To unload your dishwasher more easily, you can take the cutlery basket out of the lower basket and unfold it. This makes it easier to remove small pieces of cutlery. To prevent the full cutlery basket from inadvertently unfolding when being taken out, place your hand right round the two-piece handle and hold it firmly. Place the cutlery basket on a firm support (table, worktop) and unfold both handle parts. After unfolding, fold back both handle parts. UI20 18 152975 62/0en 10-01-2003 13:04 Pagina 19 The upper basket The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates, saucers, dinner plates up to 24 cm in diameter), salad bowls, cups and glasses. Glasses with long stems can be placed upsidedown in the cup-racks The cup-rack on the left folds upwards to increase your loading flexibility. Arrange items on and underneath the cup racks so that water can reach all surfaces. Light items (plastic bowls etc. ) should be loaded in the upper basket and arranged so they do not move. US69 Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely. Adjusting the height of the upper basket If washing very large plates (over 27 cm and up to 31 cm in diameter) you can load them in the lower basket after moving the upper basket to the higher position. To move to the higher position proceed as follows: 1. Move the front runner stops (A) of the upper basket outward and slide the basket out. Refit the basket in the higher position and replace the stops (A) in their original position. When the top basket is in the higher position it will only take plates up to 20 cm in diameter and you will not be able to use the cup racks. After loading your machine always close the door, as an open door can be a hazard. 19 RC01 152975 62/0en 10-01-2003 13:04 Pagina 20 Use of detergent Attention!Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers. If using powder detergents proceed as follows: 1. Open the dispenser lid by pulling the catch (D). Add the detergent according to the recommended quantity given in the "Washing programmes" chart. As all detergents are not the same, please pay attention also to the instructions from the manufacturer of your brand. If the programme has a prewash add a little amount of detergent over the lid of the dispenser according to the recommended quantity given in the "Washing programmes" chart. DE17 If using detergent in tablets proceed as follows: 1. For all programmes; place 1 tablet inside the detergent dispenser. For all programmes with prewash; place a portion of a further tablet on the lid of the detergent dispenser. DE02 At the end of any washing programme the lid is always open, ready for the next wash. 20 152975 62/0en 10-01-2003 13:04 Pagina 21 Remember that insufficient quantities of detergent will produce poor washing results whereas an excessive amount of detergent does not improve washing results and is also wasteful. [. . . ] Your local Water Authority will advise you on the average mains pressure in your area. Avoid bends or kinks in the hose which could prevent or slow down the water supply. If the machine is connected to new pipes or pipes which have not been used for a long time, you should run the water for a few minutes before connecting the inlet hose. This will prevent deposits of sand or rust clogging the inlet hose filter. [. . . ]
