How to load your dishes

Before washing, a few small steps can help you get a better wash and keep your dishwasher for longer.
Remove the largest scraps of food left over on your plates, soak saucepans and frying pans with tough
incrustations. After loading your dishes, make sure the blades on the sprayer arm turn well

First of all.

Before placing the dishes in the
racks, remove the largest scraps
of food left over on your plates,
you will thus avoid blocking the
filter, which would reduce the
efficacy of the wash.
If the saucepans and frying pans
are very dirty, allow them to soak
before being washed. To make it
easier to load your dishes, pull the
racks out.

Multisystem racks

This dishwasher model is fitted with
newer and more modern upper and
lower racks and a cutlery basket.
They are made to provide greater
flexibility in loading dishes, making
them more suitable to meet your
specific needs.
The rack handles can be cleaned
regularly: pull out the two fastening
plugs, remove the handles and rinse
them under running water. Put the
handles back in place and fasten
them using the plugs you removed
previously.

basket is fitted with two
detachable side compartments, as
shown in figure A1, which can be
hooked on either to the upper or
lower rack, as required.

What goes into the
upper rack?

Place delicate and lightweight
dishes in the upper rack: glasses,
tea cups and coffee cups, saucers

- but plates too - shallow salad
bowls, slightly dirty frying pans and
shallow pans.
Position light weight dishes in such
a way as to avoid their being moved
by the spray of water.
The appliance can also be equipped
with one or two tip-up
compartments onto which you can
place mugs and cups, as well as
long sharp knives and serving
cutlery.
After loading the dishes, remember
to check that the blades on the
sprayer arms can turn freely
without hitting against any dishes.

upper rack

What goes into the
lower rack?

We recommend you place the most
difficult dishes to wash into the
lower rack: saucepans, lids, soup
dishes and plates, but also: mugs,
cups and glasses (see photos for
load examples).

 Serving dishes and large

lids: place them on the sides

of the rack.

 Saucepans, salad bowls:

must always be placed upside
down

 Very deep dishes: place

them obliquely, thus allowing
water to run down them and
cleaning them better

 Glasses and cups: Position

them as indicated in the figure.

The cutlery basket can be split up
by pulling out the handle and
removing the metal clip that keeps
the two parts joined together.
When you only have little cutlery
to wash, you can use just half the
basket; save space for other
crockery or place the other half of
the basket in the upper rack instead
(see figures A and B).
This basket is equipped with two
removable grids: insert the cutlery
one by one into the slots, with the
handles at the bottom. Position
them so that they don't touch.
In this specific model, the cutlery

The upper rack can be set in high
