We as manufacturers, however, see ourselves as being obliged to familiarise you with the following safety instructions. It is most important that this instruction book should be retained with the appliance for future reference. Should the appliance be sold or transferred to another owner, or should you move house and leave the appliance, always ensure that the book is left with the appliance in order that the new owner can get to know the functioning of the appliance and the relevant safety information. [. . . ] Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket. Forks and spoons should be placed in the removable cutlery basket with the handles facing downwards and the knives with their handles facing upwards. If the handles protrude from the bottom of the basket, obstructing the lower spray arm, load the cutlery with the handles facing upwards. For best results we recommend you to use the cutlery grids provided (if the size and dimensions of the cutlery allow it). To make the removal of cutlery easier it is possible to open the cutlery basket. To ensure that the cutlery basket cannot open when removed from the appliance always hold both parts of the two part handle. Close the two part handle. 22 117998 91/0 21-04-2006 14:46 Pagina 23 Operating instructions The upper basket The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates, saucers, dinner plates of up to 24 cm in diameter), salad bowls, cups and glasses. Arrange items on and underneath the cup racks so that water can reach all surfaces. Light items (plastic bowls etc. ) must be loaded in the upper basket and arranged so they do not move. In case that plates are loaded in the upper basket: load them starting from the rear positions of the basket; tilting them slightly forwards and avoiding the front positions near the door. Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely. 23 117998 91/0 21-04-2006 14:46 Pagina 24 Operating instructions Adjusting the height of the upper basket If washing very large plates you can load them in the lower basket after moving the upper basket to the higher position.
