4.4 Using the baskets
The dishwasher has a capacity of
14 place-settings
, including serving dishes.
LOWER BASKET
The lower basket receives the full force of the lower spray arm, and should therefore be used for
the “toughest” items with a heavier degree of soiling. All types and combinations of loads are
permitted, provided that the dishes, pots and pans are arranged with all the soiled surfaces
exposed to the water jets coming from the bottom.
For optimum use of space, the bottom basket is fitted with two plate supports which can be laid flat
if there are no plates to be loaded. It also has a "tip-up support" (with one or two sectors depending
on models) for small plates; to take small plates, it must be positioned as shown in the illustrations.
LOADING THE LOWER BASKET
Carefully load flat plates, soup plates, dessert and serving dishes, positioning them vertically. Pots,
pans and their covers must be loaded upside down. When loading soup plates and dessert bowls,
be sure to leave a gap between them.
