Loading the upper basket
The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and teacups, and saucers, as well as plates, small bowl,s and shallow pans (as long as they are not too dirty). Position the dishes and cookware so that they will not get moved by the spray of water.
Loading the lower basket
We suggest that you place large items and the most difficult to clean items are to be placed into the lower basket: such as pots, pans, lids, serving dishes, and bowls, as shown in the figure below. It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the side of the racks to avoid blocking the rotation of the top spray arm.
The maximum diameter advised for plates in front of the detergent dispenser is 19 cm, this is not to hamper the opening of it.
Loading the cutlery basket
Cutlery should be placed in the cutlery rack separately from each other in the appropriate positions, and do make sure the utensils do not nest together, this may cause bad performance.
To prevent water dripping from the upper basket into the lower basket, we recommend that you empty the lower basket first, followed by the upper basket. Items will be hot! To prevent damage, do not take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher for around 15 minutes after the program has ended.
The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes, which can leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to roll off the dishes. Your dishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse aids.
The frequency of refill depends on how often dishes are washed and the rinse aid setting used. The Low Rinse Aid indicator will appear on the display when more rinse aid is needed. Do not overfill the rinse aid dispenser.

The control panel
