ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE UPPER RACK

The height of the upper rack can be adjusted: high position to place bulky crockery in the lower basket and low position to make the most of the tip-up supports by creating more space upwards and avoid collision with the items loaded into lower rack.

The upper rack is equipped with a Upper Rack height adjuster (see figure), without pressing the levers, lift it up by simply holding the rack sides, as soon as the rack is stable in its upper position.

To restore to the lower position, press the levers A at the sides of the rack and move the basket downwards.

We strongly recommend that you do not adjust the height of the rack when it is loaded.

NEVER raise or lower the basket on one side only.

FOLDABLE FLAPS WITH ADJUSTABLE POSITION

The side foldable flaps can be fold or unfold to optimize the arrangement of crockery inside the rack.
Wine glasses can be placed safely in the foldable flaps by inserting the stem of each glass into the corresponding slots.

Depending on the model

to unfold the flaps there is needed to slide it up and rotate or release it from the snaps and pull it down.
to fold the flaps there is needed to rotate it and slide flaps down or pull it up and attach flaps to the snaps.

CUTLERY BASKET

It is fitted with top grids for improved cutlery arrangement. It must only be positioned at the front of the lower rack.

Knives and other utensils with sharp edges must be placed in the cutlery basket with the points facing downwards or they must be positioned horizontally in the tip-up compartments on the upper rack.
