Adjusting the upper basket
In order to obtain more space for taller items
in the lower or upper basket, the upper bas-
ket can be adjusted between two vertical
positions that are approx. 2" (5cm) apart.
 Pull out the upper basket.
 Unscrew the lock nuts on both sides.
 Lift or lower the basket into the desired
position.
 Tighten the lock nuts again.
The upper basket must be level in both
positions.
If the upper basket is inclined, a water
connection is not possible.
 Damage caused by the water connec-
tion being positioned incorrectly.
The position of the water connection
needs to be adjusted after the height of
the upper basket has been changed.
When changing the height of the upper
basket, always adjust the water connec-
tion accordingly before pushing the upper
basket back in.
 Turn the upper basket water connection to
the upper or lower position.
The water connection must click audibly
into place.
Depending on the position of the upper bas-
ket, the following plate dimensions can be
accommodated:
