Adjusting the height of your Smeg dishwasher's basket is a simple way to customize the internal space, allowing you to easily accommodate various sizes of dishes, glasses, and cookware. This flexibility helps optimize loading and ensures effective cleaning for all your items.
Steps to Adjust Your Smeg Dishwasher Basket Height
To modify the height of your dishwasher basket, follow these straightforward instructions:
- Empty the Basket: For ease of movement and to prevent any items from being damaged or falling, ensure the dishwasher basket you plan to adjust is completely empty.
- Locate Adjustment Tabs: Identify the adjustment tabs situated on the sides of the basket. These tabs are specifically designed for lifting or lowering the basket.
- Raise the Basket:
- Gently pull up the tabs on both sides of the basket simultaneously.
- While holding the tabs, raise the basket to the desired height. You may feel or hear it click into one of the available positions.
- Ensure it's Level: Once the basket is at the required height, release the tabs. It's crucial to confirm that the basket sits perfectly level to ensure even loading and optimal wash performance.
Benefits of Adjusting Your Dishwasher Basket
Customizing the basket height offers several practical advantages:
- Accommodate Tall Items: If you need to wash tall wine glasses, large serving platters, or baking sheets, you can lower one basket while raising the other to create the necessary clearance.
- Optimize Loading: Efficiently arrange dishes to prevent overcrowding and ensure that water spray arms are not obstructed, leading to a more thorough clean.
