Adjusting upper basket on Kenwood dishwasher

    I just bought a new dishwasher and typically my plates are too big and I need to move the upper basket upwards to make more room.

    I've got the basket out, but how do I adjust it? Do I move the slidey things on the walls of the dishwasher up or what? I tried moving them (didn't want to push too hard though) and they don't seem to want to move so either you don't do that or I need to push harder. Any help would be appreciated!

    Did you get a manual with the machine? It's usually that you do not take the basket out but that you squeeze two levers inwards (i.e. towards each other) and then gently raise the basket. It should be documented in the manual.

    Yes I got a manual and it is useless. This is a link to the manual...

    It says:
    More space an be created for large items on the upper or lower baskets by adjusting the height of the upper basket. Ensure that the rail stop is placed back properly after height adjustment.

    Then with pics:
    1. Lift (I've done that)
    2. Remove the stop (I've done that)
    3. Slide the basket out from the rail (I've done that)

    And that's all it gives - nothing to tell you what to do next to actually adjust the height.

    I figured this out tonight - there are two sets of wheels and you set the basket height depending on which set of wheels it is running on. Only problem now is that my glasses don't fit on the top shelf. Oh well, cheaper to buy a new set of glasses than a whole new crockery set.

    Lesson learnt - take your plates and cups with you to try in the dishwasher before buying it!
