Loading The Racks; Lower Rack; Cutlery Basket; Upper Rack - Indesit DIF 04 Mode D'emploi

Loading the racks

Before loading the racks, remove all food residues from
EN
the crockery and empty liquids from glasses and cups.
After loading the appliance, check that the sprayer arms
can rotate freely.

Lower rack

The lower rack can hold pans, lids, plates, salad bowls,
cutlery, etc. as seen in the Loading examples.
Plates and large covers should be placed at the sides of the
rack, ensuring that they do not block the rotation of the upper
sprayer arm.
Some dishwasher models are fitted with tip-up sections
which can be used in a vertical position when arranging
plates or in a horizontal position when arranging pans and
salad bowls.

Cutlery basket

The type of cutlery basket may vary according to the
dishwasher model: it may be modular, non-modular or a sliding
version. The non-modular basket must only be positioned at
the front of the lower rack.
The modular basket may be separated into two parts, a solution
which is recommended when performing a half load wash (only
in models offering this option), is available in a sliding version
(positioned at any point on the lower rack by sliding it between
the fixed or tip-up inserts.
- Both versions are fitted with a collapsible sliding system which
means the cutlery can be arranged in the best possible way.
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.

Upper rack

Load this rack with delicate and lightweight crockery:
glasses, tea and coffee cups, saucers, small salad bowls,
saucepans and small saucepans which are not too soiled,
using the Loading examples as a guide.
