Loading The Racks; Lower Rack; Upper Rack - Hotpoint Ariston LSPA+ 720A.1 Mode D'emploi

Loading the racks

Before loading the racks, remove all food residues from
the crockery and empty liquids from glasses and cups.
Arrange the crockery so that it is held in place firmly and
does not tip over.
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
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: The cutlery basket should be positioned at the front of
the lower rack, by sliding it between the fixed inserts, or on the
upper rack when the half load option has been selected (in
models featuring this option).
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.

Adjusting the height of the upper rack
In order to make it easier to arrange the crockery, the upper
rack may be moved to a higher or lower level.
The height of the upper rack should ideally be adjusted
WHEN THE RACK IS EMPTY.
Never lift or lower the rack on one side only.
Open the left and right guide rail stops
and pull out the rack; position it higher
or lower as required, slide it along the
guide rails until the front wheels are in
place and close the stops (see figure).
If the rack is fitted with "Dual Space"
handles
rack until it reaches its stop point, grip
the handles at the sides of the rack and
move it upwards or downwards, then
slowly let it fall back into place.
