Loading The Racks; Lower Rack; Cutlery Basket; Upper Rack - Hotpoint Ariston LI 680 PLUS Manual De Instrucciones

Loading the racks

 Before loading the rack, remove all food residue from the
crockery, leave saucepans and frying pans with burnt-on
residue to soak and empty all remaining liquid from cups and
glasses. After loading the appliance, check that the sprayer
arms can rotate freely.

Lower rack

Arrange the more difficult items to wash using the Loading
examples as a guide and use the collapsible supports* where
needed.
• Serving dishes and lids: place these at the sides
of the rack.
• Saucepans and salad bowls: always turn these
upside down.
• Very deep dishes: position these at an angle.
In order to guarantee the best washing and drying
performance, the surface of the lower rack is more uneven
than that of the upper rack.

Cutlery basket

The type of cutlery basket may vary according to the
dishwasher model.
 Knives and other sharp utensils should be placed in the
cutlery basket with the point facing downwards.
To divide the central basket* into two separate pieces: pull out
the handle. The two detachable side compartments* may be
hooked onto the upper or lower rack.
The two grids* may be positioned in the basket to separate
the cutlery: place the pieces of cutlery into the appropriate
compartments with the handles at the bottom.

Upper rack

Load this rack with delicate and lightweight crockery: glasses,
tea and coffee cups, saucers, small salad bowls, saucepans
and small saucepans that are not too soiled, using the Loading
examples as a guide.
• Lightweight crockery: position these dishes so
that they will not be moved by the jets of water.
• Mugs and cups: place these on the tip-up
compartments**.
• Long sharp knives and serving utensils: place
these on the tip-up compartments**.
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.
