Loading The Racks; Lower Rack; Cutlery Basket; Upper Rack - Hotpoint SDL 510 Instruction Booklet

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
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.
