Loading The Racks - Hotpoint FDUD 51110 ULTIMA Operating Instructions Manual

Loading the racks

Tips
Before loading the racks, remove all food residues from the
crockery and empty liquids from glasses and containers. No
preventive rinsing is needed under running water.
Arrange the crockery so that it is held in place firmly and does
not tip over and arrange the containers with the openings facing
downwards and the concave/convex parts placed obliquely,
thus allowing the water to reach every surface and flow freely.
Make sure that the lids, handles, trays and frying pans do not
prevent the spray arms from rotating. Place any small items in
the cutlery rack.
Since plastic dishes and non-stick frying pans usually retain more
water drops, their drying will be not so good as that of ceramic
or stainless-steel dishes.
Lightweight items such as plastic containers should be placed in
the upper rack and arranged so that they cannot move.
After loading the appliance, make sure that the spray arms can
rotate freely.
Lower rack
The lower rack can hold pans, lids, dishes, salad bowls, cutlery
etc. Large plates and lids should be placed at the sides of the
rack.
Very soiled dishes and pans should be placed in the lower rack
because in this sector the water sprays are stronger and allow
a higher washing performance.
Several dishwasher models are fitted with tip-up sectors
They can be used in a vertical position when arranging dishes
or in a horizontal position (lower) to load pans and salad bowls
easily.
Some models are equipped with Vertical Zone, special pull-out
*
supports in the rear of the rack that can be used to support
frying pans and baking pans in a more vertical position, thus
taking up less space.
In order to use it, just get hold of the coloured grip and pull it
upwards while rotating it forward. The supports can slide right
and left to fit the size of the crockery.
Very soiled dishes and pans should be placed in the lower rack
because in this sector the water sprays are stronger and allow
a higher washing performance.
Upper rack
Load this rack with delicate and lightweight crockery such as
glasses, cups, saucers and shallow salad bowls.
Several dishwasher models are fitted with tip-up sectors
They can be used in a vertical position when arranging tea/dessert
saucers or in a lower position to load bowls and food containers.
Tip-up compartments with adjustable position
The side tip-up compartments can be positioned at three different
heights to optimize the arrangement of the crockery inside the
rack.

Only available in selected models with different numbers and
positions.
Wine glasses can be placed safely in the
tip-up compartments by inserting the stem
of each glass into the corresponding slot.
For optimum drying results incline the tip-
up compartments more. To change the
inclination, pull up the tip-up compartment,
slide it slightly and position it as you wish.
