Loading The Racks - Hotpoint LFFA+ 8M14 Operating Instructions Manual

Loading the racks

Before loading the racks, remove all food residue from
EN
crockery and empty liquids from glasses and cups.
After loading the appliance, make sure that the sprayer arms
can rotate freely.
Lower rack and cutlery basket
The lower rack can hold pans, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery, etc.
Large plates and lids should ideally be placed at the sides of the rack.
Several dishwasher models are fitted with tip-up sections
can be used in a vertical position when arranging plates or in
a horizontal position when arranging saucepans, salad bowls
and frying pans.
The type of cutlery basket may vary (modular or non-modular)
according to the dishwasher model. The non-modular basket
must only be positioned at the front of the lower rack.
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.
We recommend the use of crockery which is dishwasher
safe.

Only available in selected models. The number and position

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 raise or lower the rack on one side only.
Both are fitted
with grilles over
the top, for im-
proved cutlery
arrangement.
Items that should not be washed in the dishwasher
• Wooden items, objects with wooden or horn handles or glued-
on parts.
• Items made from aluminium, copper, brass, pewter or tin.
• Items made from plastic material which is not heat-resistant.
• Antique or hand-painted porcelain.
• Antique silver. Silver that is not antique may, however, be
washed in the dishwasher using a delicate wash cycle,
provided that it does not come into contact with other metals.
The tip-up compartments
can be positioned at different
heights, to optimise the
arrangement of crockery
throughout the rack. Wine
glasses can be placed safely
in the tip-up compartments,
by inserting the stem of each
glass into the corresponding
slots.
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 (see figure), pull out the
upper 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.
