Loading The Racks - Whirlpool ADPU 502 Daily Reference Manual

LOADING THE RACKS

UPPER RACK
Load delicate and light dishes: glasses, cups, saucers, low salad bowls.
ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE UPPER RACK
The height of the upper basket can be adjusted: high position to
place bulky crockery in the lower basket and low position to make the
most of the tip-up compartments by creating more space upwards.
The upper rack is equipped with a Upper Rack height adjuster
(see figure), without pressing the levers, lift it up by simply holding
the rack sides, as soon as the rack is stable in its upper position. To
restore to the lower position, press the levers (A) at the sides of the
rack and move the basket downwards.
We strongly recommend that you do not adjust the height of
the rack when it is loaded.
NEVER raise or lower the basket on one side only.
FOLDABLE FLAPS WITH ADJUSTABLE POSITION
The side foldable flaps can be positioned at
three different heights to optimize the arran-
gement of crockery inside the rack.
Wine glasses can be placed safely in the
foldable flaps by inserting the stem of each
glass into the corresponding slots.
For optimum drying results incline the
foldable flaps more. To change the inclination,
pull up the foldable flap, slide it slightly and
position it as you wish.

A
SLIDING TRAY
The upper rack is fitted with
a sliding tray which can be used
to hold small crockery and cutle-
ry.
For optimum washing perfor-
mance, avoid positioning bulky
crockery directly below the tray.
The tray is removable.
LOWER RACK
For pots, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc.... Large plates and lids
should ideally be placed at the sides to avoid interferences with the
spray arm.
(loading example for the lower rack)
The lower rack has tip-up supports which can be used in a vertical
position when arranging plates or in a horizontal position (lower) to
load pans and salad bowls easily.
The lower rack has a Space Zone, a special pull-out support in the rear
of the rack that can be used to support frying pans or baking pans in
upright position, thus taking up less space.
CUTLERY BASKET
It is fitted with top grids for improved cutlery arrangement. It must
only be positioned at the front of the lower rack.
