Loading The Racks - IKEA LAGAN Manual

ENGLISH
If the rinse aid level is set to 1 (ECO), no rinse aid will be
supplied. The LOW RINSE AID indicator light will not be lit if you
run out of rinse aid. A maximum of 5 levels can be set according
to the dishwasher model. The factory setting is specific to the
model, please follow instruction above to check this for your
machine.
• If you see bluish streaks on the dishes, set a low number (2-3).
• If there are drops of water or limescale marks on the dishes,
set a high number (4-5).
Filling the detergent dispenser
Usage of detergent not designed for dishwashers may cause
malfunction or damage to the appliance.
To achieve the best washing and drying results, the combined
use of detergent, rinse aid liquid and refined salt is required.
We recommend using detergents that do not contain
phosphates or chlorine, as these products are harmful to the
environment.
Good washing results also depend on the correct amount of
detergent being used.
Exceeding the stated amount does not result in a more effective
wash and increases environmental pollution.
The amount can be adjusted to the soil level. In the case of
normally soiled items, use approximately either 35g (powder
detergent) or 35ml (liquid detergent) and additional tea spoon
of detergent directly inside the tub. If tablets are used, one
tablet will be enough.
If the crockery is only lightly soiled or if it has been rinsed
with water before being placed in the dishwasher, reduce the
amount of detergent used accordingly (minimum 25 g/ml) e.g.
skip the powder/gel putted inside the tub.

Loading the racks

TIPS
Before loading the baskets, remove all food residues from
the crockery and empty the glasses. You do not need to rinse
beforehand 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.
Warning: lids, handles, trays and frying pans do not prevent the
sprayer arms from rotating.
Place any small items in the cutlery basket. Very soiled dishes
and pans should be placed in the lower basket because in this
sector the water sprays are stronger and allow a higher washing
performance.
After loading the appliance, make sure that the sprayer arms
can rotate freely.
Upper rack
Load delicate and light dishes: glasses, cups, saucers, low salad
bowls.

3. Close the lid of the detergent dispenser by pulling it up until
the closing device is secured in place.
The detergent dispenser automatically opens up at the right
time according to the program.
Foldable flaps with adjustable
position
The side foldable flaps can be fold or
unfold to optimize the arrangement 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.
Depending on the model:
• to unfold the flaps there is needed to
slide it up and rotate or release it from
the snaps and pull it down.
• to fold the flaps there is needed to
rotate it and slide flaps down or pull it
up and attach flaps to the snaps.
Adjusting the height of the upper rack
The height of the upper rack can be
adjusted: high position to place bulky
crockery in the lower basket and low
position to make the most of the tip-
up supports by creating more space
upwards and avoid collision with the
items loaded into lower rack.
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.
