Hotpoint FDFSM 31011 FUTURA manual Tip-up compartments with adjustable position, Cutlery tray

GB	Tip-up compartments with adjustable position
	The side tip-up compartments can be positioned at three
	different heights to optimize the arrangement of crockery inside
	the rack.
	Wine glasses can be placed safely in the tip-up compartments
	by inserting the stem of each glass into the corresponding slots.

Cutlery tray*

Some dishwasher models are fitted with a sliding tray which can be used to hold serving utensils or small cups. For optimum washing performance avoid positioning bulky crockery directly below the tray. The cutlery tray can be removed (see Figure).

Before loading the tray, make sure the supports are properly coupled to the up- per rack (see Figure).

The upper rack can be adjusted for height based on requirements: high position to place bulky crockery in the lower rack and low position to make the most of the tip-up compartments/sectors by creating more space upwards.

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 position.

The height of the upper rack should be adjusted WHEN THE RACK IS EMPTY.

NEVER raise or lower the rack on one side only.

If the rack is equipped with a Lift-Up device* (see figure), lift it up by holding its sides. To restore the lower position, press the levers (A) at the sides of the rack and follow the rack down.

Unsuitable crockery

•Delicate decorated glasses, artistic handicraft and antique crockery. Their decorations are not resistant.
