Indesit IDS 105 manual Loading the racks, Lower rack, Cutlery basket, Upper rack

Loading the racks

Before loading the racks, remove all food residues from EN the crockery and empty liquids from glasses and cups.

Arrange the crockery so that it is held in place firmly and does not tip over.

After loading the appliance, check that the sprayer arms can rotate freely.

Lower rack

The lower rack can hold pans, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery, etc. as seen in the Loading examples.

Plates and large covers should be placed at the sides of the rack, ensuring that they do not block the rotation of the upper sprayer arm.

Some dishwasher models are fitted with tip-up sections*, which can be used in a vertical position when arranging plates or in a horizontal position when arranging pans and salad bowls.

Cutlery basket

The type of cutlery basket may vary according to the dishwasher model: The cutlery basket should be positioned at the front of the lower rack, by sliding it between the fixed inserts, or on the upper rack when the half load option has been selected (in models featuring this option).

- It has a collapsible sliding system which means the cutlery can be arranged in the best possible way.

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.

Upper rack

Load this rack with delicate and lightweight crockery: glasses, tea and coffee cups, saucers, small salad bowls, saucepans and small saucepans which are not too soiled, using the Loading examples as a guide.

•Mugs and cups, long sharp knives and serving utensils: place these on the tip-up compartments**.

Tip-up compartments with adjustable tilt*

-The tilt feature can be used to increase the space in the upper rack, to position wine glasses with different stem lengths safely and to improve drying performance.

Tilt A Tilt B Tilt C

-Lift the tip-up compartment, slide it gently and position it in the desired tilt angle.

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 lift or lower the rack on one side only.

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.
