The adjustable rack system provides flexibility in loading, making it easy to fit in larger pots and pans alongside everyday dishes.

The HDA3530 and HDA3520 are equipped with the industry-leading Direct Feed Wash System.

Both models feature a variety of wash cycles, including Heavy, Normal, and Quick Wash options.
