Indesit IDE 1005 Loading the Dishwasher, How to use the lower rack, The cutlery basket Figures A

Loading the Dishwasher

Before placing the dishes in the racks, remove the largest scraps of food left over on your plates, you will thus avoid blocking the filter, which would reduce the efficacy of the wash.

If the saucepans and frying pans are very dirty, allow them to soak before being washed.

You will thus avoid having to wash them again.

To make it easier to load your dishes, pull the racks out fully.

How to use the lower rack

We recommend you place the most difficult dishes to wash into the lower rack: saucepans, lids, soup dishes and plates (load examples are shown in the photo).

•Serving dishes and large lids: place them on the sides of the rack.

•Saucepans, salad bowls: must always be placed upside down.

•Very deep dishes: place them obliquely, thus allowing water to run down them and cleaning them better.

The cutlery basket (Figures A)

Insert the cutlery into the basket: knives and utensils with sharp blades or tips should be positioned with the sharp parts at the bottom. Position all cutlery items so that they don't touch.

If the rack has side baskets, the spoons should be loaded individually into the appropriate slots (see fig. A).

- Especially long utensils should be placed in the horizon- tal position at the front of the upper rack.

How to use the upper rack

Place delicate and lightweight dishes in the upper rack: glasses, tea cups and coffee cups, saucers - but plates too

-shallow salad bowls, slightly dirty frying pans and shallow pans (the photo illustrates a few examples).

Position lightweight dishes in such as way as to avoid their being moved by the spray of water.

-The upper rack can be equipped with one or two special tip-up compartments for mugs and cups, as well as spoons, knives and forks, which should be fitted in the slots provided. Stemmed glasses can be hooked onto these compartments by threading the stems into the slots provided (see fig. D).

After loading the dishes, remember to check that the blades on the sprayer arms can turn freely without knocking against any dishes.

How to adjust the upper rack ….

The upper rack can be set in a high or low position. To do so, open the rail stop flaps and pull the rack out completely; now place it with the back wheels in high or low position, then slide it along the guide rails until the front wheels also go in; now close the rail stop flaps (see fig. F).
