Lower Rack - SCHOLTES LTE S3 XL60HZ Instrucciones De Uso

There are generally no constraints on the washing of
EN
domestic dishes, but in certain cases it is necessary to
take their characteristics into account. Before loading the
dishes into the racks it is necessary to:
•
remove coarse food remains: e.g. bones, fish-bones,
etc. which may clog the filter or damage the wash pump;
•
soak any pots or pans with burnt-on food remains on
the bottom to facilitate removal, then load them into
the LOWER RACK.
Use the "½ load wash" option (if available) for washing
small amounts of dishes; it saves water and electricity.
When using this function, only load the rack selected
for the ½ load wash; the other rack must remain empty.
There is no need to pre-wash the dishes under running
water before loading them into the racks since this only
wastes water. Correct loading of the dishes helps
ensure optimal washing results.
WARNING!
•
make sure that the dishes are securely in place so that
they cannot tip over or obstruct the rotation of the
spray arms during the washing cycle;
•
do not place very small objects in the racks as these
could fall and obstruct the spray arms or the wash pump;
•
containers such as cups, bowls, glasses and pots
should always be loaded with the opening facing
downwards and with any cavities at an angle, to allow
the water to drain out;
•
do not stack dishes or place them in such a way that
they cover one other;
•
do not place glasses too close together because they
may knock against each other and break, or there
might be staining at the point where they touch.
MAKE SURE that the items being washed are
dishwasher-safe.
Items which are not dishwasher-safe:
•
Wooden dishes, pots or pans: these may be
damaged by the high washing temperatures.
•
Handcrafted items: these are rarely suitable for
washing in a dishwasher. The relatively high water
temperatures and the detergents used may damage
them.
•
Lightweight objects: place lightweight objects in the
upper rack where the water pressure is lower.
•
Dishes and objects in copper, tin, zinc or brass:
these tend to stain.
•
Aluminum dishes: items made from anodized
aluminum may lose their color.
•
Silverware: silver items may stain.
•
Glass and crystal: in general, glass and crystal
objects can be washed in the dishwasher. However,
certain types of glass and crystal may become dull
and lose their clearness after many washings.
18
Therefore, for these items we recommend using the
least aggressive program available (see "Description
of controls" manual).
•
Decorated items: the decorated objects available on
the market are generally able to withstand washing in
the dishwasher, although the colors may fade after a
great many washes. If in doubt as to the fastness of
the colors, it is advisable to wash just a few items at a
time for approximately one month.
4.3 Using the racks
The dishwasher has a capacity of 12 place-settings,
including serving dishes.
Examples of loading 12 place-settings in the upper rack
(see fig. 4-05) and in the lower rack (see fig. 4-06) are
shown below.

4.3.1 Lower rack

The lower rack receives the full force of the lower spray
arm, and should therefore be used for the "toughest" items
with a heavier degree of soiling. All types and combinations
of loads are permitted, provided that the dishes, pots and
pans are arranged with all the soiled surfaces exposed to
the water jets coming from the bottom. To make the most of
the space inside the rack when loading large items, certain
models are equipped with tip-up supports for plates in 2 or
4 sections (see fig. 4-07).
