Hotpoint Dishwasher - Manual (Page 6)

Loaded right, dishes get cleaner.
This is a random mixed load, most common
type you will have.
Make sure dishes are properly loaded to insure
that water can reach the soiled surfaces. The
wash arm in the bottom sprays water up. The
tower that rises in the center sends water out
over the dishes to wash the items in the upper
rack. On some models so equipped a spray arm
in the top washes down also.
How
to load the
TOP RACK.
The top rack is best for glasses, cups and
saucers. Cups and glasses fit best along the
sides. This is the place for dishwasher-safe
plastics, too. Make sure small plastic items are
lodged in tightly so they can’t fall onto the
heating unit.
DO NOT THIS AREA
LOAD NEXT IT.
WATCH OUT FOR THIS.
The wash tower rises through the center of the
bottom rack during the and rinse portions
of the cycle. Don’t block it or load tall things
next to it. Also, be careful not to let portion of
an item extend through the bottom rack or the
silverware basket, such as knives, skewers or
pot handles.
Sauce pans, mixing bowls and other small
items may be placed—face down—in the top
rack. The top rack is handy for all kinds of
odd shapes. Be sure the force of water and
detergent can reach soiled surfaces.
