Procedure for setting the springs:
§
Take the inserted crockery items out of the plate dispenser (if available).
§
Hook or unhook adjustable springs uniformly in all groups of springs.
§
Preferably unhook the adjustable springs. Always leave the base springs inserted, if possible. Always
unhook the springs on the lower attachment bar.
Both steps must be repeated as often as possible, until the dispensing height is in the range from 1.57'' (4
cm) to 2.36'' (6 cm). So long as the same kind of crockery is always used, the dispensing height only needs
to be set once.
NOTE
Arrangement of the springs
For guiding the guide basket uniformly and without friction, a symmetrical
arrangement of springs between the attachment bars is necessary.
A slightly asymmetrical arrangement of springs within an attachment bar does
not pose any problem.
NOTE
Spring system
Since the plate dispensing tubes are designed for a maximum crockery load,
the available spring system of the appliances is entirely sufficient for all usual
market
plates.
Owing to the base springs with higher tension, the plate dispensing tubes are
unsuitable for plastic items.
5.2.3
Calculating the capacity of the plate dispensing tubes
The capacity of the plate dispensing tube depends on the type of crockery used.
All the leading manufacturers give the necessary data for calculating the intermediate stack height in the fol-
lowing manner:
