Rack Adjustments

The Lower Rack

The lower rack is best for dinner plates, smaller plates, serving plates, larger bowls, pots, and pans.

• Securely place heavily soiled cookware face down in the rack.

• Use the fold-down tines to provide space for large items such as pots and pans.

Make sure pot handles and other items do not stop rotation of lower wash arm by hanging below the rack.

The Upper Rack

The upper rack is best for glasses, cups, bowls, small plates, and saucers and can accommodate full sized plates up to 10-1/4”.

Make sure items hanging below the rack do not block the rotation of the wash arm.

Make sure small plastic

items are held firmly in

place with Hold Tight™ dividers.

Arrange stemware between prongs of stemware cradle so that the stemware cannot move easily.

Make sure items hanging below the rack do not block the rotation of the wash arm.
