Loading the Top Rack

The top rack is designed for cups, glasses, and smaller items. (See recommended loading patterns shown.)

NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the drawings shown.

10 place setting load

■Place items so open ends face down for cleaning and draining.

■Load glasses and cups in top rack only. The bottom rack is not designed for glasses and cups. Damage can occur.

12 place setting load

■Place cups and glasses in the rows between prongs. Placing them over the prongs can lead to breakage.

Cup and glass load

■China, crystal, and other delicate items must not touch each other during dishwasher operation. Damage may occur.

■Load plastic items in the top rack only. Only plastic items marked “dishwasher safe” are recommended.

■Load plastic items so the force of the spray does not move them during the cycle.

■To avoid chipping, do not let stemware touch other items.

■Small bowls, pans, and other utensils can be placed in the top rack. Load bowls in the center section for best stability.

Cup shelf

Fold down the extra shelf on the right side of the top rack to hold additional cups, or long items such as utensils and spatulas.

Stemware holders

Use the stemware holders (attached to the cup shelf) to keep water goblets, wine glasses, etc., in place and prevent damage during washing.

Light item clips (on some models)

The light-item clips hold lightweight plastic items like cups, lids, or bowls in place during washing. You can move a clip anywhere in the rack.

To move a clip

1.Pull the clip up and off the tine.

2.Reposition the clip on another tine.
