Dishwasher Features

Your Maytag dishwasher may have some or all of these features.

Split & Fit™ Utensil Basket

The split silverware basket can be separated and placed in various locations in the lower rack. Load flatware and utensils into both sections or just one, depending on your load.

To split the basket:

Hold the basket firmly along the sides. Unlock the baskets.

Auxiliary Basket (select models)

Use this supplemental basket in the upper or middle rack for loading miscellaneous items and utensils. This is also a proper place to load sharp knives and pointed items.

Utility Basket for Lower Rack (select models)

This basket is designed to load miscellaneous items such as silverware, cooking utensils, knives and other larger utensils.

Cup Clips

The Cup Clips located in the center of the upper rack can be used to hold lightweight plastic items, cooking utensils and knives in place. Clip the item between the tine and the clip.

Vari-Lock™ Snugger

The Vari-Lock™ Snugger holds lightweight plastic items such as cups, lids, or bowls in place during washing.

To adjust the Vari-Lock™ Snugger:

Grasp the wavy wire and rotate it to the left to snug items against the outer rack or rotate it to the right to rest on top of light items.

Folding Tines

The Folding Tines located in the front right corner (upper rack) provide convenient loading space for large, bulky items such as pots, pans and mixing bowls.

To lower the tines:

Gently push the tines out of each holder toward the center rack and lay the tines down.

Convertible Tines

The Convertible Tines in the back, right corner can be adjusted to provide narrow spacing for loading plates or wide spacing for loading deep bowls, pots or pans. Flip tines up for narrow spacing or down for wider spacing.

Stack-Rack™

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