Lower Rack

When loading the lower rack, do not load large platters or trays in the front right corner. They may prevent detergent from circulating during the wash cycle.

The lower rack is best used for plates, saucers, and cookware. Large items such as broiler pans and racks should go along the right-hand side. Load platters, pots and bowls along the sides, in corners, or in the back. The soiled side of items should face the center of the rack.

Also, be careful not to let a portion of an item such as a pot or dish handle extend through the bottom rack. This could block the wash arm and result in poor wash performance.

Fold-down fingers (on some models) provide flexibility for extra-large and hard-to-fit items. The fingers may be left in the up position or folded down to customize the lower rack.

Safety Information

Operating Instructions

Don’t let any item extend through bottom.

Silverware Basket

Put flatware in the removable basket with knife handles up to protect your hands. Place spoons in the basket with handles down. Mix knives, forks and spoons so they don’t nest together. Distribute evenly. Small plastic items, such as measuring spoons and lids from small containers, should go in the bottom of the silverware basket with silverware on top.

Lids can be assembled to either end of the silverware basket to contain small items.

To assemble an end lid, place the outer lid stud into the hole on the outside of the silverware basket. Then place the inside lid stud into the inner hole in the silverware basket. Repeat for other side if desired. Long items can be placed on the cupshelf in the upper rack.

The silverware basket can be placed in the front, side or back of the lower rack.
