Thermador DW44ZB Loading the Bottom Rack, Accomodating Extra Tall Items, Reinstall the Upper Rack

Loading the Bottom Rack

Note: For the best drying results,

place tall items such as plastic cutting boards and tall baking sheets on the lower rack's left side or back. This will keep the vent on the dishwasher tub’s right side unobstructed.

Place large items in the bottom rack of the dishwasher. Load pots and pans upside-down. For larger items, fold down the rear tines on the bottom rack. Figure 6 shows a typical mixed load in the lower rack.

Figure 8 shows the bottom rack load pattern for 12 place settings.

2.Pull the front of the rack upward and outward until the rollers are completely free of the roller guides.

3.Slide the roller guides back into the dishwasher.

4.Insert the sprinkler into the upper rack spray outlet at the back of the dishwasher tub as shown in Figure 9, and turn the sprinkler clockwise.

1.Tilt the upper rack upwards and position the upper rack rollers onto the roller guides.

2.Continue pushing the upper rack until the rollers are on the guide.

3.Push the upper rack into the dishwasher tub.
