LOADING YOUR DISHWASHER

Loading the bottom rack

Load items with cooked-on or dried-on food in the bottom rack, with soiled surfaces facing inward to the spray.

Mixed load

•Load plates, soup bowls, etc., between prongs and facing inward to the spray.

•Make sure pot handles and other items do not stop rotation of the spray arm. Spray arm must move freely.

•Load heavily soiled cookware face down in rack.

•Do not stack or overlap dishes. Water spray must reach all soiled surfaces for best results.

Utensil load

•Load cookie sheets, cake pans, and other large items at sides and back. Loading such items in front may keep water spray from reaching detergent dispenser and silverware basket.

NOTES:

•Do not load glasses, cups, or plastic items in the bottom rack.

•Do not load items between the bottom rack and the dishwasher tub. This can block the water inlet opening.

•If you have removed the bottom rack for unloading or cleaning, replace it with bumpers in front.

Fold-down dividers

(on some models)

Fold-down dividers at the back of the rack can be lowered to make room for deep bowls, roasters, and other large items.
