Loading Top Rack

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

Quiet operating tips

To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation:

■Make sure lightweight load items are secured in the racks.

■Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets, etc., do not touch interior walls or interfere with the rotation of the spray arm(s).

■Load dishes so they do not touch one another.

NOTE: For built-in models, keep sink drain plugs closed during dishwasher operation to avoid noise transfer through drains.

The top rack is designed for cups, glasses, and smaller items. Many items, up to 11" (28 cm), fit in the top rack. (See recommended loading patterns shown.)

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

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

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

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

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

■Load lightweight 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.
