The lower rack is best used for plates, saucers, and cookware. Large items such as broiler pans and racks should go in the lower rack along the edge. Load platters, pots and bowls along the sides, in corners, or in the back. For best washing results, all items should be positioned with the soiled side of the dish facing the center of the rack.
Keep center area clear in the lower rack.
The wash tower rises through the center of the lower rack during the wash and ri;se portions of the cycle. Don’t block it or load tall things next to it. 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 cause poor washing results.
Put flatware in the removable basket with handles up to protect your hands. 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 are not recommended for automatic dishwashing. If placed in dishwasher, they should go in bottom of silverware basket with silverware on top.
