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. If necessary, oversized glasses and mugs can be placed in the lower rack to maximize loading flexibility.

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.

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.

To remove end baskets, grasp the basket at opposite corners and slide apart. The basket sections should be placed in the lower rack by hanging them on the top hoop.

Silverware Basket

A variety of options is available regarding the three-piece silverware basket in your dishwasher. The complete basket is designed to fit on the right side or back of the lower rack. Additionally, each end of the basket is removable to better accommodate flatware and lower rack capacity needs.

To load flatware, simply push the adjustable handle to either side. Put flatware in the 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 for small containers, should go in the bottom of the silverware basket with silverware on top.

The lids of both end baskets can be closed to contain small items. Long items can be placed on the cupshelf in the upper rack.
