Upper Rack
Safety
Operating Instructions
Although the upper rack is for glasses, cups and saucers, pots and pans can be placed in this rack for effective cleaning. Cups and glasses fit best along the sides. This is also a secure place for dishwasher plastics.
The utility shelf (on some models) may be placed in the up or down position to add flexibility. A wine glass holder (on some models) secures wine glasses for best washability.
Some models have contoured metal cup shelves that can secure up to 12 wine glasses (as shown).
Some models have an Angled Rack System, which allows you to angle your dishes, such as coffee mugs, for better cleaning and quicker drying. To position the tines pull the lever forward then drop the tines into position, then release the lever.
Because wine glasses come in various sizes, after loading, slowly push in the rack to make sure they will clear the top of the dishwasher.
The upper rack is good for all kinds of
Secure larger
Make sure small plastic items are secure so they can’t fall onto the heater.
Be sure that items do not protrude through the bottom of the rack and block rotation of the middle spray arm. This could result in poor wash performance for items in the upper rack.
Check to make sure that no items will block rotation of the wash arm.

Adjustable Upper Rack
The standard position of your adjustable rack is “up” which allows for maximum clearance for your taller items in the lower rack. If you have taller wine glasses, tumblers or other items to place in the upper rack, you may want to adjust the rack to the lower position.
To lower the rack, support the weight of the rack with your hands as shown and press both finger pads about 1/4″ toward the inside of the rack as indicated and guide the rack down to its lower position.
To raise the rack to the “up” position, pull up on the center of the rack side frame until the rack locks into place.
While using a Single Rack Wash cycle, if you have taller glasses, 10″ plates, tumblers or other items, you may want to adjust your upper rack to a lower position.
