dishwasher-safe plastics.
The cup 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 at an angle for best washability.
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 odd-shaped utensils.
Saucepans, mixing bowls and other items should be placed
face down. Fold-down fingers provide flexibility for extra large
and hard-to-fit items.
Secure larger dishwasher-safe plastics over two fingers when
possible.
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 tall items will not block rotation of
the top wash arm.
Keep the center area clear in the lower rack.
The wash tower rises through the center of the lower rack
during the wash and rinse portions of the cycle. The wash
tower shoots water into the mid-level wash arm located under
the upper rack. Blocking the wash tower could result in poor
wash performance for items in the upper rack.

A second wash tower is located in the top rack. Water from the wash tower in the lower rack shoots up into this wash tower and out the openings at the top. When loading items around this wash tower do not block the top openings.

Do not block or load tall things next to the wash tower.

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 sides. 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. 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 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.
