Upper Rack
Features and appearance of racks and
silverware basket may vary from your model.
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 and should be
placed open-end down. 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. 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 tines (on some models) provide
flexibility for extra-large and hard-to-fit items.
Secure larger dishwasher-safe plastics over 2 tines
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 no items will block rotation
of the wash arm.
