Loading the Racks

D i s h w a s h e r

Adjustable Upper Rack (on some models)

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.

Silverware Basket

To load flatware, simply push the adjustable handle to either side (on some models).

Put flatware in the removable basket with fork and 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 from small containers should go in the bottom of the silverware basket with the silverware on top.

Don’t let any item extend through bottom.

The one-piece silverware basket can be placed in the front, right side or back of the lower rack.

A variety of options are available regarding the three-piece silverware basket (on some models) in your dishwasher. The complete basket is designed to fit on the right side of the lower rack. Additionally, each end of the basket is removable to add loading flexibility to accommodate flatware and lower rack capacity needs.

Three-piece basket (on some models)

The lids of both end and middle baskets (on some models) can be closed to contain small items. Long items can be placed on the utility shelf in the upper rack.

One-piece basket (on some models)

To remove end baskets, grasp the basket at opposite corners and slide apart.
