Lower Rack

The lower rack is best used for plates, saucers and cookware. Large items such as broiler pans and baking racks should go along the left-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 tines (on some models) provide flexibility for extra-large and hard-to-fit items. The tines may be left in the up position or folded down to customize the lower rack.

Remove the Upper Rack

You can remove the upper rack to allow space for large items in the lower rack.

To remove the upper rack, unsnap and remove the end caps on each side of the rails.

Unsnap

Remove end cap

Replace the end caps, then push the rails all the way back into the dishwasher. Slide the shower nozzle attachment over the spout.

Shower nozzle attachment

Pull the rack straight out and off the rails.

Then fill the lower rack and begin your cycle.

NOTE: Nozzle must be in place with upper rack removed. If not installed properly, poor wash performance and noise will result.

NOTE: Don’t forget to remove the shower nozzle attachment before you replace the upper rack.

Extra Rack Features (on some models)

Cutlery Tray

The cutlery tray holds up to 4 large knifes such as a carver, chef’s knives, bread knife, etc., that are too tall to fit in the silverware basket.

Hook the tray onto the rear of the upper rack.

Lay the knives between the guides (as shown).

Bowl Tines

The special large-bowl tines in the lower rack add flexibility to your loading pattern. They are useful for serving bowls or other large bowls.

To use the bowl tines, fold down the 2 rows of
flex tines in front of the bowl tines and load
bowls just as you would in the upper rack.	Large-bowl tines	15
