Loading the Dishwasher

Dishwasher

For best dishwashing results, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of racks and silverware baskets may vary from your model.

Lower Rack

The lower rack is best used for plates, saucers and cookware items. Large items, such as broiler pans and baking racks should be placed along the sides of the rack. If necessary, oversized glasses and mugs can be placed in the lower rack to maximize loading flexibility. Plates, saucers and similar items should be placed between the tines in the direction that allows the item to remain secure in the rack.

NOTE: Do not load large items in the lower rack where they may block the wash jets from rinsing out the detergent dispenser.

The lower rack fold down tines can be adjusted to different upright angles or placed flat to provide flexibility for hard-to-fit or extra-large items.
