Loading the Racks

Dishwasher

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, or they can be placed soil side down. 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.

Be sure tall tines in the lower rack do not block the spray arm above them. Check for this by spinning the arm when both racks are pushed all the way in.

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, push thumb tab out and remove the front end caps on each side of the rail.

Extra Rack Features (on some models)

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.

Cutlery Tray

The cutlery tray holds up to 4 large knives 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
