Quiet operating tips

To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation:
■Make sure lightweight load items are secured in the racks.
■Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets,
etc., do not touch interior walls or interfere with the rotation of
the spray arm(s).
■Load dishes so they do not touch one another.
NOTE: For built-in models, keep sink drain plugs closed during
dishwasher operation to avoid noise transfer through drains.
Loading Top Rack
The top rack is designed for cups, glasses, and smal ler items.
Many items, up to 11" (28 cm), fit in the top rack. (See
recommended loading patterns shown.)
NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the
drawings shown.
■Place items so open ends face down for cleaning and
draining.
■Load glasses in top rack only. The bottom rack is not
designed for glasses. Damage can occur.
■Place cups and glasses in the rows between tines. Placing
them over the tines can lead to breakage and water spots.
■China, crystal, and other delicate items must not touch each
other during dishwasher operation. Damage may occur.
■Load lightweight plastic items in the top rack only. Only
plastic items marked “dishwasher safe” are recommended.
■Load plastic items so the force of the spray does not move
them during the cycle.
■To avoid chipping, do not let stemware touch other items.
■Small bowls, pans, and other utensils can be placed in the
top rack. Load bowls in the center section for best stability.

Cup shelves (on some models)

Fold down the extra shelf on the left-hand or right-hand side of
the top rack to hold additional cups, stemware or long items such
as utensils and spatulas.
NOTE: The features on your dishwasher may vary from those
shown below.
