Loading the Bottom Rack, Stemware holders

Flexible tines, top rack

The row of tines on the left side of the top rack can be adjusted to make room for a variety of dishes. The tine adjuster has a teal colored tip. Gently push the tine down, toward the center of the rack, to make room for larger dishes.

Loading the Bottom Rack

The bottom rack is designed for plates, pans, casseroles, and utensils. Items with cooked-on or dried-on food should be loaded with soiled surfaces facing inward to the spray. (See recommended loading patterns shown.)

NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the drawings shown.

Stemware holders

Use the stemware holders (attached to the cup shelf) to keep water goblets, wine glasses, etc., in place and prevent damage during washing.

Light item clips

You can hold lightweight plastic items like cups, lids, or bowls in place during washing with the Light Item clips. You can move a clip anywhere in the rack.

To move a clip

1.Pull the clip up and off the tine.

2.Reposition the clip on another tine.

Mixed load

■Do not load glasses, cups, or plastic items in the bottom rack. Load small items in the bottom rack only if they are secured in place.

■Load plates, soup bowls, etc., between prongs and facing inward to the spray.

■Overlap the edges of plates for large loads.

■Load soup, cereal, and serving bowls in the rack in a variety of ways depending upon their size and shape. Load bowls securely between the rows of prongs. Do not nest bowls because the spray will not reach all surfaces.

Utensil load

■Load cookie sheets, cake pans, and other large items at the sides and back. Loading such items in front can keep the water spray from reaching the detergent dispenser.

■Secure heavily soiled cookware face down in the rack.

■Make sure pot handles and other items do not stop rotation of the spray arm(s). The spray arm(s) must move freely.

■Do not load items between the bottom rack and the side of the dishwasher tub. You can block the water inlet opening.
