using your dishwasher
Loading the lower rack
Load cookware (pots, pans, etc.), up to 14 in. (36 cm) in diameter into the lower rack. The lower rack has been especially designed for dinner dishes, soup bowls, plates, pots, lids, casserole dishes and plates.
Load your plates into the center column of the rack so their open sides face towards the right. Load large items such as pans and pots into the dishwasher so their open sides face downwards. We recommend loading cups, stemware and small plates into the upper rack.
See the recommended loading patterns below.

Loading the upper rack
The upper rack has been designed for small plates, mugs, glasses and plastic items marked “dishwasher safe”. Load your plates into the dishwasher so their open sides face forward. If a number of cups or cookware items need to be washed, you can adjust the angle of the movable tines or remove them to make more room.
Make sure the loaded dishes do not interfere with the rotation of the nozzle which is located at the bottom of the upper rack. (Check this by rotating the nozzle by hand.)

Using the glass support
You can load cups or glasses onto the glass support. This is also very convenient for washing wine glasses. Hang your wine glasses onto the pegs of the glass support.
You can fold the glass support back when it is not being used.
