Loading the Bottom Rack
The bottom rack is designed for plates, pans, casseroles,
and utensils. Items with cooked-on or dried-on fo od
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.
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 it ems
at the sides and back. Loading such items in front can
keep the water spray from reaching the detergent
dispenser and silverware basket.
■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.
NOTE: If you have removed the bottom rack for unloading
or cleaning, replace it with the bumpers in front.

Fold-down tines (on some models)

You can fold down one or both rows of tines at the back of
the bottom rack.
1. Grasp the tip of the tine that is in the tine holder.
2. Gently pull the tine out of the tine holder.
3. Lay the row of tines down in the rack to make room for
larger dishes, bowls, pots, pans or roasters.
