Loading 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.

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 tines 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 tines. 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 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 because they might block the water inlet opening.

NOTE: If you have removed the bottom rack for unloading or cleaning, replace it with the bumpers in front.
