Loading the dishwasher racks.
For best dishwashing results, follow these loading guidelines. Features and
appearance of racks and silverware baskets may vary from your model.
Upper Rack
The upper rack is for glasses, cups and saucers.
Cups and glasses fit best along the sides. This is
also a secure place for dishwasher-safe plastics.
The upper rack is good for all kinds of odd-
shaped utensils. Saucepans, mixing bowls and
other items should be placed face down.
The cup shelf
(on some models) may be placed in
the up or down position to add flexibility.
Secure larger dishwasher-safe plastics over two fingers
when possible.
Make sure small plastic items are secure so they can’t fall
onto the heating element.
An upper wash arm (on some models) is located above the
top rack. Check to make sure that tall items will not block
rotation of this arm.
The Wash Tower
Keep the center area clear in the lower rack.
The wash tower rises through the center of the
lower rack during the wash and rinse portions of
the cycle.
A second wash tower
(on some models) is located
in the top rack. Water from the wash tower in the
lower rack shoots up into this wash tower and out
the openings at the top. When loading items
around this wash tower do not block the top
openings.
Don’t block or load tall things next to the
Wash Tower.
Also, be careful not to let a portion
of an item such as a pot or dish
handle extend through the bottom
rack. This could block the wash arm
and cause poor washing results.
