Loading Your Dishwasher Racks
Wash Tower
DonÕt let any item
extend through
bottom.
NOTE: DonÕt place the silverware basket in the
front right corner because the detergent could
pour into it and damage silverware.
Silverware Baskets
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. Don’t block it or load tall things next
to it.
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.
Put flatware in the removable basket with fork and
knife handles up to protect your hands. Place
spoons and larger serving forks in the basket with
handles down. Mix knives, forks and spoons so
they donÕt nest together. Distribute evenly.
To increase the flexibility of the lower rack, the
silverware basket may be split. Grasp the basket at
opposite corners and slide apart. The basket
sections should be placed in the lower rack by
hanging them on the top hoop.
Security cell covers hinged in the silverware
basket handles can be lowered to either side to
secure lightweight items from the
effects of the vigorous wash
action.
Small plastic items,
such as measuring
spoons and lids from
small containers,
should go in the
covered silverware
basket.
Add dishes any time during the RINSE & HOLD
cycle. With other wash cycles, you can add dishes
at any time BEFORE the main detergent wash
portion of the cycle.
However, opening the door during any cycle
lessens cleaning power. So try to load everything
at the beginning.
Here's how to add a forgotten dish:
1. Push the door latch to the left. Washing will
stop.
2. Wait a few seconds until the water calms. Then
open the door. WARNING: Hot vapor may rise
from opened door.
3. Add dishes you've forgotten.
4. Close the door and push the latch to the far
right. When the door is locked, washing will
continue.
