Lower Rack
The lower rack is best used for plates, saucers
and cookware. Large items such as broiler
pans and baking racks should go along the
left-hand side. Load platters, pots and bowls
along the sides, in corners or in the back. The
soiled side of items should face the center of
the rack. If necessary, oversized glasses and
mugs can be placed in the lower rack to
maximize loading flexibility.
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.
Fold-down tines (on some models) provide
flexibility for extra-large and hard-to-fit items.
The tines may be left in the up position or
folded down to customize the lower rack.
Removing the Upper Rack
You can remove the upper rack to allow
space for large items in the lower rack.
To remove the upper rack:
Press thumb tab out and remove the
front end caps on each side of the rail.
Pull the rack straight out and
off the rails.
Replace the end caps.
Push the rails all the way back into
the dishwasher.
Slide the shower nozzle attachment
(located in use and care bag) over the
spout.
Then fill the lower rack and begin
your cycle.
NOTE: Don’t forget to remove the shower
nozzle attachment before you replace the
upper rack.

Silverware Basket
To load flatware, simply push the adjustable
handle to either side. Put flatware in the
removable basket with fork and knife handles
up to protect your hands. Place spoons in the
basket with handles down. Mix knives, forks
and spoons so they don’t nest together.
Distribute evenly. Small plastic items, such
as measuring spoons and lids from small
containers should go in the bottom of the
silverware basket with the silverware on top.
The one-piece silverware basket (on some
models) can be placed in the front, right side
or back of the lower rack.
A variety of options is available regarding
the three-piece silverware basket (on some
models) in your dishwasher. The complete
basket is designed to fit on the right side of
the lower rack. Additionally, each end of
the basket is removable to add loading
flexibility to accommodate flatware and
lower rack capacity needs.
The lids of both end and middle baskets (on
some models) can be closed to contain small
items. Long items can be placed on the utility
shelf in the upper rack.
