The Bottle Wash system is the ideal location to
position baby bottles and tall sports bottles. The
Bottle Wash clips hold bottles with small openings
in place so water jets are directed inside the bottles
to clean hard to reach areas. Clips can be installed or
removed by simply slipping the clip opening over the
top of the nozzle.

Upper Rack
To add flexibility in loading, the utility shelf (on
some models) may be placed in the up or down
position. The shelf may also be used to secure
stemware such as wine glasses. Because these
stemware items come in various sizes, slowly push
the rack in to ensure the items do not bump into
the edges of the dishwasher, which may cause
damage to the items.
The upper rack allows 2” of adjustment up or down
to accommodate large items. The upper rack may
be lowered by pushing the long flaps on each side of
the rack. This will allow you to lower the rack (see fig.
Upper Rack). To raise the rack, lift up on the rack until
the rack locks in place.
CAUTION: A loaded upper
rack may be heavier than anticipated. To
prevent minor injury or damage to the
contents, do not raise or lower the upper
rack after the rack is loaded.
The fold down tines (on some models) provide
flexibility for extra-large and hard-to-fit items.
The tine rows can be adjusted to a vertical or
lay-down position.

Upper
Rack
The upper rack is primarily for glasses, cups, and
saucers. For best wash performance, tilt cup and
glass openings toward the center of the rack. Other
items such as pots, pans, and plates may be placed
in the upper rack. This is also a secure place for
dishwasher-safe plastic items. The upper rack can
be used for odd sized utensils. Sauce pans, mixing
bowls, and other similarly shaped items should be
placed face down for best wash performance. The
dishwasher has a hidden heater, so dishwasher safe
plastic items can be placed in the lower rack.
IMPORTANT: Ensure items in the upper rack do not
interfere with the 3rd Rack (on some models) when
loading and unloading.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that items do not protrude
through the bottom of the rack or silverware basket
where they will block the rotation of the middle spray
arm. This could result in noise during operation and/
or poor wash performance.
