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
Although the upper rack is for glasses, cups
and saucers, pots and pans can be placed
in this rack for effective cleaning. Cups and
glasses fit best along the sides. This is also
a secure place for dishwasher-safe plastics.
The utility shelf (on some models) may be
placed in the up or down position to add
flexibility. A wine glass holder (on some
models) secures wine glasses for best
washability. Because wine glasses come
in various sizes, after loading, slowly push
in the rack to make sure they will clear
the top of the dishwasher.
The upper rack is good for all kinds of
odd-shaped utensils. Saucepans, mixing
bowls and other items should be placed
face down. Fold-down tines (on some
models) provide flexibility for extra-large
and hard-to-fit items.
Secure larger dishwasher-safe plastics over 2 tines
when possible.
Make sure small plastic items are secure so they
can’t fall onto the heater.
Be sure that items do not protrude through the
bottom of the rack and block rotation of the
middle spray arm. This could result in poor
wash performance for items in the upper rack.
Check to make
sure that no
items will block
rotation of the
wash arms.
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.
Silverware Basket
To load flatware, simply push the adjustable
handle to either side (on some models).
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.
The accessory
basket (on some
models) can hold
small items such
as: baby bottle
nipples, plastic lids,
corn cob holders, etc.
Don’t let any
item extend
through bottom.
To remove end baskets, grasp the basket
at opposite corners and slide apart.
