Upper Rack
The upper rack is for glasses, cups and saucers.
This is also a secure place for dishwasher-safe
plastics. A cup shelf may be placed in the up
or down position to add flexibility. The upper
rack is good for all kinds of odd-shaped
utensils. Saucepans, mixing bowls and other
items should be placed face down.
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.
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.

For best dishwashing results, follow these
loading guidelines. Features and appearance
of racks and silverware baskets may vary from
your model.
Lower Rack
When loading the lower rack, do not load large platters
or trays in the front left corner. They may prevent
detergent from circulating during the wash cycle.
The lower rack is best used for plates, saucers
and cookware. Large items should go along the
sides. 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.
Be careful not to let a portion of any item such as a
pot or dish handle extend through the bottom rack.
This could block the wash arm and cause poor
washing results.
