Upper Rack
The upper rack is for glasses, cups and saucers. Cups
and glasses fit best along the sides. This is also a secure
place for dishwasher-safe plastics.
The cup 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 at an
angle 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.
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.
Wash
Tower
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.
A second wash tower is located in the top rack. Water
from the wash tower in the lower rack shoots up into
this wash tower and out the openings at the top. When
loading items around this wash tower do not block the
top openings.
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.
Lower Rack
When loading the lower rack, do not load large platters
or trays in the front right corner. They may prevent
detergent from circulating during the wash cycle.
The lower rack is best used for plates, saucers, and
cookware. Large items such as broiler pans and racks
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.
Fold-down fingers provide flexibility for extra large
and hard-to-fit items.
The fingers may be left in the up position or folded
down to customize the lower rack.
