Upper Rack
The Vari-LockTM Snugger on the left secures lightweight
items in place. It can be adjusted by grasping the wavy
wire and rotating it left to snug items against the outer rack
or to the right to rest on top of light items. Do not load
items on top of the wire.

stemware will fit better on the right side as the upper rack
is deeper on this side.
Glasses, cups, stemware, light-weight plastics, small
plates, bowls, pans, long-handled utensils etc. can be
loaded in this rack. Do not load glasses over the tines.
