Flexible tines, top rack
The row of tines on the left side of the top rack can be
adjusted to make room for a variety of dishes. The tine
adjuster has a teal colored tip. Gently push the tine down,
toward the center of the rack, to make room for larger
dishes.
Stemware holders
Use the stemware holders (attached to the cup shelf) to
keep water goblets, wine glasses, etc., in place and
prevent damage during washing.
Light item clips
You can hold lightweight plastic items like cups, lids, or
bowls in place during washing with the Light Item clips.
You can move a clip anywhere in the rack.
To move a clip
1. Pull the clip up and off the tine.
2. Reposition the clip on another tine.
Loading the Bottom Rack
The bottom rack is designed for plates, pans, casseroles,
and utensils. Items with cooked-on or dried-on food
should be loaded with soiled surfaces facing inward to the
spray. (See recommended loading patterns shown.)
NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary
from the drawings shown.
Mixed load
Do not load glasses, cups, or plastic items in the
bottom rack. Load small items in the bottom rack only
if they are secured in place.
Load plates, soup bowls, etc., between prongs and
facing inward to the spray.
Overlap the edges of plates for large loads.
Load soup, cereal, and serving bowls in the rack in a
variety of ways depending upon their size and shape.
Load bowls securely between the rows of prongs. Do
not nest bowls because the spray will not reach all
surfaces.
Utensil load
Load cookie sheets, cake pans, and other large items
at the sides and back. Loading such items in front can
keep the water spray from reaching the detergent
dispenser.
Secure heavily soiled cookware face down in the rack.
Make sure pot handles and other items do not stop
rotation of the spray arm(s). The spray arm(s) must
move freely.
Do not load items between the bottom rack and the
side of the dishwasher tub. You can block the water
inlet opening.
