Loading the Top Rack
The top rack is designed for cups, glasses, and smaller items.
(See recommended loading patterns shown.)
NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the
drawings shown.
Cup and glass load
Mixed load
Place items so open ends face down for cleaning and
draining.
Load glasses and cups in top rack only. The bottom rack is
not designed for glasses and cups. Damage can occur.
Place cups and glasses in the rows between tines. Placing
them over the tines can lead to breakage and water spots.
To avoid chipping, do not let stemware touch other items.
China, crystal, and other delicate items must not touch each
other during dishwasher operation. Damage can occur.
Wedge lightweight items against one another or overlap them
with heavier dishes.
Load plastic items securely in the top rack only. Wash only
plastic items marked dishwasher safe.
Small bowls, pans, and other utensils can be placed in the
top rack.
Load bowls in the center section for best stability.
Extra-capacity fold-down shelves
(on some models)
Fold down the extra shelf on the top rack to hold additional cups,
or long items such as utensils and spatulas.
Light item clips (on some models)
The light-item clips hold lightweight plastic items like cups, lids,
or bowls in place during washing. 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.
Fold-down tines (on some models)
Fold the tines in the top rack all the way down to accommodate
larger items.
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 tines and facing
inward to the spray.
Overlap the edges of plates for large loads.
