Fold-down tines (on some models)
You can fold down one row of tines at the back of the bottom
rack.
1. Grasp the tip of the tine that is in the tine holder.
2. Gently pull the tine out of the tine holder.
3. Lay the row of tines down in the rack to make room for larger
dishes, bowls, pots, pans or roasters.
Utensil caddy (on some models)
Use the utensil caddy to hold wooden spoons, spatulas, and
similar items.
The utensil caddy has three hooks. (See arrows.) For best wash
performance, hook the utensil caddy in the right rear corner of
the lower rack. You can also hook it in the left front corner.
NOTE: Spin the top spray arm. Be sure items in the utensil caddy
do not stop the rotation of the spray arm.
Utensil rack (on some models)
Use the utensil rack to hold specialty cooking items (wooden
spoons, spatulas, and similar items).
The utensil rack lies on the two supports in the right-hand lower
rack. Load the rack tray while it is in the dishwasher or remove it
for loading on a counter or table top.
When not in use, the utensil rack may remain in the dishwasher
and tilt out of the way.
You can also remove the utensil rack from the dishwasher. Swing
the two supports out of the way for easier bottom rack loading.
Loading Silverware Basket
Load the silverware basket while it is in the dishwasher or take
the basket out for loading on a counter or table top.
NOTE: Unload or remove the basket before unloading the racks
to avoid spilling water droplets onto the silverware.
Style 1 (on some models)
Mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing up
and some down to avoid nesting. Spray cannot reach nested
items.
IMPORTANT: Always load items (knives, skewers, etc.) pointing
down.
NOTES:
Do not load silver or silver-plated silverware with stainless
steel. These metals can be damaged by contact with each
other during washing.
Some foods (such as salt, vinegar, milk products, fruit juices,
etc.) can pit or corrode silverware. Run a rinse cycle if you do
not have a full load to wash immediately.
