Whirlpool DU1145 Dishwasher User Manual

Load plastic items so the force of the spray does not move
them during the cycle.
To avoid chipping, do not let stemware touch other items.
Small bowls, pans, and other utensils can be placed in the
top rack. Load bowls in the center section for best stability.
Cup shelves (on some models)
Fold down the extra shelf on the left-hand or right-hand side of
the top rack to hold additional cups, stemware or long items such
as utensils and spatulas.
NOTE: The features on your dishwasher may vary from those
shown below.
Fold-down tines (on some models)
The row of tines on the left-hand and right-hand sides of the top
rack can be folded down to make room for a variety of dishes.

2. Gently push the tine out of the holder.
3. Lay the tines down, toward the center of the rack.

lids, or bowls in place during washing.
