Extra-capacity fold-down shelves (on some models)
Fold down the extra shelf on the right side of 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 such as 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.
Adjustable 3-position top rack (on some models)
You can raise or lower the top rack to fit tall items in either the top
or bottom rack. Two adjusters are located on each side of the top
rack. Each adjuster has 3 preset positions. The high and low
positions are marked on the adjuster.
To adjust the top rack
1.
Hold the top rack with one hand near the adjuster.
2.
With the other hand, pull out the top of the adjuster.
3.
Raise or lower the rack to one of the preset positions.
4.
Release the adjuster.
Repeat the steps for the remaining adjusters as needed. The 4
adjusters can be raised or lowered separately or together. The
top rack does not have to be level.
Loading 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.
Do not cover spray tower. See arrow.
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.
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 and
silverware basket.
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 because they might block the water inlet
opening.
NOTE:
If you have removed the bottom rack for unloading or
cleaning, replace it with the bumpers in front.
