2. With the other hand, turn the knob clockwise to raise a side
of the rack.
3. Turn the knob counterclockwise to lower a side of the rack.
Repeat the steps for the remaining adjuster as needed. The 2
adjusters can be turned separately or together to raise or lower
the top rack. The top rack does not have to be level.
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.
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 tines. 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 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.
Fold-down tines
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.
Loading the Silverware Basket
Load the silverware basket while it is in the dishwasher or take
the basket out for loading on a counter or table.
NOTE: Unload or remove the basket before unloading the racks
to avoid spilling water droplets on the silverware.
To open the silverware basket
Unlock the latch.
NOTE: Be sure the cover is completely latched before pulling out
the bottom rack and before closing the dishwasher door.
Place small items like baby bottle caps, jar lids, corn cob
holders, etc., in the section(s) with hinged cover(s). Close the
cover to hold small items in place.
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 sharp items (knives, skewers, etc.)
pointing down.
