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.
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.
Do not cover spray tower. See arrow.
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 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.
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. You can block the water
inlet opening.
NOTE: If you have removed the bottom rack for unloading
or cleaning, replace it with the bumpers in front.
Loading the
Silverware Basket
Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom rack 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.
Style 1
(on some models)
Style 2
(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 sharp items (knives, skewers,
forks, 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.
