Overlap the edges of plates for large loads.

Loading Bottom Rack

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.
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.
FLIP AWAY™ plate holders (on some models)
You can fold up all, or part, of the row of V-shaped flexible tines
at the back of the bottom rack. This is useful when washing a
variety of dishes, pots and pans, or roasters.
Mixed load
Place the entire row of tines in the down
position when washing a large number of
plates.
Fold away the plate tines to hold many bowls.
Fold away the entire row of both plate and
bowl tines to make room for larger pans or
roasters.
