Loading the dishwasher racks
For best dishwashing results, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of racks and silverware
baskets may vary from your model
Upper Rack
The upper rack is for glasses,cups and
saucers. Cups and glasses fit best along
the sides.This is also a secure place for
dishwasher-safe plastics. The upper rack is
good for all kinds of odd-shaped utensils.
Saucepans,mixing bowls and other items
should be placed face down.
Secure larger dishwasher-safeplastics over
two fingers when possible.
Make sure small plastic items are secure so
they can't fall onto the heating element.
Lower Rack
When loading the lower rock, do not load
large platters or trays in the front right
comer. They may prevent detergent from
circulating during the wash cycle.
The lower rack is best used for plates,
saucers and cookware. Large items such as
broiler pans and racks should go along the
sides. Load platters, pots and bowls along
the sides,in corners or in the back. The
soiled side of items should face the center
of the rack.
