Loading Dishes - Frigidaire 650 series Use & Care Manual

Preparing and Loading Dishes (continued)
Loading the Bottom Rack
Features and appearance of racks and
silverware basket may vary from your model
Make sure tall items do not block spray arm
rotation.
Place plates and platters so that they do not
touch.
Place bowls, casseroles and sauce pans with
the soiled surface facing down or toward the
center. Tilt slightly for better drainage.
Be sure pan handles do not protrude through
the bottom of the rack and block the spray arm
rotation.
Loading the Silverware Basket
Mix spoons, forks and knives to prevent
nesting. Mixing items gives better cleaning
and drying.
For safety, load sharp knives and forks with
handles up.
Be sure nothing protrudes through bottom of
basket or rack to block the spray arm.
Do not mix silver and stainless to avoid
damaging the silver finish.
Fold-down Tines
(available select models)
The fold-down tines in
the lower rack
make easy
loading of
those extra
large and
hard-to-fit
items. The
tines may be
left up for
normal use or
folded down
for more
flexible
loading.
Some models have a covered section to hold
small items like measuring spoons, small
plastic items, etc. Close cover to keep items in
place.
