Preparing and Loading Dishes
Loading the Dishwasher
• Load racks so that large items do not
prevent the detergent dispenser from
opening.
• Check manufacturer's recommendations
before washing items in question.
Loading the Top Rack
Features and appearance of racks and
silverware basket may vary from your model.
The top rack is designed for cups, glasses,
small plates, saucers and bowls.
Load glasses in top rack only. Damage may
occur if placed in bottom rack.
Load plastic items in top rack only. Melting
may occur if placed in bottom rack.
Load items with open ends facing down for
better cleaning and draining.
Damage may occur if delicate items touch
each other during dishwasher operation.
Long-handled knives and utensils can be
placed in top rack.
Loading the Bottom Rack
Features and appearance of racks and
silverware basket may vary from your model.
The lower rack is best for plates, saucers,
bowls, and cookware. Large items should be
placed along the edge so they do not block
the spray arm extension. For the best results,
place bowls, casseroles, and sauce pans with
soiled surface facing down and toward the
center. Tilt items slightly for better drainage.
Make sure tall items will not block the
detergent dispenser's door.
Be sure pan handles do not protrude through
the bottom of the rack and block the spray
arm rotation.
