Loading The Lower Basket; Loading The Silverware Basket - Kenmore 587.1463 Series Use & Care Manual

Preparing and Loading Dishes
The upper basket has been designed for
small plates, mugs, glasses, and plastic items
marked "dishwasher safe", etc. For best
results, place the bowls, cups, glasses with
soiled surface facing down or toward the
center. Tilt slightly for better drainage. Load
small plates and bowls in two half rows, so
that the front of each plate faces the back
of the plate in front of it, and the open sides
of the plates at the center of the dishwasher
face each other.
When loading dishes, pull the upper basket
out sufficiently so you can load it without
striking the counter.
WARNING
Make sure the loaded dishes do not interfere
with the rotation of the spray arm located at
the bottom of the upper basket. (Check this
by rotating the spray arm by hand.)

Loading the Lower Basket

Features and appearance of racks and
silverware basket as shown may vary from
your model.
Standard 10 place setting for lower basket.
The bottom basket is designed to load plates,
soup bowls, plates, saucers and cookware.
• The adjustable basket space will allow you
to load items with a maximum height of
11 inches.
• The fold-down tines in the bottom basket
make it easy to load those extra large
and hard-to-fit items. The tines may be
left up for normal use or folded down for
more flexible loading. Fold down for more
space to load large pots or pans.
Load your plates into the dishwasher in two
half rows, so that the front of each plate
faces the back of the plate in front of it, and
the open sides of the plates at the center of
the dishwasher face each other.
Large items should be turned so that the
inside faces downward. Load large items
such as pans and pots into the dishwasher
so their open sides face downwards. We
recommend loading cups, stemware, and
small plates into the upper basket.
Larger items should be placed along the
edge so they do not interfere with the spray
arm rotation. Check to ensure that they do
not prevent the detergent dispenser from
opening.
WARNING
Make sure the loaded dishes do not interfere
with the rotation of the spray arm located at
the bottom of the upper basket. (Check this
by rotating the spray arm by hand.)
