Midea MDF18A1AWW User Manual page 15

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 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.
IMPORTANT:
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 8 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.
