Accessories The inserts and racks can be added or removed to suit your individual needs. If you have the double DishDrawer® model, some of the accessories are interchangeable between the two drawers. For example you can combine the two Mega Racks into one drawer and wash all cups and glasses, leaving the other drawer for plates and larger items.
Page 17
Cup Racks Cups, glasses and kitchen utensils can be placed on the left and right hand side of the cup racks. For best performance ensure there are no large items below, blocking the wash water from reaching the cup racks. Wine glasses can be supported on the cup racks if used in conjunction with the Mega Rack.
Loading Wash water for the DishDrawer® comes from the spray arm which is situated inside the base of the drawer. The spray arm rotates, providing wash water to all areas of the wash compartment so care needs to be taken when loading dishes to ensure there is enough space and room for the water to reach all areas, particularly the cup racks.
