Loading the dishwasher racks.
For best dishwashing
results,
baskets may vary from your model.
Upper
Rack
follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance
of racks and silverware
Although the upper rack is for glasses,
cups and saucers, pots and pans can be
placed in this rack for effective cleaning.
Cups and glasses fit best along the sides.
This is also a secure place for dishwasher-
safe plastics.
The upper rack is good for all kinds of
odd-shaped utensils. Saucepans, mixing
bowls and other items should be placed
face down. Fold-down tines (on some
models) provide flexibilitg for extra-large
and hard-to-fit items.
Secure larger dishwasher-safe plastics over
2 tines when possible.
Make sure small plastic items are secure so
the_j can't fall onto the heater.
Be sure that items do not protrude through
the bottom of the rack and block rotation of
the middle sprog arm. This could result in
poor wash performance for items in the
upper rack.
Lower Rack
The lower rack is best used for plates,
saucers and cookware. Large items such
as broiler pans and baking racks should
go along the left-hand side. Load platters,
pots and bowls along the sides, in corners
or in the back. The soiled side of items
should face the center of the rack. If
necessary, oversized glasses and mugs
can be placed in the lower rack to
maximize loading flexibility.
Also, be careful not to let a portion of an
item such as a pot or dish handle extend
through the bottom rack. This could block
the wash arm and cause poor washing
results.
Fold-down tines (on some models) provide
flexibilitu for extra-large and hard-to-fit
items. The tines may be left in the up
position or folded down to customize
the lower rack.
Three-piece basket
To remove end baskets, grasp
the basket at opposite comers
and slide apart.
Silverware
Basket
To load flatware, simply push the
adjustable handle to either side. Put
flatware in the removable basket with
fork and knife handles up to protect your
hands. Place spoons in the basket with
handles down. Mix knives, forks and
spoons so they don't nest together.
Distribute evenly. Small plastic items,
such as measuring spoons and lids from
small containers should go in the bottom
of the silverware basket with the
silverware on top.
A variety of options is available regarding
the three-piece silverware basket in your
dishwasher. The complete basket is
designed to fit on the right side of the
lower rack. Additionally, each end of
the basket is removable to add loading
flexibility to accommodate flatware
and lower rack capacity needs.
The lids of both end and middle baskets
(on some models) can be closed to contain
small items. Long items can be placed
on the utility shelf in the upper rack.
