Loading the lower rack
The lower rack is designed
for plates,
pans,
casseroles,
and utensils.
• Load items with cooked-on
or dried-on
food
in the lower rack with soiled surfaces
facing
in toward the spray.
• For maximum
capacity and stability
of an
all plate load, stagger
or overlap small
plates with large ones.
• Load plates
side to side along with pots,
pans,
and large cookware,
as shown.
• Racks with teal-colored
tips can be
adjusted
for different
loads.
Utensil load
• Load soup, cereal, and serving bowls in the
rack in a variety of ways depending upon
their size and shape. Load bowls securely
between the rows of prongs. Do not nest
bowls because the spray won't reach their
surfaces.
• Do not put small items in the lower rack if
they are not secured in place.
• Do not load items between the bottom rack
and the side of the dishwasher tub. This
can block the water inlet opening.
Mixed load

cup shelf
Fold down the extra shelf on the left side of

cups or utensils.
