Cup shelves
Fold down the extra shelves on the right side of the top rack to
hold additional cups, or long items such as utensils and spatulas.
The bottom rack is designed for plates, pans, casseroles, and
utensils. Many items, up to 13 in. (33 cm) tall, fit in the bottom
rack. (See recommended loading patterns shown.)
NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the
drawings shown.
Flexible tines (on some models)
The row of tines on the left and right sides of the top rack can be
adjusted to make room for a variety of dishes.
To adjust the flexible tines
1. Grasp the tip of the tine that is in the tine holder.
2. Gently push the tine out of the holder.
3. Lay the tines down, toward the center of the rack.
No-flip clips (on some models)
The no-flip clips hold lightweight plastic items such as cups, lids,
or bowls in place during washing.
10 place setting
• Do not load glasses, cups, or lightweight plastic items in the
bottom rack. Load small items in the bottom rack only if they
are secured in place.
• Load plates, soup bowls, etc., between tines.
• Overlap the edges of plates for large loads.
• 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 tines. Do not nest bowls
because the spray will not reach all surfaces.
To move a clip
1. Pull the clip up and off the tine.
2. Reposition the clip on another tine.
12 place setting
• Load cookie sheets, cake pans, and other large items at the
sides and back. Loading such items in front can keep the
water spray from reaching the detergent dispenser.
• Secure heavily soiled cookware face down in the rack.
• Make sure pot handles and other items do not stop rotation
of the spray arm(s). The spray arm(s) must move freely.
• Do not load items between the bottom rack and the side of
the dishwasher tub because they might block the water inlet
opening.
NOTE: If you have removed the bottom rack for unloading or
cleaning, replace it with the bumpers in front,
