Do not load glasses, cups, or 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.
1. Grasp the tip of the tine that is in the tine holder.
2. Gently pull the tine out of the tine holder.
3. Lay the row of tines down in the rack to make room for larger
dishes, bowls, pots, pans or roasters.
Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom rack or take
the basket out for loading on a counter or table.
NOTE: Unload or remove the basket before unloading the racks
to avoid spilling water droplets onto the silverware.
• Place small items such as baby bottle caps, jar lids, corncob
holders, etc., in a covered section. Close the cover to hold
small items in place.
!2 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.
Use suggested loading patterns, as shown, to increase
washability of your silverware. Load items using the slots with
the covers down to avoid silverware nesting.
This silverware basket can be separated and placed into the
bottom rack in several locations. Load silverware in all
sections or just one, depending upon your load.
If your silverware basket does not have covers or when
covers are up, mix items in each section of the basket with
some pointing up and some down to avoid nesting. Spray
cannot reach nested items.
IMPORTANT: Always load items (knives, skewers, etc.) pointing
down.
