Lower Rack - GE CDT725SSFSS Owner's Manual

Loading the dishwasher (cont.).
For best dishwashing results, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of racks and silverware
baskets may vary from your model.

Lower Rack

The lower rack is best used for plates, saucers and cookware
items. Large items, such as broiler pans and baking racks should
go along the sides of the rack. If necessary, oversized glasses
and mugs can be placed in the lower rack to maximize loading
flexibility. Plates, saucers and similar items should be placed
between the tines in the direction that allows the item to remain
secure in the rack.
NOTE: Do not load large items in the lower rack where they may
block the wash jets from rinsing out the detergent dispenser.
The lower rack fold down tines (on some models) can be
adjusted to different upright angles or placed flat to provide
flexibility for hard-to-fit or extra-large items.

The direction in which you load dishes in your lower rack can be
configured to match your loading preference. The tine direction
for all tines in the lower rack can be switched to allow dishes to
face as shown in Figure A or Figure B.
Figure A
The reversible tine blocks (on some
models) are designed to allow
greater flexibility in loading dishes.
The direction of the tine blocks can
be changed to match preferred
loading direction. To adjust the tine
block direction, remove the clips
securing the tine blocks to the racks
by pulling up on the tab, then gently
flex the retaining wire from the
center to unseat the tine block from
the lower rack. The tine block may
be turned in the opposite direction
to reverse loading direction. Secure
the tine block to the rack using the
same process and be sure to snap
the clips back in place.

To change the direction of the fold down tines, lower the tines
then pull away from the bar clips that secure the tines to the
rack and remove. Reverse the direction of the tines, orienting
the handle on the opposite side of the rack. Reattach the tines
to the bar clips by pushing the tines back until they click in
place. The indexer will also need to be switched to the opposite
side of the dishwasher. To remove the indexer, simply slide it the
in the direction labeled "unlock." Then, align the indexer with the
rack on the other side and slide in the direction that says "lock"
in order to reattach the indexer to the rack.
IMPORTANT: It is important to ensure that items do not protrude
through the bottom of the rack or the silverware basket where
they will block the rotation of the lower spray arm. Also, ensure
that large plates, pots, or tall items don't hit the mid spray arm.
