Lower Rack
(appearance will vary)
NOTE: Do not load large platters or trays
in front right corner of lower rack. They
may prevent detergent from circulating
in the wash cycle.
The lower rack is best used for plates,
saucers, and cookware. Large items such
as broiler pans and racks should go in the
lower rack along the edge. Load platters,
pots and bowls along the sides, in
corners, or in the back. For best washing
results, all items should be positioned
with the soiled side of the dish facing the
center of the rack.
Put flatware in the removable basket with
fork and knife handles up to protect your
hand& 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,
are not recommended for automatic
dishwashing. If placed in dishwasher, they
should go in bottom of utensil basket with
silverware on top.
Utensil basket
Keep center area clear in the
lower rack.
The Wash Tower rises through the center
of the lower rack during the wash and rinse
portions of the cycle. Don't block it or load
tall things next to it. 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.
CAUTION
Take out anything
that may fall or
extend through the
bottom of the utensil baskeL
