Loading The Dishwasher Racks - GE Profile GSD4610 Owner's Manual

Loading the dishwasher racks.

For best dishwashing results, follow these loading guidelines. Features and
appearance of racks and silverware baskets may vary from your model.
Appearance of upper rack and lower rack wash
towers will vary.

Upper Rack
The upper rack is for glasses, cups and saucers.
Cups and glasses fit best along the sides. This is
also a secure place for dishwasher-safe plastics.
The cup shelf (on some models) may be placed in
the up or down position to add flexibility. A wine
glass holder (on some models) secures wine glasses
at an angle for best washability. Because wine
glasses come in various sizes, after loading, slowly
push in the rack to make sure they will clear the
top of the dishwasher.
The upper rack is good for all kinds of odd-
shaped utensils. Saucepans, mixing bowls and
other items should be placed face down.
Secure larger dishwasher-safe plastics over two fingers
when possible.
Make sure small plastic items are secure so they can't fall
onto the heating element.
The Wash Tower
Keep the 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.
A second wash tower is located in the top rack.
Water from the wash tower in the lower rack
shoots up into this wash tower and out the
openings at the top. When loading items around
this wash tower do not block the top openings.
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.
