at opposite corners and slide apart.
Lower Rack
The lower rack is best used for plates,
saucers and cookware. Large items such as
broiler pans and baking racks should go
along the left-hand side. Load platters, pots
and bowls along the sides, in corners or in
the back. The soiled side of items should
face the center of the rack. If necessary,
oversized glasses and mugs can be placed
in the lower rack to maximize loading
flexibility.
Removing the Upper Rack
You can remove the upper rack to allow
space for large items in the lower rack.
To remove the upper rack:
1
Press thumb tab out and remove the
front end caps on each side of the rail.
2
Pull the rack straight out and
off the rails.
3
Replace the end caps.
4
Push the rails all the way back into
the dishwasher.
Silverware Basket
To load flatware, simply push the adjustable
handle to either side. Put flatware in the
removable basket with fork and knife
handles up to protect your hands. 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 should go in the
bottom of the silverware basket with the
silverware on top.
The one-piece silverware basket (on some
models) can be placed in the front, right
side or back of the lower rack.
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.
Fold-down tines (on some models) provide
flexibility for extra-large and hard-to-fit
items. The tines may be left in the up
position or folded down to customize the
lower rack.
5
Slide the shower nozzle attachment
(located in use and care bag) over the
spout.
6
Then fill the lower rack and begin
your cycle.
NOTE: Don't forget to remove the shower nozzle
attachment before you replace the upper rack.
A variety of options is available regarding
the three-piece silverware basket (on some
models) in your dishwasher. The complete
basket is designed to fit on the right side of
the lower rack. Additionally, each end of
the basket is removable to add loading
flexibility to accommodate flatware and
lower rack capacity needs.
The lids of both end and middle baskets
(on some models) can be closed to contain
small items. Long items can be placed on
the utility shelf in the upper rack.
