Loading The Bottom Rack; Adding A Dish - Kenmore 587.1542 Series Use & Care Manual

Preparing and Loading Dishes
Fold-down Tines
The fold-down tines in the lower rack make easy loading
for those extra large and hard-to-fit items. The tines may
be left up for normal use or folded down for more flexible
loading. Fold down for more space to load large pots or
pans.

Loading the Bottom Rack

Features and appearance of racks and silverware basket
may vary from your model.
The bottom rack is best for plates, saucers, bowls, and
cookware. Large items should be placed along the edge
so they do not block the spray arm rotation. For best
results, place bowls, casseroles, and sauce pans with soiled
surface facing down or toward the center. Tilt slightly for
better drainage.
Make sure tall items do not block spray arm rotation.
Be sure pan handles do not protrude through the bottom
of the rack and block the spray arm rotation.

Loading the Silverware Basket
Load sharp items (knives, skewers, etc.) pointing
down. Failure to do so may result in injury.
Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom rack or
take the basket out for loading on a counter or table.
Place small items like baby bottle caps, jar lids, corn cob
holders, etc., in a covered section. Close the cover to hold
small items in place.
Features and appearance of racks and silverware basket
may vary from your model.
Use suggested loading patterns, as shown, to increase
washability of your silverware.
Be sure nothing protrudes through bottom of basket or
rack to block the spray arm.
Do not mix silver and stainless to avoid damaging the
silver finish.
The silverware basket can be separated and placed in
several locations in the bottom rack. Load silverware in all
sections or just one, depending on your load.
When covers are up, mix items in each section of the
basket with some pointing up and some down to avoid
nesting. Water spray cannot reach nested items.
