3rd Rack (on some models)
The 3rd rack is the recommended location for
silverware and has 2 trays:
The utensil tray holds serving spoons, chop
sticks, spatulas, cutlery, whisks, etc. Be sure
not to overlap the utensil heads.
The silverware tray holds
individually in slots and is positioned by
alternating the heads of the silverware.
These trays may be removed to allow for
easier loading and unloading, changing the
side that the trays are on, or to create extra
space for the upper rack.
To remove a tray, fully extended the 3rd rack,
grasp both the front and back handles on one
tray and gently lift the tray out of the rack.
To replace the tray, grasp both handles and
gently place it on the rack so that the deepest
part is towards the center of the rack.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
Do not place cutlery of different materials
next to each other in the 3rd rack. Doing
show may cause discoloration of the
cutlery.
The trays are only meant to be used with a
GE 3rd rack dishwasher to hold silverware,
cooking utensils, and other small items.
Using the trays for any other purpose could
result in damage to the trays or damage to
anything interacting with the trays.
Ensure that the 3rd rack is fully closed
before shutting the dishwasher door.
Shutting the door with the rack partially
extended could cause damage to the
dishwasher.
