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 upper rack is
good for all kinds of odd-shaped utensils.
Saucepans, mixing bowls and other items
should be placed face down.
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.
Lower Rack
When loading the lower rack, do not load
large platters or trays in the front right
corner. They may prevent detergent from
circulating during the wash cycle.
Silverware Basket
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
silverware on top.
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.
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.
The lower rack is best used for plates,
saucers and cookware. Large items such as
broiler pans and racks should go along the
sides. 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.
Be sure items don't fall through rack and
block rotation of the spray arm.
