from the drawings shown.

You can fold down one or both rows of tines at the back of
the bottom rack.

Do not load glasses, cups, or plastic items in the
bottom rack. Load small items in the bottom rack only
if they are secured in place.
Load plates, soup bowls, etc., between prongs and
facing inward to the spray.
Overlap the edges of plates for large loads.
Load soup, cereal, and serving bowls in the rack in a
variety of ways depending upon their size and shape.
Load bowls securely between the rows of prongs. Do
not nest bowls because the spray will not reach all
surfaces.

1. Grasp the tip of the tine that is in the tine holder.
2. Gently pull the tine out of the tine holder.
3. Lay the row of tines down in the rack to make room for
larger dishes, bowls, pots, pans or roasters.
Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom rack or
take the basket out for loading on a counter or table.
NOTE: Unload or remove the basket before unloading the
racks to avoid spilling water droplets on the silverware.
•
Place small items like baby bottle caps, jar lids, corn
cob holders, etc., in the section(s) with hinged cover(s).
Close the cover to hold small items in place.
Load cookie sheets, cake pans, and other large items
at the sides and back. Loading such items in front can
keep the water spray from reaching the detergent
dispenser and silverware basket.
• Secure heavily soiled cookware face down in the rack.
•
Make sure pot handles and other items do not stop
rotation of the spray arm(s). The spray arm(s) must
move freely.
•
Do not load items between the bottom rack and the
side of the dishwasher tub. You can block the water
inlet opening.
NOTE: If you have removed the bottom rack for unloading
or cleaning, replace it with the bumpers in front.
This silverware basket can be separated and placed
into the bottom rack in several locations. Load
silverware in all sections or just one, depending upon
your load.
Mix items in each section of the basket with some
pointing up and some down to avoid nesting. Spray
cannot reach nested items.
