KitchenAid 8573754 Use & Care Manual page 7

Place items so open ends face down for cleaning and
draining.
China, crystal, and other delicate items must not touch each
other during dishwasher operation. Damage may occur.
Load small items in the rack only if they are secured in place.
Load plastic items so the force of the spray does not move
them during the cycle. Only plastic items marked
"dishwasher safe" are recommended.
To avoid chipping, do not let stemware touch other items.
Small bowls, pans, and other utensils can be placed in the
rack.
Load plates, soup bowls, etc., between tines.
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 tines. Do not nest bowls
because the spray will not reach all surfaces.
Load cake pans and other large items at the sides and back.
Loading such items in front can keep the water spray from
reaching the rinse aid dispenser.
Secure heavily soiled cookware face down in the rack.
NOTE: Do not load items between the rack and the detergent
dispenser because they might block the water inlet opening
located at the base of the dispenser.
Fold-Down Cup Shelves
Fold down the cup shelves on the sides of the drawer to hold
additional cups, stemware or long items such as utensils and
spatulas. Fold up when you need room for larger items in the
main rack.
®
SURE-HOLD light item clips
The light item clips hold lightweight plastic items such as cups,
lids, or bowls in place during washing.
To move a clip
1. Pull the clip up and off the tine.
2. Reposition the clip on another tine.
SURE-HOLD ® base rack and removable rack inserts
The SURE-HOLD ® removable rack inserts (see illustration below)
allow you to adjust the rack for the type of load you are washing.
You can remove one or more of the inserts to customize the rack
for a particular load. This is useful when washing a variety of
dishes, pots and pans, or roasters.
NOTE: The removable inserts are not designed to be lifted out of
the drawer while loaded with dishes.
