Loading The Bottom Rack - KitchenAid KUDP01TJ Use And Care Manual

Loading the Bottom Rack

The bottom rack is designed for plates, pans, casseroles, and
utensils. Many items, up to 13 in (33 cm) tall, fit in the bottom
rack. (See recommended loading patterns shown.)
NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the
drawings shown.
10 place setting
12 place setting
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 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.
Utensil load
8
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.
Mixed load
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.
FLEXI-FOLD DOWN™ flexible tines
You can fold down one or both rows of tines at the back of the
bottom rack.
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.
CULINARY CADDY™ utensil basket
Use the utensil basket to hold specialty cooking utensils (wooden
spoons, spatulas, and similar items), or overflow silverware items.
The basket hangs on the bottom rack in the right corner. Load
the basket while it is on the bottom rack or remove the basket for
loading on a counter or table.
NOTE: Spin the spray arms. Be sure items in the basket do not
stop the rotation of the spray arms.
