Loading

Upper Rack

Glasses, cups, stemware, light-weight plastics, plates,
bowls, pans, long-handled utensils etc. can be loaded
in this rack. Do not load glasses over the tines.
The Stack-Rack (select
models) on the right side
of the upper rack folds
up or down for loading
flexibility. Fold it down to
hold long-handled
knives, spatulas and spoons or short items like cups or
juice glasses. Fold it up for taller items like glasses,
bowls, plates, etc.
The edge of the Stack-
Rack (select models) is
designed to hold
stemware in place. Taller
stemware will fit better on
the right side as the upper
rack is deeper on this side.
The Cup Clips (select
models) located in the
center of the upper rack
can be used to hold
light-weight plastic items,
cooking utensils, knives,
etc. in place. Clip the
item between the tine
and the clip.

Lower Rack

A variety of items such as dinner plates, mixing bowls,
pots and pans and baking dishes can be loaded in this
rack.
Wider items can be placed along the left side and
back of this rack.
Utensil Basket
Removable Standard Utensil Basket
(style may vary)
For best cleaning results, prevent
items from nesting together by
placing some items in the basket
with handles up and some with
handles down. On models with

slotted covers, load knives, handles up and spoons
and forks handles down.
Be sure that thin, finely pointed items do not extend
through the basket. This could block the lower wash
arm.
Auxiliary Basket
Use this supplemental
basket in the upper or
lower rack for loading
miscellaneous items and
utensils. This is also a safe
place to load sharp knives
and pointed items.
