Loading The Dishwasher Racks - GE GSD3200 Series Owner's Manual

Loading the dishwasher racks.

For best dishwashing results, follow these loading guidelines. Features and
appearance of racks and silverware baskets may vary from your model.

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.
A wine glass holder (on some models) secures
wine glasses at an angle for best washability.
Because wine glasses come in various sizes, after
loading, slowly push in the rack to make sure they
will clear the top of the dishwasher.
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.
Check to make sure that tall items will not block the
rotation of the top wash arm.
The 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.
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.
