Preparing and Loading the Dishware
Check the
Dishware Materials
section of this
manual if you are unsure about an item’s
dishwasher suitability.
Load only dishwasher-safe items into the
dishwasher.
Load items so that water can reach every part of
every item.
Place pots, pans, cups, bowls, and glasses
upside-down in the racks.
Separate items of dissimilar metals.
NOTE:
Make sure items do not protrude through
the bottom of the racks and block the spray arms.
Top Rack Accessories
RACK
MATIC
™ Top Rack Height Adjustment
The top rack can be lowered to accommodate
large items in the top rack, and raised to make
room for large items in the bottom rack.
To lower the top rack:
1. Pull the top rack
out of the
dishwasher
until it stops
rolling.
2. Press the
Rack
Matic™
handles inward
as shown in
Figure 1 and let
the rack drop.
Preparing the Dishware
Do not pre-wash items having loosely-attached
soiling.
Remove large food particles, bones, seeds,
toothpicks, and excessive grease.
Items having burned-on or hard, stuck-on soiling
may require soaking and hand-scouring.

To raise the top rack:
1. Pull the top rack out of the dishwasher until it
stops rolling.
2. Grasp the top of the rack above the
RACK
MATIC™ handles and pull it upward as
shown in
Figure 2
until the
RACK
MATIC™
handles lock
the rack into

(you do not
need to
press the
RACK
MATIC™
handles in order raise the rack).
NOTE:
Before you push the top rack back
into the dishwasher, ensure that the rack
height is the same on both sides. Otherwise,
the dishwasher door will not shut and the top
rack spray arm will not connect to the water
circuit.
3. Push the top rack back into the dishwasher.
Flip Tines
Flip tines fold down to make loading the racks
easier in some
instances.
Grasp the tine
stem as shown
in Figure 3 and
fold the tines
