USING THE DISHW
ASHER
Loading
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.
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.
Lower Rack
The lower rack is best used for plates,
saucers and cookware. Large items such
as broiler pans and racks should go along
the sides. Load platters, pots and bowls
along the sides, in corners or in the back.
The soiled side of items should face the
center of the rack.
When loading the lower rack, do not
load large platters or trays in the
front right corner. They may prevent
detergent from circulating during the
wash cycle.
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 the wash tower or load tall
things next to it.
Be sure items don’t fall through rack and
block rotation of the spray arm.
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.
Don’t block the upper rack wash tower.
Do not cover upper rack tower
(not present on all models)
Tower
Silverware Basket
Put flatware in the removable basket
with fork and knife handles up to protect
your hands. Place spoons in the basket
with handles down. Mix knives, forks
and spoons so they don’t nest together.
Distribute evenly. Small plastic items, such
as measuring spoons and lids from small
containers, should go in the bottom of the
silverware basket with silverware on top
Don’t let any item extend through
bottom of silverware basket and rack,
to ensure proper function of spray arm.
