Preparing and Loading Dishes  

(continued)

Lower Rack Option (available select
models)

LIGHT WASH—LOWER RACK option can be
used for lightly soiled pots and pans, large bowls,
casseroles, and odd shaped items when you do
not have a full load. This option is perfect for those
leftover items you usually have to wash by hand.

Loading the Bottom Rack

Features and appearance of racks and silverware
basket may vary from your model.

The lower rack is best for plates, saucers, bowls,
and cookware. Large items should be placed along
the edge so they do not block the spray arm
rotation. For best results, place bowls, casseroles,
and sauce pans with soiled surface facing down or
toward the center. Tilt slightly for better drainage.
Make sure tall items do not block spray arm
rotation.
Be sure pan handles do not protrude through the
bottom of the rack and block the spray arm
rotation.

Fold-down Tines  (available select
models)

The fold-down tines in the lower rack make easy
loading for those extra large and hard-to-fit items.
The tines may be left up for normal use or folded
down for more flexible loading. Fold down for more
space to load large pots or pans.

12 place settings standard loading pattern.

10 place settings standard loading pattern.

Utility Tray

The utility tray can be used in the upper rack or
lower rack to hold large utensils, juice cups, baby
bottles, etc. (See page 3 for recommended
placement).
