PREPARING AND LOADING DISHES

Top Rack

The TOP RACK option can be used to wash 

a wide assortment of items when you don’t 

have a full load.  Also, when the upper rack 

fi lls up with glasses and the lower rack is still 

empty, you don’t have to wait anymore for 

clean glasses.
STEMWARE HOLDER/CUPSHELF not 

available on all models.

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.
