Loading and place settings.
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 primarily for glasses, cups, and
saucers. However, other items such as pots, pans,
and plates may be placed in the upper rack. This is
also a secure place for dishwasher-safe plastic items.
The upper rack can be used for odd sized utensils.
Sauce pans, mixing bowls, and other similarly shaped
items should be placed face down for best wash
performance. Ensure small plastic items are secure
so that they cannot fall into the heater at the bottom
of the dishwasher, potentially damaging the item.
On some models, the upper rack may be adjusted
to accommodate larger items. To adjust the upper
rack, fully extend the upper rack and remove the two
plastic end caps on the front of the rails. Remove the
upper rack. Select the set of rollers on the side of the
rack that provides the desired height, and reinstall
the upper rack by guiding the rack rails between the
appropriate set of rollers. With the rack reinstalled,
replace the two plastic end caps, ensuring the snap
is properly engaged. Failure to properly engage
the end caps may result in the rack falling from the
dishwasher.
To add flexibility in loading, the utility shelf (on some
models) may be placed in the up or down position.
The shelf may also be used to secure stemware such
as wine glasses. Because these stemware items
come in various sizes, slowly push the rack in to
ensure the items do not bump into the edges of the
dishwasher, which may cause damage to the items.
It is important to ensure that items do not protrude
through the bottom of the rack or silverware basket
(on some models) where they will block the rotation
of the middle spray arm. This could result in noise
during operation and/or poor wash performance.
Check to make sure
that no items will block
rotation of the wash
arms.
