To add flexibility in loading, the utility shelf (on 

some models) may be placed in the up or down 

position or unfolded and placed in the lower 

unfolded 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.

The upper rack allows 2” of adjustment up or down 

to accommodate large items. The upper rack may 

be lowered by pushing the long flaps on each side of 

the rack. This will allow you to  lower the rack (see fig. 

Upper Rack). To raise the rack, lift up on the rack until 

the rack locks in place.

CAUTION:

A loaded upper 

rack may be heavier than anticipated. To 

prevent minor injury or damage to the 

contents, do not raise or lower the upper 

rack after the rack is loaded.

The fold down tines (on some models) provide 

flexibility for extra-large and hard-to-fit items. 

The tine rows can be adjusted to a vertical or 

lay-down position.
