HOW TO LOAD YOUR DISHWASHER
15
For best dishwashing results follow these loading guidelines. Features and
appearance of racks and silverware baskets may vary from your model.
The upper rack is best for glasses, cups and saucers.
Cups and glasses fit best along the sides. This is also
a secure place for dishwasher-safe plastics.
A cup shelf (on some models) may be placed in the up
or down position to add flexibility. Load the bottom
row first, then fold the shelf down and load the top row.
The upper rack is good for all kinds of odd-shaped
utensils. Saucepans, mixing bowls and other items
should be placed face down.
NOTE:
• Secure larger dishwasher-safe plastics over two
fingers when possible.
• Make sure when loading, that small plastic items are
secured, so they can’t fall onto the heating element.
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 it or load tall things next to it.
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.
