Loading the Racks
Dishwasher
Upper Rack
Features and appearance of racks and
silverware basket may vary from your model.
Although the upper rack is for glasses, cups and
saucers, pots and pans can be placed in this
rack for effective cleaning. Cups and glasses fit
best along the sides and should be placed open-
end down. This is also a secure place for
dishwasher plastics.
The utility shelf (on some models) may be placed
in the up or down position to add flexibility.
A wine glass holder (on some models) secures
wine glasses for best washability. Because wine
glasses come in various sizes, after loading,
slowly push in the rack to make sure they will
clear the top of the dishwasher.
The upper rack is good for all kinds of
odd-shaped utensils. Saucepans, mixing bowls
and other items should be placed face down.
Fold-down tines (on some models) provide
flexibility for extra-large and hard-to-fit items.
Secure larger dishwasher-safe plastics over
2 tines when possible.
Make sure small plastic items are secure so they
can’t fall onto the heater.
Be sure that items do not protrude through the
bottom of the rack and block rotation of the
middle spray arm. This will result in poor wash
performance for items in the upper rack.
Check to make sure that no items in the lower
rack will block rotation of the wash arm mounted
under the upper rack.
