Upper Rack
The upper rack is for glasses, cups and
saucers. Cups and glasses fit best along
the sides. This is also a secure place for
dishwasher-safe plastics. The upper rack is
good for all kinds of odd-shaped utensils.
Saucepans, mixing bowls and other items
should be placed face down.
Secure larger dishwasher-safe plastics over two
fingers when possible.
Make sure small plastic items are secure so they
can’t fall onto the heating element.
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.
Wash Tower
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.
Lower Rack
When loading the lower rack, do not load large
platters or trays in the front right corner. They
may prevent detergent from circulating during
the wash cycle.
The lower rack is best used for plates,
saucers and cookware. Large items such as
broiler pans and racks should go along the
sides. Load platters, pots and bowls along
the sides, in corners or in the back. The
soiled side of items should face the center
of the rack.
Silverware Basket
Put flatware in the removable basket with
fork and knife handles up to protect your
hands. Place spoons in the basket with
handles down. Mix knives, forks and
spoons so they don’t nest together.
Distribute evenly. Small plastic items, such
as measuring spoons and lids from small
containers, should go in the bottom of the
silverware basket with silverware on top.
A security cell cover
(on some models)
can be lowered to
either side to secure
lightweight items
from the effects of
the vigorous wash
action.
For best dishwashing results, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of racks and silverware baskets
may vary from your model.
Don’t let any
item extend
through bottom.
Loading the dishwasher racks.
