Loading the Top Rack
The top rack is designed for cups, glasses, and smaller
items. (See recommended loading patterns shown.)
NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary
from the drawings shown.
10 place setting load
■
Place items so open ends face down for cleaning and
draining.
■
Load glasses and cups in top rack only. The bottom
rack is not designed for glasses and cups. Damage can
occur.
12 place setting load
■
Place cups and glasses in the rows between prongs.
Placing them over the prongs can lead to breakage.
Cup and glass load
■
China, crystal, and other delicate items must not touch
each other during dishwasher operation. Damage may
occur.
■
Load plastic items in the top rack only. Only plastic
items marked “dishwasher safe” are recommended.
■
Load plastic items so the force of the spray does not
move them during the cycle.
■
To avoid chipping, do not let stemware touch other
items.
■
Small bowls, pans, and other utensils can be placed in
the top rack. Load bowls in the center section for best
stability.
Cup shelf
Fold down the extra shelf on the right side of the top rack
to hold additional cups, or long items such as utensils and
spatulas.
Divided tines
The row of tines on the right side of the top rack can be
adjusted to make room for a variety of dishes. The tine
adjusters have teal colored tips.
To adjust the front half
1. Grasp the tip of the tine that is in the tine holder.
2. Gently push the tine out of the tine holder.
3. Move the tines to the left to make room for larger
dishes. Move the tines to the right to wedge plastic or
other lightweight items against the side of the rack.
To adjust the back half
Push the tines down gently toward the center of the rack.
