Loading the Lower Basket
We recommend that you place large items which are most difficult to clean into the lower basket:
pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls, as shown in the figure to the right.
It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the side of the racks in order to avoid blocking
the rotation of the top spray arm.
Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed top down.
Deep pots should be slanted to allow water to flow out.
The bottom basket feature fold down tine rows so that larger or more pots and pans can be loaded.
Folding spikes
For better stacking of pots and pans, the spikes can be folded down as
show in the picture right.

*** ***: The upper rack has side flaps (pictured at left
above basket). There are 4 (2 on each side). These can be
adjusted into 2 positions = position 1 (high) and position 2 (low).
note
To move the flaps between these positions, locate the large hinges
clip each flap to the upper rack. There are two of these at either end
of each flap. Gently pull both clips off the wire rack and move the
flap to the desired position. Be careful if you have long fingernails!
Position 1
The upper position will accommodate items such as glass tumblers (placed beneath flap) and wine
glasses. Wine glasses can be placed upside down so that the neck rests in the grooves at side of flap
with the base of the glass facing upward.
Position 2
When the flaps are moved to the lower position, they can be used to hold additional tumblers, cups
and mugs. Always check that you are only placing items on the flaps that will clear the ceiling height
of your dishwasher when you push the rack back in. Be particularly careful with long-stemmed
glassware such as champagne glasses breakage hazard!
