Preparing and Loading Dishes 

(continued)

Loading the Top Rack

Important: Do not cover the funnel when
loading.

The upper rack is designed for flexibility in
loading a wide variety of items including cups,
glasses, stemware, small plates, bowls, etc.

Load plastic items in top rack only. Melting may
occur if placed in bottom rack.

Be sure nothing protrudes through the bottom
of the rack to block rotation of middle spray
arm.

A fold-down cup shelf on the right side can be
used to load two levels of cups, juice glasses
and other short items. Stagger items on upper
level so that water can reach all inside
surfaces.

Upper Rack Option

SHORT WASH—UPPER RACK option can be
used to wash a wide assortment of items when
you don't have a full load. Also, when the upper
rack fills up with glasses and the lower rack is
still empty, you don't have to wait anymore for
clean glasses.

Do not cover funnel
