Your dishwasher should be loaded so that water can circulate freely and
reach every part of every item that is to be cleaned. When unloading the
dishwasher always unload the bottom rack first and then unload the upper
rack. This sequence of unloading will minimize the chance of water drops
from the upper rack falling on the dishes in the bottom rack. The silverware
basket of the dishwasher has a handle to allow easy removal of the basket to
your silverware drawer for unloading.
HOW TO LOAD YOUR DISHWASHER
• The upper rack is best for glasses, cups and saucers.
Two rows of cups can be washed when using the
folding shelf. Load the bottom row first, then fold
down the shelf and load the top row. Cups and
glasses fit best along the sides. This is the place for
dishwasher-safe plastics, too. Make sure small
plastic items are lodged in tightly so they can’t fall
onto the heating element. Arrange stemware so that
it cannot move easily. Don’t let the glasses touch
each other.
• Saucepans, mixing bowls and other small items
may be placed—face down—in this upper rack.
The upper rack is handy for all kinds of odd shapes.
Upper Rack Height Adjustment
The upper rack has two adjustable positions. The upper rack may be placed
in the upper position to provide more room for large items like platters to be
placed in the bottom rack—or—the upper rack may be placed in the lower
position to provide additional room for items such as tall glasses to be
placed in the upper rack.
To reposition the upper rack:
1. Empty upper rack and pull it partially out to
allow access to the latches at the front of the
roller channels.
2. Release the latches on both channels, left and
right, by flipping them towards the outside of
the dishwasher.
3. Pull the upper rack forward until rollers
are completely free of the channels.
4. Push channels back into dishwasher until they stop.
5. Reinsert upper rack.
6. With rollers within channels, close latches by flipping
them closer toward the center of the dishwasher.
