LOADING YOUR DISHWASHER
10
Loading the bottom rack
Load items with cooked-on or dried-on food
in the bottom rack, with soiled surfaces
facing inward to the spray.
Mixed load
• Load plates, soup bowls, etc., between
prongs and facing inward to the spray.
• Make sure pot handles and other items do
not stop rotation of the spray arm. Spray
arm must move freely.
• Load items so they do not block or cover
the spray tower.
• Load heavily soiled cookware face down
in rack.
• Do not stack or overlap dishes. Water
spray must reach all soiled surfaces for
best results.
Utensil load
• Load cookie sheets, cake pans, and other
large items at sides and back. Loading
such items in front may keep water spray
from reaching detergent dispenser and
silverware basket.
NOTES:
• Do not load glasses, cups, or plastic items
in the bottom rack.
• Do not load items between the bottom rack
and the dishwasher tub. This can block
the water inlet opening.
• If you have removed the bottom rack for
unloading or cleaning, replace it with
bumpers in front.
Fold-down dividers
Fold-down dividers at the back of the rack
can be lowered to make room for deep
bowls, roasters, and other large items.
