For best dishwashing results, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of racks and silverware
baskets may vary from your model.
Lower Rack
When loading the lower rack, do not load large
platters or trays in the front left. They may
prevent detergent from circulating during the
wash cycle.
The lower rack is best used for plates, saucers and
cookware. Large items should go along the sides.
Load platters, pots and bowls along the sides, in
corners or in the back. The soiled side of items
should face the center of the rack.

Silverware
The silverware basket may be used without
the topper for quick loading. With the topper,
Basket
flatware is better positioned for the dishwasher
to thoroughly wash and dry all pieces by
preventing nesting.
Without the topper
Put the flatware in the removable basket with
fork and knife handles up to protect your hands.
Place spoons in the basket with handles down.
Mix knives, forks and spoons so they don't
nest together. Distribute evenly. Small plastic
items, such as measuring spoons and lids from
small containers, should go in the bottom of the
silverware basket with silverware on top.
With the topper
Place small plastic items, such as measuring
spoons and lids from small containers, in the
bottom of the basket and snap the topper in
place. Insert spoons and forks, handles first,
through the holes in the topper. Place knives,
blades first, through the holes in the topper.

IMPORTANT: Ensure
that items do not protrude
through the bottom of
the rack or the silverware
basket where they will
block the rotation of the
lower spray arm. This
could result in noise during
operation and/or poor wash
performance.
IMPORTANT:
Do not load large or tall utensils
where they may block the detergent dispenser or
upper spray arm. This could result in noise during
operation and/or poor wash performance.
