Bottom Rack Loading
Loading Recommendations
The bottom rack is best suited for plates, pans, casseroles, and utensils. (See recommended loading patterns shown.)
Load small items in the bottom rack only if they are secured in place.
Load plates, soup bowls, etc., between tines.
Load bowls securely between the rows of tines. Ensure that there is space between dishes so that the spray will reach all surfaces.
Load heavily soiled items facing the spray.
NOTE: Ensure that the detergent dispenser is not blocked by tall items such as cookie sheets and cutting boards.

Loading Tall Items
You can wash larger items, such as pots, roasters, and cookie
sheets, in the bottom rack by removing the top rack. See the
