For best dishwashing results, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of racks and silverware
baskets may vary from your model.
Lower
Rack
The lower rack is best used for plates, saucers and
cookware items. Large items, such as broiler pans
and baking racks should be placed along the sides
of the rack. If necessary, oversized glasses and mugs
can be placed in the lower rack to maximize loading
flexibility. Plates,saucers and similar items should be
placed between the tines in the direction that allows
the item to remain secure in the rack.
NOTE:Do not load large items in the lower rack where
they may block the wash jets from rinsing out the
detergent dispenser.
The lower rack fold down tines can be adjusted
to different upright angles or placed flat to provide
flexibility for hard-to-fit or extra-large items.

to ensure that items do
not protrude through the bottom of the rack or the

pots, or tall items don't hit the mid spray arm. This
could result in noise during operation and/or poor wash
