For best dishwashing results, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of racks and
silverware baskets may vary from your model.

The upper rack is primarily for glasses, cups, and
saucers. For best wash performance, tilt cup and
glass openings toward the center of the rack.
Other items such as pots, pans, and plates may
be placed in the upper rack. This is also a secure
place for dishwasher-safe plastic items. The upper
rack can be used for odd sized utensils. Sauce
pans, mixing bowls, and other similarly shaped
items should be placed face down for best wash
performance. The dishwasher has a hidden
heater, so dishwasher safe plastic items can be
placed in the lower rack.
IMPORTANT: Ensure items in the upper rack do
not interfere with the 3rd Rack (on some models)
when loading and unloading.
The Bottle Jets system is the ideal location to
position baby bottles, tall sports bottles, or other
tall items with narrow openings. The Bottle Jets
clips hold bottles with small openings in place so
water jets are directed inside the bottles to clean
hard to reach areas. Clips can be installed or
removed by simply slipping the clip opening over
the top of the nozzle.
The upper rack allows 2" of adjustment up or
down to accommodate large items. The upper
rack may be lowered by pushing the long flaps on
each side of the rack. This will allow you to lower
the rack (see fig. Upper Rack). To raise the rack,
lift up on the rack until the rack locks in place.
To add flexibility in loading, the utility shelf (on
some models) may be placed in the up or down
position. The shelf may also be used to secure
stemware such as wine glasses. Because these
stemware items come in various sizes, slowly
push the rack in to ensure the items do not
bump into the edges of the dishwasher, which
may cause damage to the items.
The fold down tines (on some models) provide
flexibility for extra-large and hard-to-fit items.
The tine rows can be adjusted to a vertical or
lay-down position.

IMPORTANT: Ensure that items do not
protrude through the bottom of the rack or
silverware basket where they will block the
rotation of the middle spray arm. This could
result in noise during operation and/or poor
wash performance.
