Loading
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.

Silverware Basket
Place flatware in the removable silverware baskets.
Sharp objects, such as forks and knives, may be placed
with the handles facing up, in order to protect your
hands. For the best wash performance, place other items
such as spoons with the handles facing down. Avoid
allowing items to nest together, which may keep them
from being properly washed. When loading, distribute
items evenly in the basket.

The clips can be a choke hazard
WARNING
for small children if removed
from the dishwasher. Keep out of reach of children.
To change the direction of the fold down tines, lower the
tines, then pull away from the bar clips that secure the
tines to the rack and remove. Reverse the direction of
the tines, orienting the handle on the opposite side of
the rack. Reattach the tines to the bar clips by pushing
the tines back until they click in place. The indexer will
also need to be switched to the opposite side of the
dishwasher. To remove the indexer, simply slide it the
in the direction labeled "unlock." Then, align the indexer
with the rack on the other side and slide in the direction
that says "lock" in order to reattach the indexer to the
rack.
IMPORTANT: It is important to 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. Also, ensure that large plates, pots, or tall
items don't hit the mid spray arm. This could result in
noise during operation and/or poor wash performance.

The silverware baskets may also be used for small
items, such as measuring spoons, baby bottle nipples,
plastic lids, or corn cob holders. The silverware basket
covers can be closed to contain small items.
IMPORTANT: Do not load large or
tall utensils where they may block the
detergent dispenser, mid spray arm, or
become trapped between the door and
the gasket when the door is closed.
