PREPARING AND LOADING DISHES

Adjustable Upper Rack

The top rack height can be easily adjusted to accommodate loading taller dishes in either rack. To raise the rack to the upper position, lift rack until both sides are at the same height and the rack will secure in place. Ensure that the rack remains level from front to back with both sides at the same height. To lower rack lift the rack slightly then push down and release.

Loading the Bottom Rack

Features and appearance of racks and silverware baskets may vary from your model.

The bottom rack is best for plates, saucers, bowls, and cookware.  Large items should be placed along the edge so they do not block the spray arm rotation. For best results, place bowls, casseroles, and sauce pans with soiled surface facing down or toward the center. Tilt slightly for better drainage.

Make sure tall items do not block spray arm rotation.

Be sure pan handles do not protrude through the bottom of the rack and block the spray arm rotation.

Loading the Silverware Basket

Warning iconCAUTION
Load sharp items (knives, skewers, etc.) pointing down. Failure to do so may result in injury.

Features and appearance of racks and silverware basket may vary from your model.

Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom rack or take the basket out for loading on a counter or table.

In some models small items like baby bottle caps, jar lids, corn cob holders, etc., can be placed in

a covered section. Close the cover to hold small items in place.

Use suggested loading patterns, as shown, to increase washability of the silverware.

Be sure nothing protrudes through bottom of basket or rack to block the spray arm.

Do not mix silver and stainless to avoid damaging the silver finish.

Example of the cutlery holder full

When covers are up, mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing up and some down to avoid nesting. Water spray cannot reach nested items.

Mix the direction that the cutlery is placed to avoid nesting

To add or remove items after the wash cycle starts:

  • Unlatch door and wait a few seconds until wash action stops before opening
  • Add the item and wait a few seconds to allow cold air to slowly expand inside the dishwasher
  • To resume the cycle press the START/CANCEL pad and close the door immediately
