Lower Rack - GE GDF 570 Série Manuel D'utilisation

Loading the dishwasher (cont.).
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 reversible tine blocks (on some models) are designed to
allow greater flexibility in loading dishes. The direction of the
tine blocks can be changed to match your preferred loading
direction as shown in Figure A or Figure B:

To adjust the tine block direction, remove the clips securing
the tine blocks to the racks by pulling up on the tab, then
gently flex the retaining wire from the center to unseat the
tine block from the lower rack. The tine block may be turned
in the opposite direction to reverse loading direction. Secure
the tine block to the rack using the same process and be
sure to snap the clips back in place.

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.
