Loading; Upper Rack - GE GDF 565 Serie Manuel D'utilisation

Loading

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

Upper Rack

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. Ensure small plastic items are secure so
that they cannot fall on the heater at the bottom of the
dishwasher, potentially damaging the item. Some models
are equipped with 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 (on some models) 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.

heavier than anticipated. To prevent
minor injury or damage to the contents, do not raise
or lower the upper rack after the rack is loaded.
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.

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.
