Lower Rack

The lower rack is best used for plates, saucers
and cookware. Large items such as broiler
pans and baking racks should go along the
left-hand side. Load platters, pots and bowls
along the sides, in corners or in the back. The
soiled side of items should face the center of
the rack. If necessary, oversized glasses and
mugs can be placed in the lower rack to
maximize loading flexibility.

Removing the Upper Rack

You can remove the upper rack to allow
space for large items in the lower rack.
NOTE: Do not use the SINGLE RACK WASH
cycle (some models) with this feature. Single
Rack Wash cycle is for upper rack wash only.
The recommended cycle for lower rack only
use is the COOKWARE cycle.
To remove the upper rack:
1
Press thumb tab out and remove the
front end caps on each side of the rail.
2
Pull the rack straight out and off the rails.
3
Replace the end caps.
4 Push the rails all the way back into the
dishwasher.

Silverware Basket

To load flatware, simply push the adjustable
handle to either side (on some models). Put
flatware in the removable basket with fork
and knife handles up to protect your hands.
Place spoons in the basket with handles
down. Mix knives, forks and spoons so they
don't nest together. Distribute evenly. Small
plastic items, such as measuring spoons and
lids from small containers should go in the
bottom of the silverware basket with the
silverware on top.
The one-piece silverware basket (on some
models) can be placed in the front, right side
or back of the lower rack.
Also, be careful not to let a portion of an item
such as a pot or dish handle extend through
the bottom rack. This could block the wash
arm and cause poor washing results.
Fold-down tines (on some models) provide
flexibility for extra-large and hard-to-fit items.
The tines may be left in the up position or
folded down to customize the lower rack.
5 Slide the shower nozzle attachment
(located in the bag that contained these
instructions) over the spout.
6 Then fill the lower rack and begin
your cycle.
NOTE: Don't forget to remove the shower
nozzle attachment before you replace the
upper rack.
A variety of options is available regarding
the three-piece silverware basket (on some
models) in your dishwasher. The complete
basket is designed to fit on the right side of
the lower rack. Additionally, each end of
the basket is removable to add loading
flexibility to accommodate flatware and
lower rack capacity needs.
The lids of both end and middle baskets (on
some models) can be closed to contain small
items. Long items can be placed on the utility
shelf in the upper rack.
