and Loading
Dishes
continued
Loading
the
Top Rack
Glasses
and
cups--Place
glasses
and
cups against outside
pins at an angle. Cups with a
concave
bottom
will collect water.
Small
plates
and
saucers--Place
dishes between middle two rows of pins.
Plasticware--Load
plasticware
in the top rack
to avoid melting.
Bowls--Place
bowls between
the middle 2 rows
of pins facing down.
Miscellaneous
items--Place
long handled
knives
and utensils
in top rack.
Cup
Shelf--The
cup shelf can be folded down
over short items (juice glasses,
cups, etc.) for
more loading
space.
When using cup shelf,
alternate
items with layer below so that water can
reach all inside surfaces.
Loading
the
Silverware
Basket
Load sharp
items with handles
up. Be sure items
do not protrude
through
the holes in the basket
and stop the rotation
of the spray arm.
Load silverware
so items are mixed in each
section
to prevent
nesting.
Water spray cannot
effectively
reach nested
items.
Loading
the
Bottom
Rack
Large
plates
and
platters--Place
between
the support
pins with soiled sides facing
inward.
Bowls,
casseroles
and
sauce
pans--
Load upside down or at an angle
facing inward.
Slightly
tilting items will provide
better drainage.
Pots
and
pan.Place
upside down and
at an angle.
Do not allow handles
to protrude
through
bottom
of rack, blocking

rotation.
Load large items at the sides and not
across
the front so they do not block the
detergent
dispenser
preventing
it from opening.
