Loading the Bottom Rack
Note: For the best drying results,
place tall items such as plastic cutting
boards and tall baking sheets on the
lower rack's left side or back. This will
keep the vent on the dishwasher tub’s
right side unobstructed.
Place large items in the bottom rack
of the dishwasher. Load pots and pans
upside-down. For larger items, fold
down the rear tines on the bottom
rack. Figure 6 shows a typical mixed
load in the lower rack.

Accomodating Extra Tall Items
If an item to be loaded into the lower
rack interferes with the upper spray
arm or is blocked by the upper rack,
simply remove the upper rack and
install the Extra Tall Item Sprinkler.
1. To remove the upper rack, pull the
empty upper rack out of the
dishwasher until it stops rolling.
2. Pull the front of the rack upward
and outward until the rollers are
completely free of the roller guides.
3. Slide the roller guides back into the
dishwasher.
4. Insert the sprinkler into the upper
rack spray outlet at the back of the
dishwasher tub as shown in Figure
9, and turn the sprinkler clockwise.
5. Place your extra tall item(s) in the
lower rack as in Figure 10.

Reinstall the Upper Rack
CAUTION: POSSIBLE
DISHWASHER DAMAGE - Failure to
remove the extra tall item sprinkler
before reinstalling the upper rack
can result in damage to the
dishwasher. Do not reinstall the
upper rack unless the extra tall
item sprinkler has been removed
When the wash cycle is complete,
remove the sprinkler by turning it
counter-clockwise until it comes loose
from the upper rack spray outlet. Do
this before you reinstall the upper
rack; otherwise, your dishwasher
could be damaged.
1. Tilt the upper rack upwards and
position the upper rack rollers onto
the roller guides.
2. Continue pushing the upper rack
until the rollers are on the guide.
3. Push the upper rack into the
dishwasher tub.
