Loading the dishwasher.

For best dishwashing results, follow these loading guidelines.

12

Upper Rack

The upper rack is for glasses, cups and

saucers. This is also a secure place for

dishwasher-safe plastics. A cup shelf may

be placed in the up or down position to

add flexibility. The upper rack is good for all

kinds of odd-shaped utensils. Saucepans,

mixing bowls and other items should be

placed face down.

Secure larger dishwasher-safe plastics over

2 tines when possible.
Make sure small plastic items are secure so

they can’t fall onto the heater.
Be sure that items do not protrude through

the bottom of the rack and block rotation

of the middle spray arm. This could result

in poor wash performance for items in the

upper rack.

Silverware Basket

The silverware basket may be used without

the topper for quick loading; with the topper,

it may be beneficial for holding small items

in place.
Without the topper
Put the 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 silverware on top.
With the topper
Place small plastic items, such as measuring

spoons and lids from small containers, in the

bottom of the basket and snap the topper in

place. Insert spoons and forks, handles first,

through the holes in the topper. Place knives,

blades first, through the holes in the topper.

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 sides. 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.

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.

Don’t let any

item extend

through

bottom.
