Extra-capacity fold down shelf
An extra shelf on the right side of the top rack
can be folded down over short items (cups, juice
glasses, cereal bowls, etc.) to hold extra items.
• Adjust rack height if necessary (see below).
• To avoid chipping, do not let stemware touch
other items.
Adjustable top rack
The top rack does not have to be level.
• Raise or lower one or both sides to help fit tall
items in the top or bottom rack.
• Turn knob clockwise to raise a side.
• Turn knob counterclockwise to lower a side.
Bottom rack loading
Items with cooked-on or dried-on food should
be loaded in the bottom rack, with soiled surfaces
facing inward to the spray.
Mixed load
• Make sure pot handles and other items do not
stop rotation of the lower spray arm. Spray arm
must move freely.
• Load items so they do not block or cover the
spray tower.
• Securely place heavily soiled cookware face
down in rack.
Dish load
• Place plates, soup bowls, etc., between prongs
and facing inward to the spray.
• Do not place items directly over spray tower.
Utensil load
• Load cookie sheets, cake pans and other large
items at sides and back. Loading such items in
front may keep water spray from reaching
detergent dispenser and silverware basket.
NOTE:
• Do not load glasses, cups or plastic items in the
bottom rack.
• When lower rack is removed, replace with
bumpers in front.
