Loading the bottom rack
Load items with cooked-on or dried-on food
in the bottom rack, with soiled surfaces
facing inward to the spray.
Mixed load
• Load plates, soup bowls, etc., between
prongs and facing inward to the spray.
• Make sure pot handles and other items do
not stop rotation of the spray arms. Spray
arms must move freely.
• Load items so they do not block or cover
the spray tower.
• Load heavily-soiled cookware face down
in rack.
• Do not stack or overlap dishes. Water
spray must reach all soiled surfaces for
best results.
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
silvenware basket.
NOTE:
• Do not load glasses, cups, or plastic items
in the bottom rack.
• Do not load items between the bottom rack
and the side of the dishwasher tub. This
can block the water inlet opening.
• If you have removed the bottom rack for
unloading or cleaning, replace it with
bumpers in front.
Fold-down divider
Use the fold-down divider at the back of the
rack to make room for deep bowls, roasters,
etc.
Mixed load
Do not cover spray tower
