Lower Rack
When loading the lower rack, do not load large platters or
trays in the front right corner. They may prevent detergent
from circulating during the wash cycle.
The lower rack is best used for plates, saucers,
and cookware. Large items such as broiler pans
and 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.
Silverware Basket
Put 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.
A security cell cover (on some
models) hinged in some
handles can be lowered to
either side to secure
lightweight items from the
effects of the vigorous
wash action.
Don’t let any
item extend
through bottom.
