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.
Fold-down fingers (on some models) provide
flexibility for extra large and hard-to-fit items.
The fingers may be left in the up position or
folded down to customize the lower 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.
To increase the flexibility of the lower rack, the
silverware basket may be split. Grasp the basket
at opposite corners and slide apart. The basket
sections should be placed in the lower rack by
hanging them on the top hoop.
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.
