Adjustable 3-position top rack
You can raise or lower the top rack to fit tall iterns in either the top
or bottom rack. Two adjusters are located on each side of the top
rack. Each adjuster has 3 preset positions. The high and low
positions are marked on the adjuster.
To adjust the top rack
1. Hold the top rack with one hand near the adjuster.
2. With the other hand, pull out the top of the adjuster.
3. Raise or lower the rack to one of the preset positions.
4. Release the adjuster.
Repeat the steps for the remaining adjusters as needed. The 4
adjusters can be raised or lowered separately or together. The
top rack does not have to be level.
The bottom rack is designed for plates, pans, casseroles, and
utensils. Items with cooked-on or dried-on food should be loaded
with soiled surfaces facing inward to the spray. (See
recommended loading patterns shown.)
NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the
drawings shown.
Do not cover spray tower. See arrow.
10 place setting
Do not load glasses, cups, or plastic items in the bottom
rack. Load small items in the bottom rack only if they are
secured in place.
Load plates, soup bowls, etc., between tines and facing
inward to the spray.
Overlap the edges of plates for large loads.
Load soup, cereal, and serving bowls in the rack in a variety
of ways depending upon their size and shape. Load bowls
securely between the rows of tines. Do not nest bowls
because the spray will not reach all surfaces.
■ Load cookie sheets, cake pans, and other large items at the
sides and back. Loading such items in front can keep the
water spray from reaching the detergent dispenser and
silverware basket.
■ Secure heavily soiled cookware face down in the rack,
■ Make sure pot handles and other items do not stop rotation
of the spray arm(s). The spray arm{s) must move freely.
■ Do not load items between the bottom rack and the side of
the dishwasher tub. You can block the water inlet opening.
NOTE: If you have removed the bottom rack for unloading or
cleaning, replace it with the bumpers in front.
r; iiil;
Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom rack or take
the basket out for loading on a counter or table.
NOTE: Unload or remove the basket before unloading the racks
to avoid spilling water droplets on the silverware.
■ Place small items like baby bottle caps, jar lids, corn cob
holders, etc., in the covered section. Close the cover to hold
small items in place.
This silverware basket can be separated and placed into the
bottom rack in several locations. Load silvenware in all
sections or just one, depending upon your load.
When covers are up, mix items in each section of the basket
with some pointing up and some down to avoid nesting.
Spray cannot reach nested items.
IMPORTANT: Always load sharp items (knives, skewers, etc.)
pointing down.
