Loading the top rack
Load the top rack with cups, glasses, and
smaller items. Do not cover the third level
wash when loading the top rack.
Cup and glass load
• Load so open ends face down for cleaning
and draining.
• Load glasses in top rack only - bottom
rack is not designed for glasses. Damage
can occur.
• Place items in the rows between prongs.
Placing them over the prongs may lead
to breakage.
• Secure lightweight items.
• China, crystal, and other delicate items
must not touch each other during dish­
washer operation. Damage may occur.
Mixed load
• Small bowls, pans, and other utensils can
be placed in the top rack.
• Load plastic items in the top rack only.
Plastic items may melt in the bottom rack.
• Wash only plastic items marked “dish­
washer safe.”
• Load plastic items so the force of the spray
does not move them during the cycle.
Extra-capacity fold-down
shelves
Use the fold-down shelves on both sides of
the top rack for extra loading space. Fold
them down over short items such as cups,
juice glasses, cereal bowls, etc.
• Adjust rack height if necessary (see below).
• To avoid chipping, do not let stemware
touch other items.
Infinite adjustable top rack
Raise or lower the rack to fit tall items in
either the top or bottom rack. The top rack
does not have to be level.
• Turn the knob clockwise to raise a side of
the rack.
• Turn the knob counterclockwise to lower a
side of the rack.
