Upper Rack
The upper rack of your dishwasher is designed
with flexibility in mind. Glasses, cups, small
plates, bowls, pans, etc. can be loaded in many
different positions to suit your needs.
The rack is designed so dishes can be centered
behind a single tine and held in place by the
rack's support wires. Dishes can also be loaded at
an angle to maximize space.

For best washability, do not place any items in
the short tines when the shelf is being used.
Small items such as plates, saucers or shallow
bowls may be loaded in the elevated area behind
the wash tower.
Flatware
Put flatware in the removable silverware basket,
mixing knives, forks and spoons. To prevent
them from nesting together, place some handles
up and some down. However, sharp or pointed
items should be loaded with the handles up.
The silverware basket may be removed for ease
of loading or unloading.
Use the covered section for small, lightweight
articles such as measuring cups and spoons,
small plastic items, baby spoons, etc. Lower the
cover to keep these items in place.
The convertible bowl tines in the right rear
comer can be folded to provide either narrow or
wide spacing. This allows flexible loading of a
variety of articles such as serving bowls, plates,
pans or casserole dishes.
