cause resting and pitting if allowed to remain in contact
with the surface for an extended period of time.

an angle to maximize space.
Recommended Loading (Rack features vary by model)

Upper Rack
• Load items so they do not rest over the top of the wash
tower.

allowing items to extend beyond the racks.
10 Place Settings
Glasses, cups, stemware, light-weight plastics, small
plates, bowls, pans, long-handled utensils etc. can be
loaded in this rack. Do not load glasses over the tines.
The Stack-Rack on the right side of the upper rack folds
tip or down for loading flexibility. Fold it down to hold
long-handled knives, spatulas and spoons or short items
like cups or juice glasses. Fold it up for taller items like
glasses, bowls, plates, etc.
The Vari-Lock" Snugger (select models) on the left
secures lightweight items in place. It can be adjusted by
grasping the wavy wire and rotating it left to snug items
against the outer rack or to the right to rest on top of light
items. Do not load items on top of the wire.
The wavy wire on the Vari-Lock" Snugger (select models)
and the Stack-Rack is designed to hold stemware in place.
