Adjustable Upper Rack
Note:
Height should be adjusted without dishes in the racks.
Dish Preparation
Scrape away large pieces of food, bones, pits, toothpicks, etc. The continuous filtered wash system
will remove the remaining food particles. Burned-on
foods should be loosened before loading. Empty liquids from glasses and cups.
Foods such as mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice and tomato based products may cause discoloration of stainless steel and plastics if allowed to sit for a long period of time. Unless the dishwasher is to be opertated at once it is best to rinse off these
food soils. If the dishwasher drains into a food disposer, be sure
disposer is completely empty before starting dishwasher.

The upper rack in the upper postion
The upper rack in the lower postion
The upper rack height can be easily adjusted to accommodate loading taller dishes in either rack.
To accommodate taller dishes in the bottom rack, there are 2 positions available:
Loading the Upper Rack
The upper rack is designed for cups, glasses, small plates, bowls and plastic items marked “dishwasher safe” etc.
For best results, place the bowls, cups, glasses, sauce pans with soiled surface facing down or toward the center. Tilt slightly for better drainage.
Make sure the loaded dishes do not interfere with the rotation of the middle spray arm, which is located at the bottom of the upper rack. (Check this by rotating the middle spray arm by hand.)
Loading the Bottom Rack
The bottom rack is designed to load plates, soup bowls,
plates, saucers and cookware.
The
adjustable rack
space will allow you to load maximum 13 inch items.
Large items should be placed along the edge so they do not interfere with the middle spray arm rotation, and make sure they not prevent
the detergent dispenser from opening. Large items should be turned so that the
inside faces downward, and make sure these items do not interfere with the lower spray
arm rotation.
The fold-down tines in the bottom rack make it easy to load those extra large and hard-to-fit items. The tines may be left up for normal use or folded down for more flexible loading. Fold down for more space to load large pots or pans.

Be sure nothing protrudes though bottom of the basket or rack to block the lower spray arm.
To add or remove items after wash cycle starts: 1 Open door slightly and wait a few seconds until wash
action stops before completely opening. 2 Add the item. 3 Close door firmly to latch and cycle will automatically
resume.
CAUTION
TO AVOID BURN INJURY: Slightly open door and wait until spray arms and wash action stop. Hot water may splash out of dishwasher. Failure to do so may result in injury.
Filling the rinse aid dispenser
Rinse aid greatly improves drying and reduces water
spots and filming. Without rinse aid your dishes and dishwasher interior will have excessive moisture. The Heated Dry option will not perform as well without rinse aid. The rinse aid dispenser, located next to the Detergent cup, automatically releases a measured amount of rinse aid during the last rinse.
If spotting and poor drying is a problem, increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed by rotating the dial to a
higher number. The dial is located under the dispenser cap.
If the rinse aid is low, the Rinse Aid light is illuminated at the beginning and end of the cycle indicating that it is time to refill.
