■ 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 because they might block the water inlet
opening.
NOTE: If you have removed the bottom rack for unloading or
cleaning, replace it with the bumpers in front.
Fold-down tines (on some models)
You can fold down one row of tines at the back of the bottom
rack.
1. Grasp the tip of the tine that is in the tine holder.
2. Gently pull the tine out of the tine holder.
3. Lay the row of tines down in the rack to make room for larger
dishes, bowls, pots, pans or roasters.
Loading Silverware Basket
Load the silverware basket while it is in the dishwasher 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.
To open the silverware basket
Unlock the latch.
NOTE: Be sure the cover is completely latched before pulling out
the bottom rack and before closing the dishwasher door.
■ Place small items such as baby bottle caps, jar lids, corncob
holders, etc., in the section(s) with hinged cover(s). Close the
cover to hold small items in place.
■ 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.
■ The silverware basket can be hung on the door or on the
bottom rack (see illustration).
The silverware basket can also be placed inside the bottom
rack.
