Lower Flexload™ Rack
A variety of large items such as
casserole dishes, baking pans,
mixing bowls, and pots and
pans can be loaded in the lower
rack. When deeper dishes or
pots and pans are located in
this rack, the middle rack can
be raised. To accommodate
exceptionally large,
occasionally used items such
as a canner on the lower
Flexload™ rack, the middle
rack can be removed. For good
wash action, place items with soiled surfaces face down in the
rack.
Adjustable Racks (upper and mid level)
The Adjustable Upper Rack and Adjustable Middle Rack can be
raised or lowered to accommodate taller plates, platters, pots or
pans, in the upper, middle or lower racks. Full size dinner plates
can be loaded in the upper rack if it is in the lower position.
NOTE: Always unload racks before adjusting.
To raise the rack, press
both rack adjusters and
lift the rack until it is in the
Up position and level.
To lower the rack, press
both rack adjusters and
slide the rack back to its
lower position.
Removable Upper and Middle Racks

Dishwasher Care
Cleaning the Dishwasher
Clean the exterior of the dishwasher with a soft, damp cloth and
mild detergent. If your dishwasher has a stainless steel exterior, a
stainless steel cleaner is recommended - Stainless Steel Cleaner
and Polish Part Number 31464.
Clean the interior of the dishwasher, with a paste of powdered
dishwasher detergent and water or use liquid dishwasher detergent
on a damp sponge to clean the cooled-down interior.
A white vinegar rinse may remove white spots and film. Vinegar is
an acid, and using it too often could damage your dishwasher.
Put 2 cups (500 mL) white vinegar in a glass or dishwasher-safe
measuring cup on the bottom rack. Run the dishwasher through a
complete washing cycle using an air-dry or an energy-saving dry
option. Do not use detergent. Vinegar will mix with the wash water.
Storing the Dishwasher
If you will not be using the dishwasher during the summer months,
turn off the water and power supply to the dishwasher. In the
winter, if the dishwasher could be exposed to near freezing
temperatures or is left in a seasonal dwelling such as a second
home or vacation home, avoid water damage by having your
dishwasher winterized by authorized service personnel.
If you have a drain air gap,
check and clean it if the
dishwasher isn't draining
well.
