Loading the dishwasher.
For best dishwashing results, follow these loading guidelines.

Upper Rack
Although the upper rack is for glasses,
cups and saucers, pots and pans can be
placed in this rack for effective cleaning.
Cups and glasses fit best along the sides.
This is also a secure place for dishwasher-
safe plastics.
The upper rack is good for all kinds of
odd-shaped utensils. Saucepans, mixing
bowls and other items should be placed
face down. Fold-down tines (on some
models) provide flexibility for extra-large
and hard-to-fit items.
Secure larger dishwasher-safe plastics over
2 tines when possible.
Make sure small plastic items are secure so
they can’t fall onto the heater.
Be sure that items do not protrude through
the bottom of the rack and block rotation
of the middle spray arm. This could result
in poor wash performance for items in the
upper rack.
Silverware Basket
To load flatware, simply push the
adjustable handle to either side. Put
flatware in the removable basket with
fork and knife handles up to protect
your hands. Place spoons in the basket
with handles down. Mix knives, forks
and spoons so they don’t nest together.
Distribute evenly. Small plastic items,
such as measuring spoons and lids
from small containers should go in the
bottom of the silverware basket with the
silverware on top.
A variety of options is available regarding
the three-piece silverware basket in
your dishwasher. The complete basket
is designed to fit on the right side of the
lower rack. Additionally, each end of
the basket is removable to add loading
flexibility to accommodate flatware
and lower rack capacity needs.
The lids of both end and middle baskets
(on some models) can be closed to contain
small items. Long items can be placed
on the utility shelf in the upper rack.
Lower Rack
The lower rack is best used for plates,
saucers and cookware. Large items such
as broiler pans and baking racks should
go along the left-hand side. Load platters,
pots and bowls along the sides, in
corners or in the back. The soiled side
of items should face the center of the
rack. If necessary, oversized glasses and
mugs can be placed in the lower rack to
maximize loading flexibility.
Also, be careful not to let a portion of an
item such as a pot or dish handle extend
through the bottom rack. This could block
the wash arm and cause poor washing
results.
Fold-down tines (on some models) provide
flexibility for extra-large and hard-to-fit
items. The tines may be left in the up
position or folded down to customize
the lower rack.
Don’t let any
item extend
through
bottom.
To remove end baskets, grasp
the basket at opposite corners
and slide apart.
