leverforward then drop the tines into
position,then releasethe lever.
Theupper rack isgood for all kindsof
odd-shaped utensils.Saucepans,mixing
bowls and other items should be placed face

they can't fall onto the heater.

the bottom of the rack and block rotation of
the middle spray arm.This could result in
