USING THE DISHWASHER

For best dishwashing results, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of racks and silverware 
baskets may vary from your model.

Upper Rack
The upper rack is primarily for glasses, cups, and 
saucers. For best wash performance, tilt cup and glass 
openings toward the center of the rack. Other items such 
as pots, pans, and plates may be placed in the upper 
rack. This is also a secure place for dishwasher-safe 
plastic items. The upper rack can be used for odd sized 
utensils. Sauce pans, mixing bowls, and other similarly 
shaped items should be placed face down for best wash 
performance. Ensure small plastic items are secure so 
that they cannot fall on the heater at the bottom of the 
dishwasher, potentially damaging the item. Some models 
are equipped with a hidden heater, so dishwasher safe 
plastic items can be placed in the lower rack. 
IMPORTANT: Ensure items in the upper rack do not 
interfere with the 3rd Rack (on some models) when 
loading and unloading.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that items do not protrude through 
the bottom of the rack or silverware basket where they 
will block the rotation of the middle spray arm. This 
could result in noise during operation and/or poor wash 
performance.
The Bottle Jets system (on some models) is the ideal 
location to position baby bottles, tall sports bottles, or 
other tall items with narrow openings. The Bottle Jets 
clips hold bottles with small openings in place so water 
jets are directed inside the bottles to clean hard to reach 
areas. Clips can be installed or removed by simply 
slipping the clip opening over the top of the nozzle.
