USING THE DISHWASHER
Loading
Lower Rack
The lower rack is best used for plates, saucers and
cookware items. Large items, such as broiler pans and
baking racks should be placed along the sides of the rack.
If necessary, oversized glasses and mugs can be placed in
the lower rack to maximize loading flexibility. Plates, saucers
and similar items should be placed between the tines in the
direction that allows the item to remain secure in the rack.
NOTE: Do not load large items in the lower rack where they may
block the wash jets from rinsing out the detergent dispenser.
The lower rack fold down tines (on some models) can
be adjusted
to different
upright
angles or
placed flat
to provide
flexibility for
hard-to-fit or
extra-large
items.
The reversible tine blocks (on some models) are designed
to allow greater flexibility in loading dishes. The direction
of the tine blocks can be changed to match your preferred
loading direction as shown in Figure A or Figure B:
To adjust the tine block direction, remove the clips
securing the tine blocks to the racks by pulling up on the
tab, then gently flex the retaining wire from the center to
unseat the tine block from the lower rack. The tine block
may be turned in the opposite direction to reverse loading
direction. Secure the tine block to the rack using the same
process and be sure to snap the clips back in place.
To change the direction of the fold down tines, lower
the tines, then pull away from the bar clips that secure
the tines to the rack and remove. Reverse the direction
of the tines, orienting the handle on the opposite side of
the rack. Reattach the tines to the bar clips by pushing
the tines back until they click in place. The indexer will
also need to be switched to the opposite side of the
dishwasher. To remove the indexer, simply slide it the
in the direction labeled “unlock.” Then, align the indexer
with the rack on the other side and slide in the direction
that says “lock” in order to reattach the indexer to the
rack.
IMPORTANT: It is important to ensure that items do not
protrude through the bottom of the rack or the silverware
basket where they will block the rotation of the lower
spray arm. Also, ensure that large plates, pots, or tall
items don’t hit the mid spray arm. This could result in
noise during operation and/or poor wash performance.
For best dishwashing results, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of racks and silverware baskets
may vary from your model.
