On some models, the upper rack may be adjusted to 
accommodate larger items. To adjust the upper rack, fully 
extend the upper rack and lift the front of the rack so that 
the rack roller wheels clear the end hooks on the front of 
the rails. Continue to pull the rack until the remaining rack 
roller wheels clear the end hook. 
Select the set of rollers on 
the side of the rack that provides the desired height, and 
reinstall the upper rack by aligning the rack roller wheels 
on the end hook and rack rails – Ensure that there are 
roller wheels above and below the rack rails. Failure to 
properly align the wheels onto the end hook and rails may 
result in the rack falling from the dishwasher.
USING THE DISHWASHER
Loading
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.
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.
A loaded upper rack may be 
heavier than anticipated. To prevent 
minor injury or damage to the contents, do not raise 
or lower the upper rack after the rack is loaded.
CAUTION
To add flexibility in loading, the stem safe shelf (on some 
models) may be placed in the up or down position or 
unfolded and placed in the lower unfolded position. 
The shelf may also be used to secure stemware such as 
wine glasses. Because these stemware items come in 
various sizes, slowly push the rack in to ensure the items 
do not bump into the edges of the dishwasher, which 
may cause damage to the items.
