Loading the Racks Chef ’s Washer This Chef’s Washer is designed for dishwasher-safe gourmet cookware. Upper Rack The upper rack is for small bowls and pans.

Mix knives, forks and spoons so they don’t nest together. Distribute evenly.

Flip-down covers can be lowered to secure lightweight items from the effects of the vigorous wash action.
