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 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.
BOTTLE JETS
The Bottle Jets system 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.

UPPER RACK - ADJUSTMENT
A loaded upper rack may be heavier
CAUTION
than anticipated. To prevent minor
injury or damage to the contents, do not raise or lower the
upper rack after the rack is loaded.
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.

Rack Rollers
To add flexibility in loading, the stem safe shelf 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.
