Before you start

Don't prerinse. Simply scrape off any
bones or large food particles.
If connected to a food waste disposer,
make certain the disposer is empty
before starting the dishwasher.
Scrape off tomato-based food soils
(see page 8).
Remove certain foods (such as
mustard, mayonnaise, lemon juice,
vinegar, salt or dressings) from
stainless steel flatware as soon as
possible. These foods may cause
rusting and pitting if allowed to remain
in contact with the surface for an
extended period of time.

Upper rack

10 Place Settings
Glasses, cups, stemware, light-weight
plastics, plates, bowls, pans, long-handled
utensils etc. can be loaded in this rack. Do
not load glasses over the tines.
The Stack-Rack (select models) on the right
side of the upper rack folds up or down for
loading flexibility. Fold it down to hold long-
handled knives, spatulas and spoons or short
items like cups or juice glasses. Fold it up for
taller items like glasses, bowls, plates, etc.
General recommendations
Items can be centered behind a single
tine or loaded at an angle to maximize
space.
Avoid blocking or preventing the spray
arms from spinning freely. Do not
allow items to extend beyond the
racks.
The Stack-Rack (select models) is
designed to hold stemware in place. Taller
stemware will fit better on the right side as
the upper rack is deeper on this side.
The folding tines (select models) located in
the front right corner provide convenient
loading space for large, bulky items like
pots and pans or mixing bowls
The cup clips (select models) located in
the center of the upper rack can be used to
hold light weight plastic items, cooking
utensils, knives, etc. in place. Clip the item
between the tine and the clip.
Recommended loading
(Rack features vary by model)
For best dishwashing results follow these
guidelines to determine the best arrange-
ment for your items.
The features on your dishwasher rack may
vary from the drawings shown.
NOTE
Face soiled surfaces towards the
center of the dishwasher.
The Vari-Lock ™ Snugger (select models)
on the left secures lightweight items in
place. It can be adjusted by grasping the
wavy wire and rotating it left to snug items
against the outer rack or to the right to rest
on top of light items. Do not load items on
top of the wire.
For best results with tall glasses, align the
Vari-Lock Snugger (select models) wavy
™
wire with the arrow on the rack clip. Rest the
bottom of the glass against the wavy wire.
