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. The
dishwasher has a hidden heater, so dishwasher safe
plastic items can be placed in the lower rack.
IMPORTANT: Ensure items in the upper rack do not
interfere with the 3rd Rack (on some models) when
loading and unloading.
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
The upper rack allows 2" of adjustment up or down
to accommodate large items. The upper rack may
be lowered by pushing the long flaps on each side of
the rack. This will allow you to lower the rack (see fig.
Upper Rack). To raise the rack, lift up on the rack until
the rack locks in place.
To add flexibility in loading, the utility shelf (on
some models) may be placed in the up or down
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.
The fold down tines (on some models) provide
flexibility for extra-large and hard-to-fit items.
The tine rows can be adjusted to a vertical or
lay-down position.
