Loading the Top Rack
The top rack is designed for cups, glasses, and smaller
items. (See recommended loading patterns shown.)
NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary
from the drawings shown.
10 place setting load
Place items so open ends face down for cleaning and
draining.
Load glasses and cups in top rack only. The bottom
rack is not designed for glasses and cups. Damage can
occur.
12 place setting load
Place cups and glasses in the rows between prongs.
Placing them over the prongs can lead to breakage.

China, crystal, and other delicate items must not touch
each other during dishwasher operation. Damage may
occur.

Load plastic items in the top rack only. Only plastic
items marked "dishwasher safe" are recommended.
Load plastic items so the force of the spray does not
move them during the cycle.
To avoid chipping, do not let stemware touch other
items.
Small bowls, pans, and other utensils can be placed in
the top rack. Load bowls in the center section for best
stability.
Loading the Bottom Rack
The bottom rack is designed for plates, pans, casseroles,
and utensils. Items with cooked-on or dried-on food
should be loaded with soiled surfaces facing inward to the
spray. (See recommended loading patterns shown.)
NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary
from the drawings shown.
Mixed load
Do not load glasses, cups, or plastic items in the
bottom rack. Load small items in the bottom rack only
if they are secured in place.
Load plates, soup bowls, etc., between prongs and
facing inward to the spray.
Overlap the edges of plates for large loads.
Load soup, cereal, and serving bowls in the rack in a
variety of ways depending upon their size and shape.
Load bowls securely between the rows of prongs. Do
not nest bowls because the spray will not reach all
surfaces
