LOADING THE LOWER RACk
CAUTION
NON-DISHWASHER SAFE ITEMS
The combination of high water temperature and dishwasher
detergents may damage certain items. LG does not recommend
washing the following items in the dishwasher:
• Hand painted silver or gold leaf dishes
• Wood or bone handled utensils
• Iron or other rust prone utensils
• Plastic items that are not dishwasher safe
When in doubt, check the manufacturers' recommendations.
The extra tall tub allows loading of dishes, pans, or other utensils
up to 14 inches high.
The lower rack is recommended for dinner plates, soup bowls,
dishes, pots, pans, lids, and grill trays. Plates should be positioned
vertically and facing the center of the rack. Pots, pans, and large
bowls must be turned so that the inside faces downward. The sil-
verware basket may be used in either the lower or upper rack.
SUGGESTED LOADING PATTERN
RACk LOADING TIPS
y Load plates, soup bowls etc. between the tines.
y Load cookie sheets, cake pans and other large items on the
sides or back of the rack. Loading these items in the front of
the dishwasher can prevent the water spray from reaching the
detergent dispenser.
y Make sure that pot handles and other large items do not stop
the rotation of the spray arms.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The lower rack should not be used for small items such as cups,
wine glasses, or small plates. These items should be loaded in the
upper rack.
For models with steam, load heavily soiled or stained dishes in the
front left side of the lower rack with the dirty side facing down.
This is the area that the stream enters the dishwasher. The use of
hot steam maximizes the dishwasher's cleaning performance.
ADDITIONAL LOADING PATTERN
NOTE
Make sure that large items do not interfere with the
rotation of the spray arms, and do not prevent the
detergent dispenser from opening.
