Loading the Bottom Rack
Place large items in the bottom rack. Load pots, pans and bowls upside-down. Figures 3
and 4 show typical mixed loads for the bottom rack.
Loading Extra Tall Items
If an item is too tall to be placed into the bottom rack even with the top rack in the raised
position, remove the empty top rack by pulling it out of the dishwasher until it stops
rolling. Pull the front of the rack upward and outward until the rollers are completely free
of the roller guides. Set the top rack aside. Push the roller guides back into the dishwasher.
Insert the Extra Tall Item Sprinkler into the top rack spray outlet and turn the sprinkler
clockwise to lock it into position as shown in Figure 5. Place your extra tall item(s) in the
bottom rack as shown in Figure 6.
NOTE: Keep the vent on the tub's right side clear by placing tall items such as plastic
cutting boards and tall baking sheets on the bottom rack's left side, center, or back.
ATTENTION
To avoid dishwasher damage, do not reinstall the top rack without removing the extra
tall item sprinkler. Do not reinstall the top rack with the sprinkler installed.
To remove the sprinkler and return the dishwasher to its normal condition:
1. Turn the sprinkler counterclockwise and remove it.
2. Retrieve the top rack.
3. Tilt the top rack upwards and position the top rack rollers onto the roller guides.
4. Continue pushing the top rack until the rollers are on the guide.

Flip Tines
Flip Tines fold down to make loading the racks easier in some instances. Grasp the tines
and release from notch to reposition as shown in Figure 7.
Automatic Top Rack Height Adjustment (Models DWHD64C, DWHD64E)
The top rack can be lowered to accommodate large items in the top rack, and raised to
make room for large items in the bottom rack.
To raise the top rack:
1. Pull the top rack out of the dishwasher until it stops rolling.
2. Grasp the top of the rack above the Automatic Height-Adjustable Top Rack handles
and pull it upward as shown in Figure 8 A until the Automatic Height-Adjustable Top
Rack handles lock the rack into position (you do not need to press the Automatic
Height-Adjustable Top Rack handles in order raise the rack).
NOTE: Before you push the top rack back into the dishwasher, ensure that the rack height
is the same on both sides. Otherwise, the dishwasher door will not shut and the top rack
spray arm will not connect to the water circuit.
To lower the top rack:
1. Pull the top rack out of the dishwasher until it stops rolling.
2. Press the Automatic Height- Adjustable Top Rack handles inward as shown in
Figure 8 B and let the rack drop.

Remove the empty upper rack by pulling it out of the dishwasher to the point that it can
be lifted upward, as shown in Figure 9 A. Pull the rack outward and up until the rollers are
completely free of the roller guides. Re-insert the rack with the other set of rollers on the
roller guides, as shown in Figure 9 B.
