Sliding Bowl Tines (on some models) Sliding lower-rack tines that move left or right to fit your dishes. You can use this feature to fit larger items like cereal bowls or other odd shaped items. CULINARY CADDY® Utensil Basket (on some models) Use the utensil basket to hold specialty cooking utensils (serving spoons, spatulas, and similar items), or overflow silverware items. The basket hangs on the bottom rack in the right-hand corner. Load the basket while it is on the bottom rack or remove the basket for loading on a counter or table. NOTE: Spin the spray arms. Be sure items in the basket do not stop the rotation of the spray arms. Dynamic Lower Spray Arm (on some models) The Dynamic Lower Spray Arm is motor driven and will not spin unless the dishwasher is running. The motor assures just the right spin for thorough and effective cleaning. NOTE: If the spray arm becomes blocked for any reason during the cycle, you may hear a ticking sound. Open the dishwasher and remove the blockage. Press START/RESUME and close the door to continue the cycle. Removable Top Rack The removable top rack allows you to wash larger items such as pots, roasters, and cookie sheets in the bottom rack. IMPORTANT: Remove dishes prior to removing the top rack from the dishwasher. To remove the rack: To gain access to the removable tabs on the tracks/rails, pull the upper rack forward about halfway out of the tub. On one side, press the tab on the track in and pull up the front end of the rack out of the track. Then repeat this step on the other side to completely remove the front end of the rack. Then remove the rack by pulling the back end out using a forward and upward motion. To replace the rack: Pull the tracks forward about halfway out of the tub. Along the sides of the racks are round attachment tabs. Align the rack's back end attachment tabs with the cutout in the track. Push down into place. Pull the tracks completely out, and align the rack's front end attachment tabs with the cutout in the track. Push down into place. You will hear a snap when the front end of the rack is secured into place on each side. Using the Bottle Wash Feature (on some models) Up to 6 sports bottles, baby bottles or other narrow items may be washed in the upper rack with this feature. To wash bottles: 1. Select BOTTLE WASH on the control panel. 2. Flip up any or all six of the nozzles just far enough to fit inside your particular item. 3. Securely place items over the nozzles. A B A. Water flows through these holes when the nozzle is flipped down. B. Water flows through these holes when the nozzle is flipped up. When you do not need to wash bottles, flip the nozzles down until they stop. Interior Lighting (on some models) On models with a window, interior lighting will automatically come on for 10 minutes when the cycle completes. For all models with interior lighting the lights will come on when the door is opened and will shut off when the door is shut or after 10 minutes of inactivity. 14
