To replace the rack: 1. Gently pull rack tracks forward in dishwasher until they stop and click into place. 2. To open track stops, flip the track stop to the outside of the track. 3.

Close track stops on both sides of rack and slide rack back into dishwasher. Culinary Tool Rack The culinary tool rack is designed with 2 movable baskets to hold extra silverware, knives and cooking utensils. Install the baskets in this up position when you have extra silverware and flatware to wash. IMPORTANT: When you are using the culinary tool baskets in the down position, the mid level rack must also be in the lowest position. Down position Remove the front basket in the down position, when you are using the cup shelves or other tall items in the mid level rack for more room. Up position Install the baskets in this down position when you have extra silverware, knives, or utensils requiring more room to wash. Dishwasher Care Cleaning the Dishwasher Clean the exterior of the dishwasher with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. If your dishwasher has a stainless steel exterior, a stainless steel cleaner is recommended. Clean the interior of the dishwasher, with a paste of powdered dishwasher detergent and water or use liquid dishwasher detergent on a damp sponge to clean the cooled-down interior. A white vinegar rinse may remove white spots and film. Vinegar is an acid, and using it too often could damage your dishwasher. Put 2 cups (500 mL) white vinegar in a glass or dishwasher-safe measuring cup on the bottom rack. Run the dishwasher through a complete washing cycle using an air-dry or an energy-saving dry option. Do not use detergent. Vinegar will mix with the wash water. If you have a drain air gap, check and clean it if the dishwasher isn't draining well. Storing the Dishwasher If you will not be using the dishwasher during the summer months, turn off the water and power supply to the dishwasher. In the winter, if the dishwasher could be exposed to near freezing temperatures or is left in a seasonal dwelling such as a second home or vacation home, avoid water damage by having your dishwasher winterized by authorized service personnel. 7
