Dishwasher Features Your Maytag dishwasher may have some or all of these features. Silverware Basket Use suggested loading patterns, as shown, to better clean the silverware. Cup Shelf Fold down the extra shelf on the left-hand or right-hand side of the top rack to hold additional cups, stemware, or long items such as utensils and spatulas. 10 place loading pattern Use the slots in the cover to keep the silverware separated for optimum wash. If the silverware does not fit into the designated slots, slide the covers outward to remove them and mix silverware types to keep them separated. Load knives down, forks up, and alternate spoons for best cleaning results. Folding Tines The Folding Tines located in the back left corner (lower rack) provide convenient loading space for large, bulky items such as pots, pans and mixing bowls. To lower the tines: Gently push the tines out of each holder toward the center and lay the tines down. Cup Clips The Cup Clips located in the upper rack can be used to hold lightweight plastic items, cooking utensils and knives in place. Clip the item between the tine and the clip. Stack-Rack Shelves Increase loading flexibility - items such as casserole dishes stay stable while the folding shelf allows you to load smaller items on top. Adjustable Upper Racks The Adjustable Upper Rack and can be raised or lowered to accommodate taller plates, platters, pots or pans, in the upper or lower racks. Full size dinner plates can be loaded in the upper rack if it is in the lower position. NOTE: Always unload racks before adjusting.

Removable Upper Rack The removable rack allows you to wash larger items such as stock pots, roasters, and cookie sheets in the lower level rack.

Rotate the rack stops outward. 3. Roll the rack all the way out of the track and remove from the dishwasher. To replace the rack: Reverse the above steps 1-3 to replace the rack into the dishwasher. 8
