Loading and place settings. For best dishwashing results, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of racks and silverware baskets may vary from your model. End Cap Rail Rollers Upper Rack The upper rack is primarily for glasses, cups, and saucers. However, other items such as pots, pans, and plates may be placed in the upper rack. This is also a secure place for dishwasher-safe plastic items. The upper rack can be used for odd sized utensils. Sauce pans, mixing bowls, and other similarly shaped items should be placed face down for best wash performance. Ensure small plastic items are secure so that they cannot fall into the heater at the bottom of the dishwasher, potentially damaging the item. On some models, the upper rack may be adjusted to accommodate larger items. To adjust the upper rack, fully extend the upper rack and remove the two plastic end caps on the front of the rails. Remove the upper rack. Select the set of rollers on the side of the rack that provides the desired height, and reinstall the upper rack by guiding the rack rails between the appropriate set of rollers. With the rack reinstalled, replace the two plastic end caps, ensuring the snap is properly engaged. Failure to properly engage the end caps may result in the rack falling from the dishwasher. To add flexibility in loading, the utility shelf (on some models) may be placed in the up or down position. The shelf may also be used to secure stemware such as wine glasses. Because these stemware items come in various sizes, slowly push the rack in to ensure the items do not bump into the edges of the dishwasher, which may cause damage to the items. It is important to ensure that items do not protrude through the bottom of the rack or silverware basket (on some models) where they will block the rotation of the middle spray arm. This could result in noise during operation and/or poor wash performance. Check to make sure that no items will block rotation of the wash arms.
