Loading Upper Rack Glasses, cups, stemware, light-weight plastics, plates, bowls, pans, long-handled utensils etc. can be loaded in this rack. Do not load glasses over the tines. The Stack-Rack TM (select models) on the right side of the upper rack folds up or down for loading flexibility. Fold it down to hold long-handled knives, spatulas and spoons or short items like cups or juice glasses. Fold it up for taller items like glasses, bowls, plates, etc. The edge of the Stack-Rack TM(select models) is designed to hold stemware in place. Taller stemware will fit better on the right side as the upper rack is deeper on this side. Lower Rack A variety of items such as dinner plates, mixing bowls, pots and pans and baking dishes can be loaded in this rack. Wider items can be placed along the left side and back of this rack. Utensil Basket Removable Standard Utensil Basket [style may vary] For best cleaning results, prevent items from nesting together by placing some items in the basket with handles up and some with handles down. On slotted covers, load knives handles up and spoons and forks handles down. Be sure that thin, finely pointed items do not extend through the basket. This could block the lower wash arm. Auxiliary Basket [select models) Use this supplemental basket in the upper or lower rack for loading miscellaneous items and utensils. This is also a safe place to load sharp knives and pointed items. Removing the Upper Rack The rack can be removed when tall or oversized items need to be loaded into the lower rack.
