Silverware basket Use suggested loading patterns, as shown, to better clean the silverware. Cup Shelf Fold down the extra shelf on the lefthand 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 (on some models) 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. Adjustable Upper Racks (on some models) The Adjustable Upper Rack 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. To raise the rack, press both rack adjusters and lift the rack until it is in the up position and level. To lower the rack, press both rack adjusters and slide the rack back to its lower position. After adjusting the upper rack, check that all spray arms turn freely. Stack-Rack Shelves (on some models) Increase loading flexibility - items such as casserole dishes stay stable while the folding shelf allows you to load smaller items on top. 10
