Loading the dishwasher Upper basket  For safety reasons, do not oper‐ ate the dishwasher without the upper and lower baskets in place (except when running the Tall items program, if available). Adjustable cup rack (depending on model)  Raise the rack to make room for tall items. Glasses can be arranged along the po‐ sitioning rail of the cup rack to give them some support during the pro‐ gram.  Lower the cup rack and lean the glasses against it, or double stack smaller pieces.  Use the upper basket for small, light‐ weight and delicate items such as cups, saucers, glasses, dessert bowls, etc. Shallow pans or casserole dishes can also be placed in the upper basket.  Long items such as soup ladles, mix‐ ing spoons, and long knives should be placed lying down across the front of the upper basket. 26
