Loading the lower rack
The lower rack is designed for plates, pans,
casseroles, and utensils.
• Load items with cooked-on or dried-on food
in the lower rack with soiled surfaces facing
in toward the spray.
• For maximum capacity and stability of an
all-plate load, stagger or overlap small
plates with large ones.
= Load plates side to side along with pots,
pans, and large cookware, as shown.
• Do not put small items in the lower rack if
they are not secured in place.

Utensil load
• Load soup, cereal, and serving bowls in
the rack in a variety of ways depending
upon their size and shape. Load bowls
securely between the rows of prongs. Do
not nest bowls because the spray won't
reach their surfaces.
• Do not load items between the bottom rack
and the side of the dishwasher tub. This
can block the water inlet opening.
