Features and appearance of racks and silverware basketsmay vary from your model.Upper RackAlthough the upper rack is for glasses, cupsand saucers, pots and pans can be placed inthis rack for effective cleaning. Cups andglasses fit best along the sides. This is alsoa secure place for dishwasher plastics.The utility shelf (on some models) may beplaced in the up or down position to addflexibility. A wine glass holder (on somemodels) secures wine glasses for bestwashability.Some models have contoured metal cupshelves that can secure up to 12 wine glasses(as shown).Because wine glasses come in various sizes,after loading, slowly push in the rack tomake sure they will clear the top of thedishwasher.The upper rack is good for all kinds ofodd-shaped utensils. Saucepans, mixingbowls and other items should be placedface down. Fold-down tines (on somemodels) provide flexibility for extra-largeand hard-to-fit items.Secure larger dishwasher-safe plastics over 2 tineswhen possible.Make sure small plastic items are secure so theycan’t fall onto the heater.Be sure that items do not protrude through thebottom of the rack and block rotation of themiddle spray arm.
