Features and appearance of racks and silverware basketsmay vary from your model.Upper RackAlthough the upper rack is for glasses, cups and saucers, pots and pans canbe placed in this rack for effective cleaning. Cups and glasses fit best alongthe sides. This is also a secure place for dishwasher-safe plastics.The cup shelf (on some models) may be placed in the up or down positionto add flexibility.The upper rack is good for all kinds of odd-shaped utensils. Saucepans,mixing bowls and other items should be placed face down.Secure larger dishwasher-safe plastics over two tines when possible.Make sure small plastic items are secure so they can’t fall onto the heater.Be sure that items do not protrude through the bottom of the rack and block rotation of themiddle spray arm. This could result in poor wash performance for items in the upper rack.Check to make sure that tall items will not block rotation of the top wash arm.The Wash TowerKeep the center area clear in the lower rack.The wash tower rises through the center of the lower rack during thewash and rinse portions of the cycle.
