USING THE DISHW

ASHER

Loading

Lower Rack

The lower rack is best used for plates, saucers and 
cookware items. Large items, such as broiler pans and 
baking racks should be placed along the sides of the rack. 
If necessary, oversized glasses and mugs can be placed in 
the lower rack to maximize loading flexibility. Plates, saucers 
and similar items should be placed between the tines in the 
direction that allows the item to remain secure in the rack.

NOTE:

Do not load large items in the lower rack where they may 

block the wash jets from rinsing out the detergent dispenser.

The lower rack 

fold down tines

 (on some models) can 

be adjusted 
to different 
upright 
angles or 
placed flat 
to provide 
flexibility for 
hard-to-fit or 
extra-large 
items. 

The

reversible tine blocks

 (on some models) are designed 

to allow greater flexibility in loading dishes. The direction 
of the tine blocks can be changed to match your preferred 
loading direction as shown in Figure A or Figure B:

To adjust the tine block direction, remove the clips 
securing the tine blocks to the racks by pulling up on the 
tab, then gently flex the retaining wire from the center to 
unseat the tine block from the lower rack. The tine block 
may be turned in the opposite direction to reverse loading 
direction. Secure the tine block to the rack using the same 
process and be sure to snap the clips back in place.

To change the direction of the 

fold down tines

, lower 

the tines, then pull away from the bar clips that secure 
the tines to the rack and remove. Reverse the direction 
of the tines, orienting the handle on the opposite side of 
the rack. Reattach the tines to the bar clips by pushing 
the tines back until they click in place. The indexer will 
also need to be switched to the opposite side of the 
dishwasher. To remove the indexer, simply slide it the 
in the direction labeled “unlock.” Then, align the indexer 
with the rack on the other side and slide in the direction 
that says “lock” in order to reattach the indexer to the 
rack.

IMPORTANT: 

It is important to ensure that items do not 

protrude through the bottom of the rack or the silverware 
basket where they will block the rotation of the lower 
spray arm. Also, ensure that large plates, pots, or tall 
items don’t hit the mid spray arm. This could result in 
noise during operation and/or poor wash performance.

For best dishwashing results, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of racks and silverware baskets 
may vary from your model.
