GE GSD1430, Use And Care Manual

our Dishwasher

The lower rack is best used for plates, saucers, and
cookware. Large items such as broiler pans and racks
should go in the lower rack along the edge. Load platters,
pots and bowls along the sides, in corners, or in the back.
For best washing results, all items should be positioned
with soiled side facing the center of the rack.

Put flatware in the removable basket with fork and knife
handles up to protect your hands. Place spoons in the
basket with handles down. Mix knives, forks and
spoons so they don’t nest together. Distribute evenly.

The security cell cover hinged in the handle may 
be lowered to either side to secure light-weight 
items from the effects of the vigorous wash action.

Keep center area clear in the lower rack.

The wash tower rises through the center of the lower
rack during the wash and rinse portions of the cycle.
Don’t block it or load tall things next to it. Also, be
careful not to let a portion of an item such as a pot or
dish handle extend through the bottom rack. This could
block the wash arm and cause poor washing results.

To increase the flexibility of the lower rack, the 
flexible silverware basket may be split. Grasp the
silverware basket at opposite corners and slide apart.
The silverware basket sections should be placed in 
the lower rack by hanging them on the top hoop.

Don’t place the silverware basket in the front right
corner because the detergent could pour into it and
damage silverware.
