Be careful to separate items so spray can reach all surfaces. Top rack loading CUP AND GLASS LOAD The top rack is designed for cups, glasses and smaller items.
Bottom rack loading l Make sure pot handles and other items do not stop rotation of either the upper or lower spray arm. Spray arms must move freely. l Securely place heavily soiled cookware face down in rack. A UTENSIL LOAD l Load cookie sheets, cake pans and other large items at sides and back.
