Loading Dishes into the Lower Rack

Lower Rack Loading Tips:

Plates should be positioned upright and facing the center of the rack, and pots, pans and large dishes must be turned upside down.Load dinner plates, dishes, soup bowls, etc. between the tines.Load cookie sheets, cake pans and other large items at the sides or back of the rack. Loading these items in the front of the dishwasher can prevent the water spray from reaching the detergent dispenser.Make sure that pot handles and other large items do not stop the rotation of the spray arms.The lower rack should not be used for small items such as cups, wine glasses, or small plates. These items should be loaded in the upper rack.Make sure that large items do not interfere with the rotation of the spray arms, and do not prevent the detergent dispenser from opening.
