Height Adjustable Upper Rack

To accommodate larger items, the upper rack can be adjusted up or down using the buttons on the left and right sides. The dishwasher ships with the upper rack raised.

There are three available positions for adjusting the height of the upper rack to create more space.

Warning
  • Before adjusting, ensure the rack is empty of all dishes. Otherwise dishes may get damaged or you may get injured.

Note
  • Raise the upper rack without pushing the buttons on each side. Pushing the buttons when raising the rack will prevent the rack from locking into position.

  • To set the rack to the middle position, it may be easier to lower the rack all the way down and then raise each side of the rack individually until it clicks into place.

  • Before pushing the upper rack into the dishwasher, ensure the rack height is the same on both sides. If the height is not the same on both sides, the dishwasher door will not shut and the upper spray arm will not connect to the water inlet.

  • There is a 2 3/16 inches (56 mm) gain in height when the upper rack is moved to the lower position.

  • After adjusting the rack levels, check that the spray arms are free to rotate.

  • When the upper rack is in the lower position, make sure the rack and the spray arm do not hit the items on the lower rack.

  • When the upper rack is in the lower position, push in the upper rack first, and the lower rack later.

  • Pull out the lower rack first, and the upper rack later.

Lowering the Rack

Hold the rack at the center of each side to support its weight. Then, push the button on each side to release the rack and lower it into position.

Raising the Rack

Lift the rack at the center of each side until the rack locks into place in the upper position. It is not necessary to lift the lock levers to raise the rack.
