The Adjustable Upper Rack (select models) can be raised to accommodate taller plates, platters, pans, etc. loaded in the lower rack. To raise the rack: • Pull the rack fully out. • Grasp the handle on the rear right side of the rack. • Lift and pull the rack slightly forward to lock up into place. To lower the rack: • Pull the rack fully out. • Grasp the handle on the rear right side of the rack. • Lift and push the rack slightly back to lock back down into place. Loading (continued) Removing the Upper Rack The upper rack can be removed when tall or oversized items need to be loaded into the lower rack. Note: Avoid resting items over the center wash tower. To remove: • Roll the upper rack 1/3 to 1/2 of the way out. • Remove the plastic rack stop from the end of each track. To remove each plastic rack stop, push inward (towards the rack) on the ridged area of the rack stop. The rack stop will snap open and can be easily removed by pulling straight out. Take care to support the track while removing rack stops. • Roll the rack all the way out of the track and remove from the dishwasher. • Reverse the above procedure to replace the upper rack into the dishwasher. 4 Split & Fit™ Utensil Basket The split silverware basket can be separated and placed in several locations in the bottom rack. Hold the basket firmly along the sides. Follow the unlock direction arrows imprinted on the basket and slide the basket apart until it splits into two. Load flatware and utensils into both sections or just one, depending upon your load. For best cleaning results, prevent items from nesting together by placing some items in the basket with handles up and some with handles down. Load knives, handles up, through the slots in the hinged covered section( s) (when closed). Be sure that thin, finely pointed items do not extend through the basket. This could block the lower wash arm. Small, lightweight items like baby spoons and plastic measuring spoons should be placed in the section(s) with the hinged cover(s). Odds & Ends Basket Use this supplemental basket in the upper rack for loading miscellaneous items and utensils. This is also a safe place to load sharp knives and pointed items. Rack Stop Dishwashing Essentials Hot Water glass in the sink. Place a candy thermometer in the glass For optimal cleaning and drying results, hot water and check the temperature once it has stopped rising. If is necessary.

Before starting the dishwasher, turn on the hot water faucet and let it run until the water is hot. This assures To check the incoming water temperature, turn on the hot that the initial fill of water is hot. water faucet nearest the dishwasher and let it run into a Detergent Use a detergent designed specifically for use in an automatic dishwasher. Be sure it is fresh and stored in a cool, dry place (not under the sink). Recommended Amount The amount of detergent to use depends on the water hardness* (measured in grains per gallon –– gpg) and the amount of soil on the dishes. Too little detergent results in poor cleaning, hard water filming/spotting and poor drying. Too much detergent can cause permanent etching/cloudiness. As a rule, use 1 teaspoon of detergent per grain of water hardness. In soft water, a minimum of 3 teaspoons is recommended. Water Hardness* Detergent Amount per Cup Soft (0-3 gpg) 3 teaspoons Medium (4-9 gpg) 4-9 teaspoons Hard (10-12 gpg) 10-12 teaspoons *Your local water utility or state university extension service can tell you the degree of water hardness in your area. For water hardness of 13-14 gpg add more detergent (1 teaspoon for each gpg above 12) to the beginning of the main wash portion of the cycle. Unlatch the door, open it slowly and add detergent to the bottom of the tub. If water hardness is 15 gpg or harder, it is difficult to achieve good results with any dishwasher. The solution is a mechanical water softener to improve water quality, detergent effectiveness, and protect the dishwasher parts from the damage that hard water deposits can cause. Detergent Placement The recommended amount of detergent is the per cup dosage. Do not divide this amount between cups. Each line in the detergent cup represents 3 teaspoons. Add detergent and close the cover just before starting the cycle. The detergent automatically dispenses. For Auto Clean, place the recommended amount of detergent in both the PREWASH and MAIN WASH cups when dishes are not prerinsed. If dishes ARE prerinsed place detergent in the MAIN WASH cup only. For Heavy or Normal Wash, place the recommended amount of detergent in both the PRE WASH and MAIN WASH cups. Light Wash requires detergent in the MAIN WASH cup only. Do not use detergent with Rinse Only. Leave the detergent cup lid open when running Rinse Only....
