The lower rack is best used for plates, saucers, and

racks should go along the right-hand side. Load
platters, pots and bowls along the sides, in comers,
or in the back The soiled side of items should face
the center of the rack If necessary, oversized
glasses and mugs can be placed in the lower rack
to maximize loading flexibility.
.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 _a.shing results
Fold-down fingers (on some models) provide
flexibility for extra-large and hard-to-fit items
The fingers may be left in the up position or
