KitchenAid 119 User Manual

The top rack is designed for cups, glasses, and smaller items. 
Many items, up to 9 in. (22 cm), fit in the top rack. (See 
recommended loading patterns shown.)

NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the 
drawings shown.

■

Place items so open ends face down for cleaning and 
draining.

■

Load glasses and cups in top rack only. The bottom rack is 
not designed for glasses and cups. Damage can occur.

■

Place cups and glasses in the rows between tines. Placing 
them over the tines can lead to breakage and water spots.

■

China, crystal, and other delicate items must not touch each 
other during dishwasher operation. Damage may occur.

■

Load plastic items in the top rack only. Only plastic items 
marked “dishwasher safe” are recommended.

■

Load plastic items so the force of the spray does not move 
them during the cycle.

■

To avoid chipping, do not let stemware touch other items.

■

Small bowls, pans, and other utensils can be placed in the 
top rack. Load bowls in the center section for best stability.

The bottom rack is designed for plates, pans, casseroles, and 
utensils. Many items, up to 13 in. (33 cm) tall, fit in the bottom 
rack. (See recommended loading patterns shown.)

NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the 
drawings shown. 

■

Do not load glasses, cups, or plastic items in the bottom 
rack. Load small items in the bottom rack only if they are 
secured in place.

■

Load plates, soup bowls, etc., between tines.

■

Overlap the edges of plates for large loads.

■

Load soup, cereal, and serving bowls in the rack in a variety 
of ways depending upon their size and shape. Load bowls 
securely between the rows of tines. Do not nest bowls 
because the spray will not reach all surfaces.
