KitchenAid KDTM384ESS-SS Owner's Manual

Sliding lower-rack tines that 
move left or right to fit your 
dishes. You can use this 
feature to fit larger items like 
cereal bowls or other odd 
shaped items.

Use the utensil basket to hold specialty 
cooking utensils (serving spoons, 
spatulas, and similar items), or overflow 
silverware items.

The basket hangs on the bottom rack in 
the right-hand corner. Load the basket 
while it is on the bottom rack or remove 
the basket for loading on a counter or 
table. 

NOTE: Spin the spray arms. Be sure 
items in the basket do not stop the 
rotation of the spray arms.

The Dynamic Lower 
Spray Arm is motor 
driven and will not spin 
unless the dishwasher 
is running.

The motor assures just 
the right spin for 
thorough and effective 
cleaning.

NOTE: If the spray arm 
becomes blocked for 
any reason during the cycle, you may hear a ticking sound. Open 
the dishwasher and remove the blockage. Press START/RESUME 
and close the door to continue the cycle.

The removable top 
rack allows you to 
wash larger items 
such as pots, 
roasters, and cookie 
sheets in the bottom 
rack.

IMPORTANT: 
Remove dishes prior 
to removing the top 
rack from the 
dishwasher.

To gain access to the removable tabs on the tracks/rails, pull the 
upper rack forward about halfway out of the tub.

On one side, press the tab on the track in and pull up the front end 
of the rack out of the track. Then repeat this step on the other side 
to completely remove the front end of the rack.   

Then remove the rack by pulling the back end out using a forward 
and upward motion.

Pull the tracks forward about halfway out of the tub.

Along the sides of the racks are round attachment tabs. Align the 
rack's back end attachment tabs with the cutout in the track. Push 
down into place.

Pull the tracks completely out, and align the rack's front end 
attachment tabs with the cutout in the track. Push down into place. 
You will hear a snap when the front end of the rack is secured into 
place on each side. 

Up to 6 sports bottles, baby bottles or other narrow items may be 
washed in the upper rack with this feature.
To wash bottles:

1. Select BOTTLE WASH on the control panel. 

2. Flip up any or all six of the nozzles just far enough to fit inside 

your particular item.

3. Securely place items over the nozzles.

When you do not need to wash bottles, flip the nozzles down until 
they stop.

On models with a window, 
interior lighting will 
automatically come on for 10 
minutes when the cycle 
completes. For all models 
with interior lighting the 
lights will come on when the 
door is opened and will shut 
off when the door is shut or 
after 10 minutes of inactivity.
