Lower Rack; Silverware Basket - GE GLDT690 Series Owner's Manual

Lower Rack

When loading the lower rack, do not load large platters or trays in the front left corner. They may prevent detergent from circulating
during the wash cycle.
The lower rack is best used for plates, saucers and cookware. Large items should go along the sides. Load platters, pots and bowls
along the sides, in corners or in the back. The soiled side of items should face the center of the rack.
Be careful not to let a portion of any item such as a pot or dish handle extend through the bottom rack. This could block the wash arm
and cause poor washing results.

Silverware Basket

The silverware basket may be used without the lid for quick loading.
With the lid, flatware is better positioned for the dishwasher to
thoroughly wash and dry all pieces by preventing nesting.
Without the lid
Put the flatware in the removable basket with fork and knife handles up
to protect your hands. Place spoons in the basket with handles down.
Mix knives, forks and spoons so they don't nest together. Distribute
evenly. Small plastic items, such as measuring spoons and lids from
small containers, should go in the bottom of the silverware basket with
silverware on top.
With the lid
Place small plastic items, such as measuring spoons and lids from small
containers, in the bottom of the basket and snap the lid in place. Insert
spoons and forks, handles first, through the holes in the lid. Place knives,
blades first, through the holes in the lid.
