How do I adjust the dishwasher rack height?
Adjusting the upper rack height allows you to accommodate various sizes of items in the upper or lower rack so that you can enjoy a more convenient dishwashing time.
Check the Upper and Lower racks in your appliance
The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware, such as glasses, coffee cups, teacups, and saucers as well as plates, small bowls, and shallow pans (if they are not too dirty).
You can adjust the height of the upper rack in your dishwasher so that the lower rack can accommodate larger sized dishes.
Depending on where you set the upper rack height.
- the upper rack (A) can accommodate plates up to 20 cm (8 in.) in diameter.
- the lower rack (B) can accommodate plates up to 30 cm (12 in.) in diameter.
Note: The features and appearance of the racks and cutlery baskets may vary from your model.
How to lower the rack
Step 1. Grab the adjuster handles located at the left and right sides of the upper rack.
Step 2. Then, push the upper rack downwards slightly at the same time.
Note:
- If you do not adjust with the left and right handle together simultaneously, the dishwasher door may not close properly.
- Pull out the upper rack from the tub until it is fully revealed before adjusting the upper rack.
- It is recommended to adjust the height of the upper rack before loading dishes into the rack. If you adjust the rack after loading the dishes, you may damage the dishes.
- The features and appearance of the racks and silverware baskets may vary from your model.
