"One of the biggest mistakes you're making when loading your dishwasher is blocking the upper or lower spray arms from functioning. Tall items can also fall over during the cleaning cycle, preventing water from the lower spray arms or detergent from the door from reaching all of the dishes."
"The best way to load cutting boards, baking sheets, platters, baking dishes, and other tall items is to place them horizontally along the sides or back of the lower rack. This provides clearance for upper and lower spray arms and keeps the dish detergent dispenser clear."
Loading the dishwasher correctly is essential for effective cleaning. The lower rack should hold heavier items like large bowls and baking dishes. Tall items must be placed horizontally to avoid blocking spray arms, which can lead to dirty dishes. It's important to ensure that spray arms can rotate freely. Small or delicate items should not be placed on the lower rack due to potential damage from heat and water pressure. Adjusting racks and angling items can help accommodate taller dishes.
