What is it size

Connie from Leichhardt7y · C1 DW60FC1W1

I have just bought a house with this dishwasher in the kitchen. Can the top tray be raised? I can’t put bigger plates in as the top rotating arm keeps knocking them. It isn’t clear from the operating manual how to do this. Can you help please?

Hi Connie, We had the exact same problem when we first purchased it & we were ready to return it, but we since found out, yes, you can adjust the height. It is not easy to find in the instructions, but they are on the "Quick Start Guide" in the download section of the Fisher & Paykel website for that machine type. I will try to post the link here if it allows me. The instructions are on the last page under "Adjusting the height of the upper basket" paragraph.

Let me know if you can see/open this link, otherwise I will try to get it to you some other way.

Yes, I was able to see it. Thank you so much!

Yes the top rack can be raised to make space for plates on the bottom. I just had the same problem, it's stupid how the dishwasher comes with a lowered top rack by default. Some people have never figured out how to raise it and have no room for plates by looking at some of the reviews and photos on here. I guess you get stupid stuff like that happening when a Chinese company buys out, things just don't work properly.

Anyway on the top rack the rubber seals push sideways in an outwards motion off the front arms, the rack can be then pulled out and placed back in on the other set of wheels to make it go higher. Not the most intuitive way to set the height but it works. I would add a photo of the instruction manual with this process here, but there is no options to add photos here in the Q and A section!
