ABSTRACT:
An improved dishwasher is provided with a lower rack, a middle rack, and an upper rack. Each rack has a spray arm associated therewith. A fourth spray arm may also be provided for enhanced cleaning of objects in the racks. The lower rack is a low profile tineless rack for holding flat and shallow objects. The middle and upper racks have bottom portions sloping in opposite directions so as to accommodate larger items, such as dinner plates, in each rack. The middle and upper racks are independently vertically adjustable with respect to one another.
