does it have to be used on the top rack only

I assume so as it's plastic and contact with the heating element will melt it.

I have used it on the top rack because most of the items I put in it are smaller plastic items and lids. However, it seems sturdy enough to try on the bottom rack if you needed to put it there.

This product is plastic. Works great on top rack. The heating element would probably damage it if used on the bottom rack.

No, it's not a problem for anyone used to using most dish racks! My goodness... This is a no-brainer. It's fairly obvious you should put an item in those locations that cannot fall through!

we use mainly on tray of oven.it is not sturdy it self.it needs support.you can also use on wired rack.it helps bottom of things to cook nicely,or it helps cooking of surfaces which are touching to solid surface.it is good product you can use it for fish,meat any thing you oven.

I don't know, but if I were to do it, I would put it on the top rack. I have the large waterer and I just use hot water and the spray nozzle in the sink. I have 6 dogs that use it and it gets pretty grungy, but this cleans it just fine

I think you could as the instructions tell you to put it on the bottom rack itself.

Hi....and I have no clue as I have never done that. This rack is very well made and I have had no problems with it. Sorry I couldn't help.

It is not necessary to install the rack. You can leave the space open. The rack actually does not attach anyway It is inserted loose and can be removed any time.

The plastic bottom is one piece with drain attached and if it's removed there would be no bottom; so no you couldn't use it with the bottom removed. It's a very nice rack though if you just clean the bottom every couple weeks. It fits in the sink nicely.

I did..The rack worked great...Use foil in the bottom of the pan it makes for easier clean up ..and beware of washing it in the dishwasher because over time washing it in the dishwasher causes it to rust

yes, but only on the very top rack. If your looking for a rack to store more than a dozen or so 1.5 ltr bottles this is not for you. However, works great for 750ml bottles.

No. Too many variables -- water temperature, chemical detergents. As some have noted, it seems to work ok on (some) top racks, but the manufacturer clearly does not recommend it. Plus, it is so easy to wash immediately after using -- I use a long handled brush and warm water and it only takes a few seconds. My main concern would be in stressing the plastic to metal bonds as a result of going through the extreme temps of an automatic dishwasher cycle. Why risk this when hand washing is so fast and easy?

Yes. There are two small metal tabs that attach to the sides at the front of the unit. These can be attached to the front of a standard rack. The unit is not very deep. These two tabs are all you need to securely mount the unit to a rack.

I just use it on top. I like it enough my daughter bought one for her home and has been very happy with it

Seems to be just fine. I've put mine on the top rack numerous times and had no issues.

Yes. I would suggest that the rack is covered with foil just in case of over-flow.

I would think so using the rack. That's a question someone else could answer better than me.

I have run mine in top rack without problems-it needs to be close to flat to get small particles out
