actually on.  The layout inside makes it easy to loWow! This is a perfect dishwasher:  It is so quiet that I have to put my ear to it to see if it is ad dishes, silverware, pots and pans or delicate items.  The many selections of wash cycles allows for washing fragile items.  There is a top pull out rack for small flat items that would otherwise bounce around in the washer.  Love this dishwasher.
