Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a dishwasher (10) for treating dishes according to an automatic cycle of operation. The dishwasher (10) comprises a tub (14), a spray system, a low profile dish rack (220) and a spray tube (232). The tub (14) defines a treating chamber (16) receiving dishes for treatment. The spray system provides treating liquid to the treating chamber (16). The low profile dish rack (220) is located in the tub (14) and has a bottom wall (228) and a side wall (222) extending upwardly from the bottom wall (228). A depending portion (242) extends downwardly from the bottom wall (228) and is oriented at an angle to the bottom wall (228) to define an incline angle. The spray tube (232) is carried by the dish rack (120, 220) and is located below the bottom wall (228). According to the invention, the spray tube (232) has a non-circular cross-sectional shape having nozzles (238A, 238B) emitting spray into the depending portion (242).
