Loading Suggestions
Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other
■
hard items from the dishes. It is not necessary to rinse
the dishes before putting them into the dishwasher.
NOTE: Prerinsing dishes soiled with tomato-based
products is recommended to avoid staining the
dishware.
The wash module removes food particles from the
water.
It is important for the water spray to reach all soiled
■
surfaces.
Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping, if
■
possible. For best drying, water must be able to drain
from all surfaces.
Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie
■
sheets, etc., do not interfere with the spray arm
rotation.
Run a rinse cycle to keep dishes moist if you do not
■
plan to wash them soon. Foods such as eggs, rice,
pasta, spinach, and cooked cereals may be hard to
remove if they are left to dry over a period of time.
Quiet operating tips
To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation:
Make sure lightweight load items are secured in the
■
racks.
Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie
■
sheets, etc., do not touch interior walls or interfere with
the rotation of the spray arm.
Load dishes so they do not touch one another.

DISHWASHER LOADING
Loading Top Rack
The top rack is designed for cups, glasses, and smaller
items. (See recommended loading patterns shown.)
NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary
from the drawings shown.
Cup and glass load
Mixed load
Place items so open ends face down for cleaning and
■
draining.
Load glasses in top rack only. The bottom rack is not
■
designed for glasses. Damage can occur.
■
Place cups and glasses in the rows between tines.
Placing them over the tines can lead to breakage.
China, crystal, and other delicate items must not touch
■
each other during dishwasher operation. Damage may
occur.
■
Load plastic items in the top rack only. Only plastic
items marked "dishwasher safe" are recommended.
Load plastic items so the force of the spray does not
■
move them during the cycle.
■
To avoid chipping, do not let stemware touch other
items.
Small bowls, pans, and other utensils can be placed in
■
the top rack. Load bowls in the center section for best
stability.
