Do not load glasses, cups, or plastic items in the bottom
rack. Load small items in the bottom rack only if they are
secured in place.
Load plates, soup bowls, etc., between tines and facing
inward to the spray.
Overlap the edges of plates for large loads.
Load soup, cereal, and serving bowls in the rack in a variety
of ways depending
upon their size and shape. Load bowls
securely between the rows of tines. Do not nest bowls
because the spray will not reach all surfaces.
12 place setting
•
Load cookie sheets, cake pans, and other large items at the
sides and back. Loading such items in front can keep the
water spray from reaching the detergent dispenser.
•
Secure heavily soiled cookware face down in the rack.
•
Make sure pot handles and other items do not stop rotation
of the spray arm(s). The spray arm(s) must move freely.
•
Do not load items between the bottom rack and the side of
the dishwasher tub because they might block the water inlet
opening.
NOTE: If you have removed the bottom rack for unloading or
cleaning, replace it with the bumpers in front.
Load the silverware basket while it is in the dishwasher or take
the basket out for loading on a counter or table.
IMPORTANT: Always load items (knives, skewers, etc.) pointing
down.
•
Place small items such as baby bottle caps, jar lids, corncob
holders, etc., in a covered section. Close the cover to hold
small items in place.
When covers are up, mix items in each section of the basket
with some pointing up and some down to avoid nesting.
Spray cannot reach nested items.
NOTES:
•
Do not load silver or silver-plated silverware with stainless
steel. These metals can be damaged by contact with each
other during washing.
•
Some foods (such as salt, vinegar, milk products, fruit juices,
etc.) can pit or corrode silverware. Run a rinse cycle if you do
not have a full load to wash immediately.
•
Unload or remove the basket before unloading the racks to
avoid spilling water droplets onto the silverware.
DISHWASHER USE
The detergent dispenser has 2 sections. The Pre-Wash section
empties detergent into the dishwasher when you close the door.
A
B
C D
A. Cover
B. Main Wash section
C. Cover latch
D. Pre-Wash section
The larger Main Wash section automatically
empties detergent
into the dishwasher
during the main wash. (See "Cycle Selection
Charts.")
•
Use automatic dishwashing detergent only. Other detergents
can produce excessive suds that can overflow out of the
dishwasher and reduce washing performance.
•
Add detergent just before starting a cycle.
