DISHWASHER USE

Loading Suggestions

■Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard items from the dishes. To conserve water, energy and save time, it is not necessary to rinse dishes before putting them into the dishwasher. The wash system removes food particles from the water. The system contains a chopping device which will reduce the size of food items.

NOTE: If hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts, and eggshells enter the wash module, you might hear chopping, grinding, crunching, or buzzing sounds. These sounds are normal when hard items enter the module. Do not let metallic items (such as pot handle screws) get into the wash module. Damage can occur.

■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.

■Load heavy pots and pans gently. Heavy items can dent the stainless steel interior of the door if they are dropped or bumped.

■Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets, etc., do not interfere with the spray arm rotation.

■Conserve water, energy and save time by running a rinse cycle if you do not plan to wash dishes 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.
