Thermador DW44ZW, DW44ZP, DW44ZSB manual Loading the Dishwasher

Pre-Load Preparation

•Remove large particles of food from the dishes before food has a chance to dry but rinsing is not necessary.

Food soils will actually enhance the detergent’s performance.

•Use the Rinse Only cycle if waiting an extended period of time before washing.

•Pre-soak and hand-scour pots and pans with burned-on or blackened food.

•Do not place foreign objects, such as toothpicks, paper products, plastic bags, or packaging materials, into the dishwasher!

Before loading the dishwasher, review the material chart pro- vided on Page 5.

General Loading Tips

•Load dishwasher so water can circulate freely and reach every part of item.

•Do not allow delicate items to touch; they could be damaged.

•Place items upside down so water does not collect inside of them.

•Place items so that nothing protrudes through the bottom of the racks; this could block the rotation of the spray arms.

Loading the Bottom Rack

Place large and/or heavily soiled items in the bottom rack of the dishwasher. Load heavily soiled pots and pans face down, as shown in Figure 4.

For larger items, fold down the rear tines on the bot- tom rack. When in the down position, they can hold extra large utensils, such as serving spoons or large knives.
