Proper Loading

Continued

Bottom rack loading

Items with cooked-on or dried-on food should

be loaded in the bottom rack, with soiled surfaces facing inward to the spray.

Mixed load

Make sure pot handles and other items do not stop rotation of the lower spray arm. Spray arm must move freely.

Load items so they do not block or cover the spray tower.

Securely place heavily soiled cookware face down in rack.

	Dish load
	l Place plates, soup bowls, etc., between prongs
	and facing inward to the spray.
	l Do not place items directly over spray tower.
	Utensil	load
	l Load cookie sheets, cake pans and other large
	items at sides and back. Loading such items in
	front may keep water spray from reaching
	detergent		dispenser.
	NOTE:
	. Do not load glasses, cups or plastic items in the
	bottom	rack.
	l When lower rack is removed, replace with
Utensil load	bumpers		in front.
	Silverware		basket loading
	Load the silverware basket while it’s in or out of
	the bottom rack. The loaded basket should be in
	the center front (over the spray tower) of the
	bottom	rack.
	Load forks and spoons so they don’t nest

together. Spray can’t reach nested items.

Mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing up and some down.

Small items - baby bottle caps, jar lids, etc. - can be put in any section.

Personal Injury Hazard

To avoid cuts from sharp items (knives, forks, skewers, etc.), make sure these items are put in point down.

and facing inward to the spray.
