ForBestResults

Hot water is a must

For best cleaning and drying results, water should be at least 140°F (So%).

1.Turn on hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher. Let water run until it is as hot as possible.

2.Hold a candy or meat thermometer

in the stream of hot water to measure the temperature.

3.If the temperature is too low, have a qualified person raise the water heater thermostat setting.

Quiet operating tips

To avoid thumping and clattering noises during operation:

l Make sure lightweight load items are secured in the rack.

l Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets, etc. do not touch interior walls, interfere with the spray arm rotation or cover spray tower.

l Load dishes so they don’t touch one another.

NOTE: Keep sink drain plugs inserted during dishwasher operation to prevent noise transfer through drains.

Specialtips

Remember, use your dishwasher only for the job it was designed to do. Some items are not dishwasher safe or may require special care.

Read these special tips for the following items:

Aluminum: Aluminum loses its bright, shiny appearance and darkens in color due to minerals in the water and the alkalinity of the dishwasher detergent. Colored aluminum may fade.

TIPS: If washed in the dishwasher avoid placing directly in front of detergent dispenser where it could be sprinkled with undissolved detergent, causing spotting, pitting, and discoloration. Follow utensil manufacturers’ cleaning instructions.

China: Check manufacturers’ recommendations. Hand-painted, metal-trimmed, and antique china fade due to high water temperatures and alkaline detergent solution in the dishwasher.

NOTE: Delicate, antique items should not be washed in the dishwasher.

TIPS: Load china carefully. Do not allow pieces to touch each other. Test one piece by washing it daily in the dishwasher for several weeks. Then compare it with the rest of the set to see if colors have changed.

Crystal and decorative glasses: Crystal can break from sudden exposure to high water temper- ature. Metal trim and colorful decoration on glass will fade in time when washed in the dishwasher. NOTE: Delicate, antique items should not be washed in the dishwasher.

TIPS: Load crystal carefully in top rack

only. Be sure to load a few larger items in the bottom rack to reduce amount of force of water spray reaching glassware from lower spray arm. Use the shortest cycle.

Flatware: Salty and acidic food may tarnish silver and stainless flatware if allowed to remain on the utensils. A film may form on sterling silver and silver plate items washed in a dishwasher. This film is caused by reaction of silver with chlorine in the detergent. Gold flatware is not dishwasher safe. The adhesive used in some flatware with hollow handles is not heat resistant, causing the handles to come off in the dishwasher. Wash by hand.

TIPS: Rinse flatware as soon as possible, especially if it is not to be washed right away. Dishwasher detergent may remove antique finishes. Wash by hand. Tarnish and film build-up can be removed with silver polish.

Cast iron utensils: The seasoned finish will be removed in the dishwasher. Rusting will result.

TIPS: Wash by hand. To re-season, coat with unsalted fat and heat in a slow oven for an hour or two.

Plastics: Many plastics will have “Dishwasher Safe” written on them. Some plastics are heat sensitive and may melt or warp.

TIPS: If in doubt, try one piece. Place in upper rack only. Air Dry Option provides additional protection.

Non-stick finish utensils: Most can be washed in the dishwasher.

TIPS: Follow manufacturers’ suggestions.

Wood: Many wooden items will crack and warp or lose their finish.

TIPS: Do not wash cutting boards, wooden salad bowls or knives with wooden handles in the dishwasher.

Pewter or pewter-like materials: May streak, discolor, and pit.

TIPS: To keep pewter at its very best, hand wash with mild detergent.
