Proper Loading Continued

Mixed load y

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 either the upper or lower spray arm. Spray arms must move freely.

. 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.

. Do not place items directly over spray tower.

Utensil load

. 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:

lDo not load glasses, cups or plastic items in the bottom rack.

. When lower rack is removed, replace with bumpers in front.

Silverware basket loading

Load forks and spoons so they don’t nest together. Spray can’t reach nested items.

Mix items in each section of the basket. Small items - baby bottle caps, jar lids, etc. -can be put in any section.

The silverware basket can be loaded while it’s in place on the door, or it can be taken out for loading on the counter or table.

It can also be removed for easy unloading. Always unload or remove the basket before un- loading the racks to avoid spilling water droplets on the silverware.

To remove the basket, slide it toward the top of the door-by the handle. Lift it off the holding buttons. Replace it in reverse order.

To open the basket, unhook the latch as shown. Be sure the cover is completely latched before pulling out the bottom rack and before closing the dishwasher door.

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