Using Your New Dishwasher

1.Scrape large food soil and hard items (toothpicks or bones) from dishes.

DISHWASHER LOADING

Loading Suggestions

Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard items from the dishes. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher.

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

Load dishes so soiled surfaces face the spray (down or inward). 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.

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

Run a rinse cycle to keep dishes moist if you do not plan to wash them soon. Foods like 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.

NOTE: For built-in models, keep sink drain plugs closed during dishwasher operation to prevent noise transfer through drains.
