■ Make sure nothing keeps spray arm(s) from spinning freely. It is important for the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces.
■Make sure that when the dishwasher door is closed, no items are blocking the detergent dispenser.
■Items should be loaded with soiled surfaces facing down and inward to the spray as shown. This will improve cleaning and drying results.
■Avoid overlapping items like bowls or plates that may trap food.
■Place plastics, small plates and glasses in the upper rack. Wash only plastic items marked “dishwasher safe.”
■To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation: Load dishes so they do not touch one another. Make sure lightweight load items are secured in the racks.
■ When loading silverware, always place sharp items pointing down. Mix other items pointing up and some pointing down.
STEP 2

■Use automatic dishwasher detergent only. Add powder, liquid or tablet detergent just before starting a cycle.
