Loading Your Dishwasher

This section tells how to properly load your dishwasher for best washing and rinsing results.

Preparing to load the

l To save water and energy, do not rinse dishes before putting them into the dishwasher.

l Remove large pieces of food, bones, and other hard items. The POWER CLEANTM module removes food particles from the water. The module contains a chopping device which reduces the size of food items. NOTE: If hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts, and egg shells enter the POWER CLEAN module, you might hear chopping, grinding, crunching, or buzzing sounds. Those sounds are normal when hard items enter the module. Do not let metallic items (such as pot handle screws) get into the POWER CLEAN module. Damage can occur.

l Foods like eggs, rice, pasta, and cooked cereals may be hard to remove if left to dry over a period of time. Run a Rinse/Wash Later cycle to keep dishes moist if you do not plan to wash them soon.

l Load dishes so soiled surfaces face the rotating spray arm.

l Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping. It is important for the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces for best washing. For best drying, water must be able to drain from all surfaces.

Loading for quiet operation

l Secure lightweight load items in the racks.

l Pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets, etc., should not touch interior walls, interfere with the spray arm’s rotation, or cover the spray tower.

l Load dishes so they do not touch one another.

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

Loading the cutlery basket

Use the cutlery basket to hold long items. Always unload or remove the cutlery basket before unloading the racks to avoid spilling water on the cutlery.

IMPORTANT: Remove the basket and tip the contents onto a cutting board to unload. This helps avoid accidents with sharp points and edges.

To remove the cutlery basket:

1.Grasp the basket on both sides and slide it toward the top of the door.

2.Lift the basket off the holding buttons.

To replace the cutlery basket:

1.Set the basket on the holding buttons.

2.Slide the basket toward the bottom of the door until it locks into place.
