Loading Your Dishwasher

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

Preparing to load the dishwasher

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

Remove large pieces of food, bones, and other hard items.

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 & HOLD cycle (if available) to keep dishes moist if you do not plan to wash them soon. Load dishes so soiled surfaces face the rotating spray arm.

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 silverware basket

Style 1

Style 2

Personal	Injury Hazard
Load sharp items (knives, forks,
skewers, etc.) with the point down.
Failure to do so could cause personal
injury.
l Load the silverware basket while it is in the
bottom rack or take the basket out for loading
on a counter or table.
NOTE: The loaded basket must be placed in
the center front (Style 1 basket fits over the
spray tower) of the bottom rack for proper
washing.
l Put small items (baby bottle caps, jar lids,
etc.) in any section.
l Mix items in each section of the basket with
some pointing up and some down to avoid
nesting. Spray cannot reach nested items.
However, always load sharp items (knives,
skewers, forks, etc.) pointing down.
l You can also remove the basket for easy
unloading. Always unload or remove the
basket before unloading the racks to avoid
spilling water on	the silverware.	7
