Preparing and Loading Dishes (continued)
Loading the Bottom Rack
Features and appearance of racks and silverware basket may vary from your model.
Make sure tall items do not block spray arm rotation.
Place plates and platters so that they do not touch.
Place bowls, casseroles and sauce pans with the soiled surface facing down or toward the center. Tilt slightly for better drainage.
Be sure pan handles do not protrude through the bottom of the rack and block the spray arm rotation.
Loading the Silverware Basket
Mix spoons, forks and knives to prevent nesting. Mixing items gives better cleaning and drying.
For safety, load sharp knives and forks with handles up.
Be sure nothing protrudes through bottom of basket or rack to block the spray arm.
Do not mix silver and stainless to avoid damaging the silver finish.
