Using Your Dishwasher, Detergent Dispenser

Loadingthe

SilverwareBasket

Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom rack or take the basket out for loading on a counter or table.

NOTE: Unload or remove the basket before unloading the racks to avoid spilling water droplets on the silverware.

Place small items like baby bottle caps, jar lids, corn cob holders, etc., in the section(s) with hinged cover(s). Close the cover to hold small items in place (on some models).

USING YOUR

DISHWASHER

Detergent Dispenser

The detergent dispenser has 2 sections. The Pre-Wash

section empties detergent into the dishwasher when you close the door.

This silverware basket can be separated and placed into the bottom rack in several locations. Load

silverware in all sections or just one, depending upon your load.

Mix items in each section of the basket with some

pointing up and some down to avoid nesting. Spray cannot reach nested items.

IMPORTANT; Always load sharp items (knives, skewers,

forks, etc.) pointing down.

1.Cover

2.Main wash section

3.Cover latch

4.Pre-wash section

The larger Main Wash section automatically empties detergent into the dishwasher during the main wash. (See the "Cycle Selection Chart.")

Use automatic dishwashing detergent only. Other detergents can produce excessive suds that can

overflow out of the dishwasher and reduce washing performance.

•Add detergent just before starting cycle.

•Store tightly closed detergent in a cool, dry place. Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning.

NOTE: Do not use detergent with a rinse cycle.

To remove a small basket

1.Hold the center basket and one small basket. Slide the small basket forward to release the tabs from the corresponding slots.

2.Pull the baskets apart.

NOTES:

•Do not load silver or silver-plated silverware with

stainless steel. These metals can be damaged by contact with each other during washing.

•Some foods (such as salt, vinegar, milk products, fruit juices, etc.) can pit or corrode silverware. Run a rinse cycle if you do not have a full load to wash immediately.

Filling the dispenser

1.If the dispenser cover is closed, open the cover by pushing the Cover latch.

2.Fill the Main Wash section with detergent. See "How Much Detergent to Use."

3.Close the Main Wash dispenser cover. Fill the Pre- Wash section if needed.

It is normal for the cover to open partially when dispensing detergent.

NOTE: Use both sections for cycles with 2 washes. Use

only the covered section for cycles with 1 wash. See the "Cycle Selection Chart" for more details.
