LOADING YOUR
DISHWASHER
Loading Suggestions
Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard items from the dishes. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. The
wash module removes food particles from the water. The module contains a chopping device which will reduce the size of food items.
NOTE: If hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts, and egg shells enter the wash module, you might hear chopping, grinding, crunching, or buzzing sounds. These sounds are normal when hard items enter the module. Do not let metallic items (such as pot handle screws) get into the wash module. Damage can.occur.
•Load dishes so soiled surfaces face the spray (down or
inward). It is important for the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces•
•Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping if
possible. For best drying, water must be able to drain from all surfaces.
•Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets, etc., do not interfere with the spray arm rotation.
Run a rinse cycle to keep dishes moist if you do not plan to wash them soon, Foods like eggs, rice, pasta, spinach, and cooked cereals may be hard to remove if they are left to dry over a period of time.
Quiet operating tips
To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation:
•Make sure lightweight load items are secured in the racks,
•Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets, etc., do not touch interior walls or interfere with the rotation of the spray arm.
•Load dishes so they do not touch one another.
