DISHWASHER LOADING

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 into the dishwasher.

NOTE: Prerinsing dishes soiled with tomato-based products is recommended to avoid staining the dishware.

The wash module removes food particles from the water.

■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 such as 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.
