Preparing and Loading Dishes
Loading the Bottom Rack
Large plates and platters—Place
between the support pins with soiled sides facing inward.
Bowls, casseroles and sauce
pans— Load upside down or at an angle facing inward. Slightly tilting items will provide better
drainage.
Pots and
bottom of rack, blocking wash arm rotation. Load large items at the sides and not across the front so they do not block the detergent dispenser preventing it from opening.
Loading the Silverware Basket
Load sharp items with handles up. Be sure items do not protrude through the holes in the basket and stop the rotation of the spray arm.
Load silverware so items are mixed in each section to prevent nesting. Water spray cannot effectively reach nested items.
DO NOT block the center area of the lower rack when loading. Because the center wash
tower extends through this area, blockage may result in poor cleaning.
Adding a Dish
1. Make sure there is a full wash cycle yet to be completed so that any added items are thoroughly washed and rinsed.
2. Unlatch door and wait for water action to stop.
3. Open door and add dish.
4. Firmly close door to latch and resume cycle.
