PREPARING AND LOADING DISHES

Loading the Top Rack

Glasses and cups—Place glasses and cups against outside pins at an angle. Cups with a concave

bottom will collect water.

Small plates and saucers—Place dishes

between middle two rows of pins.

Plasticware—Load plasticware in the top rack to avoid melting.

Bowls—Place bowls between the middle 2 rows of pins facing down.

Miscellaneous items—Place long handled

knives and utensils in top rack.

Cup Shelf—The cup shelf can be folded down over short items (juice glasses, cups, etc.) for more loading

space. When using cup shelf, alternate items with layer below so that water can reach all inside surfaces.

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 pans—Place upside down and at an angle. Do not allow handles to protrude through 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.
