PREPARING AND LOADING DISHES

Fold-down Tines (available select models)

The fold-down tines in the lower rack make easy loading for those extra large and hard-to-fit items. The tines may be left up for normal use or folded down for more flexible loading. Fold down for more space to load large pots or pans.

Loading the Silverware Basket

Features and appearance of racks and silverware basket may vary from your model.

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

Place small items like baby bottle caps, jar lids, corn cob holders, etc., in a covered section. Close the cover to hold small items in place.

Use suggested loading patterns, as shown, to increase washability of your silverware.

Be sure nothing protrudes through bottom of basket or rack to block the spray arm.

Do not mix silver and stainless to avoid damaging the silver finish.

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

all sections or just one, depending on your load.

When covers are up, mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing up and some down to avoid nesting. Water spray cannot reach nested items.

Adding a Dish

To add or remove items after wash cycle starts:

•Unlatch door and wait a few seconds until wash action stops before opening.

•Add the item and wait a few seconds to allow cold air to slowly expand inside dishwasher.

•Close door firmly to latch and resume cycle.

CAUTION

Load sharp items (knives, skewers, etc.) pointing down.

Failure to do so may result in injury.

DISHWASHER DISPENSER & DETERGENTS

Filling the Detergent Dispenser

The detergent dispenser has one covered and one uncovered cup. Detergent in the uncovered cup falls into the dishwasher when the door is closed. The covered cup opens automatically to release detergent.

•Use only fresh automatic dishwashing detergent. Other detergents may cause oversudsing.

•If detergent packs or tabs do not fully dissolve at the end of the cycle, place pack or tab directly on the bottom of the dishwasher and close the dispenser cover.

•When using automatic dishwashing detergent tabs, or pacs place one tab in main wash cup and close.

•Add detergent just before starting cycle.

•Store detergent in a cool, dry location. Moist or caked detergent may not dissolve properly.
