Special Instructions

Some darkening or spotting possible. Remove by

If in doubt, check with the manufacturer. Or test wash one piece daily for at least a month. Compare with the rest of the set.

Load securely to prevent movement. Check your manufacturer’s instructions for your crystal.

If it doesn’t say DISHWASHER SME, test one piece in the top rack before dishwashing an entire set.

Rinse if not washing immediately. Salty or acid foods can stain if left on.

Rinse if not washing immediately. Salty or acid foods can stain if left on. Dry detergent can cause difficult-to-remove black spots. Place in back section of silverware basket to avoid exposure to detergent from the detergent cup.

After washing, wipe the non-stick coating area with vegetable oil to keep it from losing its non-stick quality.

Forget a dish? Here’s when you can add it.

Add dishes any time during the RINSE & HOLD cycle. With other wash cycles, you can add dishes

at any time BEFORE the main detergent wash portion of the cycle.

However, opening the door during any cycle lessens cleaning power. So try to load everything at the beginning.

Here’s how to add a forgotten dish:

1.Push the door latch to the left. Washing will stop.

2.Wait a few seconds until the water calms. Then open the door. WARNING: Hot vapor may rise from opened door.

3.Add dishes you’ve forgotten.

4.Close the door and push the latch to the far right. When the door is locked, washing will continue.
