DISHWASHER LOADING
Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard items from the dishes. To conserve water and energy and
save time, it is not necessary to rinse dishes before putting them into the dishwasher.

The wash module removes food particles from the water. The module contains a triple action filtration system that intermittently filters soil from the water.
NOTE: If hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts, and eggshells enter the wash module, you might hear grinding, crunching, or buzzing sounds. These sounds are normal when hard items enter the module. To avoid damage to the dishwasher,
do not let metallic items (such as pot handle screws) get into the wash module.
•For best drying, water must be able to drain from all surfaces.
•It is important for the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces.
•Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping if possible.
•Load heavy pots and pans gently. Heavy items can damage the interior of the door if they are dropped or bumped.
The top rack is designed for cups, glasses, and smaller items. Many items, up to 9" (22 cm), fit in the top rack. (See recommended loading patterns shown.)
NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the drawings shown.

•Conserve water and energy and save time over hand rinsing by running 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.
•Place items so open ends face down for best cleaning and draining.

•China, crystal, and other delicate items must not touch each other during dishwasher operation. Damage may occur.
•Load lightweight plastic items in the top rack only. Only plastic items marked "dishwasher safe" are recommended.
•Load plastic items so the force of the spray does not move them during the cycle.
•To avoid chipping, do not let stemware touch other items.
•Small bowls, pans, and other utensils can be placed in the top rack. Load bowls in the center section for most stability.
