LoadingSilverwareBasket

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

Mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing up and some down to avoid nesting. Spray cannot reach nested items.

IMPORTANT: Always load items (knives, skewers, etc.) pointing down.

NOTES:

■Do not load silver or silver-plated silverware with stainless steel. These metals can be damaged by contact with each other during washing.

■Some foods (such as salt, vinegar, milk products, fruit juices, etc.) can pit or corrode silverware. Run a rinse cycle if you do not have a full load to wash immediately.

DISHWASHER USE

DetergentUse

The detergent cup, located on the inside of the dishwasher lid, empties detergent into the dishwasher when you close the lid.

■Use automatic dishwashing detergent only. Other detergents can produce excessive suds that can overflow out of the dishwasher and reduce washing performance.

■Add detergent just before starting a cycle.

■Store tightly closed detergent in a cool, dry place. Using fresh, automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning.

NOTE: Do not use detergent with a rinse cycle.

How much detergent to use

■The amount of detergent to use depends on the hardness of your water and the type of detergent. If you use too little, dishes won’t be clean. If you use too much in soft water, glassware will etch.

■Water hardness can change over a period of time. Find out your water’s hardness by asking your local water department, water softener company, or county extension agent.

■You can order a water hardness test strip. Call us or your nearest designated service center and ask for Part Number 4171690. (See “Assistance or Service.”)

■Different brands of dishwasher detergent have different amounts of phosphorus for softening water. If you have hard water and use a detergent with a phosphorous content of less than 8.7%, you might need to use more detergent, or use a detergent with a phosphorous content higher than 8.7%.
