IMPORTANT: Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard items from the dishes. Remove labels from containers before washing.

■Make sure nothing keeps spray arm(s) from

spinning freely. It is important for the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces.

■Make sure that when the dishwasher door is closed no items are blocking the detergent dispenser.

■Items should be loaded with soiled surfaces facing down and inward to the spray as shown. This will improve cleaning and drying results.

■Avoid overlapping items like bowls or plates that may trap food.

■Place plastics, small plates and glasses in the upper rack. Wash only plastic items marked “dishwasher safe.”

■To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation: Load dishes so they do not touch one another. Make sure lightweight load items are secured in the racks.

■When loading silverware, always place sharp

items pointing down and avoid “nesting” as shown.

Add Detergent

NOTE: If you do not plan to run a wash cycle soon, run a rinse cycle. Do not use detergent.

■Use automatic dishwasher detergent only. Add powder, liquid or tablet detergent just before starting a cycle.

■The amount of detergent to use depends on:

How much soil remains on the items - Heavily soiled loads require more detergent.

The hardness of the water - If you use too little in hard water, dishes won't be clean. If you use too much in soft water, glassware will etch.

Soft to Medium Water (0-6 grains per U.S. gallon) [typical water softener water and some city water]

Medium to Hard Water (7-12 grains per U.S. gallon) [well water and some city water]

■Depending on your water hardness, fill the Main Wash section of the dispenser as shown. Fill the Pre-Wash section to the level shown, if needed.
