This section tells you how to properly load your dishwasher for the best washing and rinsing results.
Preparing to load the dishwasher
•Scrape leftover food, bones, toothpicks, and other hard items from dishes. It is not
necessary to rinse dishes before putting them into the dishwasher.
•Load dishes so soiled surfaces face the spray (down or inward). It is important for the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces.
•Take care when loading heavy pots or pans into the dishwasher. They can dent the stainless steel interior of the door if they are dropped or bumped.
•Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets, etc., do not touch interior walls or interfere with the spray arm rotation.
•Run a Rinse Only cycle to keep dishes moist if you do not plan to wash them soon. Foods like eggs, rice, pasta, spinach, and cooked cereals may be hard to remove if they are left to dry.
Loading the upper rack
The upper rack is designed for cups, glasses, and other small items.
•Load cups and glasses in the upper rack only, in the rows between the prongs. Placing them over the prongs can cause them to chip or break.
•China, crystal, and other delicate items must not touch each other during dish- washer operation. Damage may occur.
•Place items so open ends face down for best cleaning and draining.
•Load plastic items securely in the upper
rack only. Wash only plastic items marked "dishwasher safe."
•Secure lightweight items so they don't overturn during washing. Wedge light- weight items against one another or overlap them with heavier dishes.
•Load bowls in the ce'_ersection for best stability.
