Dishwasher Use
STEP 1
Prepare and Load the Dishwasher
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 drawer 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 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.
STEP 2
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 or liquid 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.
