Before You Start

•Don’t Prerinse. Simply scrape off any bones or large food particles.

•If connected to a food waste disposer, make certain the disposer is empty before starting the dish- washer.

•Scrape off tomato-based food soils (see page 7).

General Recommendations

•Place all items in the racks so they are separated and facing center.

•Items can be centered behind a single tine or loaded at an angle to maximize space.

•Remove certain foods (such as mustard, mayonnaise, lemon juice, vinegar, salt or dressings) from stainless steel flatware as soon as possible. These foods may cause rusting and pitting if allowed to remain in contact with the surface for an extended period of time.

•Load items so they do not rest over the top of the wash tower.

•Avoid blocking the upper and lower spray arms by not allowing items to extend beyond the racks.

Recommended Loading (Rack features vary by model)

For best dishwashing results follow these guidelines to determine the best arrangement for your items.
