•It'connected to a food waste disposer, make certain the disposer is erupt" before starting the dishwashel:

•Scrape off tomato-based food soils (see page 8).

General Recommendations

•Place all items in the racks so they are separated and facing centel:

•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 resting 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.

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

Upper Rack

10 Place Settings

Glasses, cups, stemware, light-weight plastics, small

plates, bowls, pans, long-handled utensils etc. can be loaded in this rack. Do not load glasses over the tines.

The Stack-Rack on the right side of the upper rack folds tip or down for loading flexibility. Fold it down to hold long-handled knives, spatulas and spoons or short items like cups or juice glasses. Fold it up for taller items like glasses, bowls, plates, etc.

The Vari-Lock" Snugger (select models) on the left secures lightweight items in place. It can be adjusted by grasping the wavy wire and rotating it left to snug items against the outer rack or to the right to rest on top of light items. Do not load items on top of the wire.

The wavy wire on the Vari-Lock" Snugger (select models) and the Stack-Rack is designed to hold stemware in place. Taller stemware will fit better on the right side as the tipper rack is deeper on this side.
