Loading

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 dishwasher.

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

➢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.

General recommendations

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

➢Avoid blocking or preventing the spray arms from spinning freely. Do not allow items to extend beyond the racks.

LOADING

Upper rack

10 Place Settings

Glasses, cups, stemware, light-weight plastics, plates, bowls, pans, long-handled utensils etc. can be loaded in this rack. Do not load glasses over the tines.

The Stack-Rack (select models) on the right side of the upper rack folds up 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 Stack-Rack (select models) is designed to hold stemware in place. Taller stemware will fit better on the right side as the upper rack is deeper on this side.

The folding tines (select models) located in the front right corner provide convenient loading space for large, bulky items like pots and pans or mixing bowls

The cup clips (select models) located in the center of the upper rack can be used to hold light weight plastic items, cooking utensils, knives, etc. in place. Clip the item between the tine and the clip.

The Vari-Lock ™ Snugge r (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.

For best results with tall glasses, align the Vari-Lock ™ Snugger (select models) wavy wire with the arrow on the rack clip. Rest the bottom of the glass against the wavy wire.
