Dishwasher Basket Loading Guidelines
For best performance, follow these guidelines before and after loading the dishwasher basket. Basket and cutlery baskets may vary according to model.
•Scrape off large amounts of leftover food from your dishes. Soften and remove burnt food remnants from pans. It is not necessary to rinse dishes before washing.
•Place objects in the dishwasher in the following manner:
A.Place cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc., face down.
B.Curved items or those with recesses should be loaded at an angle or slant so that water can run off.
C.All utensils are must be stacked securely so that they do not tip over.
D.Place all utensils in the same direction so that the spray arms can rotate freely during the wash cycle.
Note: Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher, as they can easily fall out of the basket.
•Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc., with the opening facing downwards so that water cannot collect in the container.
