Loading the Dishwasher

General Loading Guidelines

Load all items so that the force of the water and the detergent reach soiled surfaces.

Do not let china, crystal, and other delicate items touch each other during dishwasher operation.

Do not use door to push racks in.

Note: Do not load dishes in a manner that would block the detergent dispenser lid from completely opening. The detergent dispenser lid could be damaged.

Note: Do not put sterling silver or silver-plated flatware in the same compartment with stainless steel. Contact between the metals can damage silver.

DO NOT put stainless steel of different qualities close to each other. Contact can damage metals.

Rinse stainless steel items if they will not be washed immediately. Prolonged contact with salty or acidic foods will cause stains.

Extra Quiet Operation Hints

Your dishwasher has been designed and engineered to give superior cleaning results and to operate very quietly. To avoid any extra clattering or thumping noises during operation:

Keep sink drain plugs inserted during dishwasher operation to prevent noise transfer through drains.

Load dishes so they do not touch each other.

Make sure lightweight items are secured in the rack.

Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets, etc., do not touch interior walls.

The Silverware/Cutlery Basket

Tips for Best Cleaning Results:

Distribute items evenly and mix knives, forks, and spoons so that items will avoid nesting.

Always place forks and spoons with eating portions up and handles down.

Compartments with lids help separate the silverware for the best cleaning and drying results. The lids also hold small, lightweight items in place.

IMPORTANT: Sharp or pointed items, such as knives, should always be put in with the point down to protect your hands.
