Use care in loadlng alumfnum utensils, especially any
lightweight foil container. Place so they do not touch dishes. Remove black marks wrth plastrc scouring pad and a mrld abrasive cleanser
Do not overload. Load glasses In top rack only. Load small glasses between prongs, not over them. Glasses loaded over prongs WIII not be supported and may chip or break.
Check for ranbow hue on glasses A rainbow hue IS the frrst sgn of erchrng (corrosron of glass) Reducethe amount

Allorv dishwflsher to complete cycle
Some pi,imbrng codes require use of a drain afr gap be-
tween an undercounter dishwasher and the drawn system of the house The air gap IS usually located above the sink or 0’3 the top of the counter near the drshwasher to prevent the possibrl~ly of water backrng up from the drain into the drshwcsher due to a plugged drain The drain air gap IS NOT a part of the drshwasher and IS NOT covered by the
dishwasher warranty The dram air gap should be kept clear to insure proper draining of the dishwasher
