Preparation for loading
It is not necessary to rinse dishes before putting them into the dishwasher. Just remove large pieces and quantities of food and bones. The filtering system helps keep food parti- cles out of the wash water. Small particles are flushed away as water is pumped out. Larger parti- cles are trapped on the filter system screen. Refer to “Dishwasher care & cleaning” on page 12 for filter screen cleaning instructions.
Always load dishes so soiled surfaces are reached by spray from rotating spray arm. Water must be able to drain off completely for best drying results. Be careful to separate items so spray can reach all surfaces.
Top rack loading
The top rack is designed for cups, glasses and smaller items.
