Make sure pot handles and other items do not stop rotation of the lower spray arm. Spray arm must move freely.

Load items so they do not block or cover the spray tower.

Securely place heavily soiled cookware face down in rack.

l Place plates, soup bowls, etc., between prongs

 

and facing inward to the spray.

 

l Do not place items directly over spray tower.

 

Utensil

items at sides and back. Loading such items in

Silverware

basket loading

 

Load the silverware basket while it’s in or out of

 

the bottom rack. The loaded basket should be in

 

the center front (over the spray tower) of the

 

bottom

rack.

 

Load forks and spoons so they don’t nest

together. Spray can’t reach nested items.

Mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing up and some down.

Small items - baby bottle caps, jar lids, etc. - can be put in any section.

Personal Injury Hazard

To avoid cuts from sharp items (knives, forks, skewers, etc.), make sure these items are put in point down.
