DISHWASHER LOADING

Loading Suggestions

Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard items from the dishes. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes before putting them into the dishwasher. The wash module removes food particles from the water. The module contains a chopping device which will reduce the size of food items.

NOTE: If hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts, and egg shells enter the wash module, you might hear chopping, grinding, crunching, or buzzing sounds. These sounds are normal when hard items enter the module. Do not let metallic items (such as pot handle screws) get into the wash module. Damage can occur.

It is important for the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces.

Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping, if possible. For best drying, water must be able to drain from all surfaces.

Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets, etc., do not interfere with the spray arm rotation.

Run a rinse cycle to keep dishes moist if you do not plan to wash them soon. Foods such as eggs, rice, pasta, spinach, and cooked cereals may be hard to remove if they are left to dry over a period of time.

Quiet operating tips

To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation:

Make sure lightweight load items are secured in the racks.

Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets, etc., do not touch interior walls or interfere with the rotation of the spray arm.

Load dishes so they do not touch one another.

NOTE: For built-in models, keep sink drain plugs closed during dishwasher operation to prevent noise transfer through drains.

Loading Top Rack

The top rack is designed for cups, glasses, and smaller items. (See recommended loading patterns shown.)

NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the drawings shown.

Cup and glass load

Mixed load

Place items so open ends face down for cleaning and draining.

Load glasses in top rack only. The bottom rack is not designed for glasses. Damage can occur.

Place cups and glasses in the rows between tines. Placing them over the tines can lead to breakage.

China, crystal, and other delicate items must not touch each other during dishwasher operation. Damage may occur.

Load plastic items in the top rack only. Only plastic items marked “dishwasher safe” are recommended.

Load plastic items so the force of the spray does not move them during the cycle.

To avoid chipping, do not let stemware touch other items.

Small bowls, pans, and other utensils can be placed in the top rack. Load bowls in the center section for best stability.

Extra-capacity fold-down shelves

Fold down the extra shelf on the right side of the top rack to hold additional cups, or long items such as utensils and spatulas.

Light item clips (on some models)

The light-item clips hold lightweight plastic items such as cups, lids, or bowls in place during washing. You can move a clip anywhere in the rack.

To move a clip

1.Pull the clip up and off the tine.

2.Reposition the clip on another tine.
