Make sure nothing keeps spray arm(s) from spinning freely. It is important for the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces.

Make sure that when the dishwasher door is closed, no items are blocking the detergent dispenser.

Items should be loaded with soiled surfaces facing down and inward to the spray as shown. This will improve cleaning and drying results.

Avoid overlapping items like bowls or plates that may trap food.

Place plastics, small plates and glasses in the upper rack. Wash only plastic items marked “dishwasher safe.”

To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation: Load dishes so they do not touch one another. Make sure lightweight load items are secured in the racks.

When loading silverware, always place sharp items pointing down. Mix other items pointing up and some pointing down.

STEP 2

Add Detergent

Use automatic dishwasher detergent only. Add powder, liquid or tablet detergent just before starting a cycle.
