This section tells you how to properly load your dishwasher for the best washing and rinsing
results.
Preparing to load the dishwasher
l
To save water and energy, do not rinse
dishes before putting them into the
dishwasher.
l
Foods like eggs, rice, pasta, and cooked
cereals may be hard to remove if they are
left to dry over a period of time.
.
l
Remove large pieces of food, bones and
other hard items. The POWER CLEANTM
module will remove 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 POWER CLEAN
module, you might hear chopping, grinding,
crunching or buzzing sounds. Those sounds
are normal when hard items enter the mod-
ule. Do not let metallic items (such
as pot
handle screws) get into the POWER CLEAN
module. This could damage the POWER
CLEAN module.
Run a Rinse & Hold cycle to keep dishes
moist if you do not plan to wash them
soon.
l
Load dishes so soiled surfaces face the
rotating spray arms.
l
Load dishes so they are not stacked or
overlapping. It is important for the water
spray to reach all soiled surfaces for best
washing. For best drying, water must be
able to drain from all surfaces.
Loading the top rack
The top rack is designed for cups, glasses
and smaller items. Do not cover the third
level wash when loading the top rack.

l

and draining.
l

occur.
l
Place items in the rows between prongs.
Placing them over the prongs can lead to
breakage.
l
Be sure lightweight items are held firmly
in place.
l
China, crystal and other delicate items
must not touch each other during dish-
washer operation. Damage may occur.
