Proper Loading
Cup
and
glass load
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
particles out of the wash water. Small particles
are flushed away as water is pumped out. Larger
particles are trapped on the filter system screen.
Refer to "Dishwasher care 8 cleaning" on page
10 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.
