Dish Preparation
Scrape away
large pieces of
food, bones, pits,
toothpicks, etc.
The continuously
filtered wash
fluid will remove
remaining food
particles. Burned-on foods should be
loosened before loading. Empty liquids
from glasses and cups.
Foods such as mustard, mayonnaise,
vinegar, lemon juice and tomato based
products may cause discoloration of
stainless steel and plastics if allowed to
sit for a long period of time. Unless the
dishwasher is to be operated at once, it
is best to pre-rinse or use the rinse only
cycle to rinse off these food soils.
• Load racks so that large items do not
prevent the detergent dispenser from
opening.
• Check manufacturer's
recommendations before washing
items in question.
• If the dishwasher drains into a
Food Disposer, be sure disposer is
completely empty before starting
dishwasher.
Loading the Top Rack
Features and appearance of racks and
silverware basket may vary from your
model.
The upper rack is designed for flexibility
in loading a wide variety of items
including cups, glasses, stemware, small
plates, bowls, etc.
Load glasses in top rack only. Damage
may occur if placed in bottom rack.
Load plastic items in top rack only. Melting
may occur if placed in bottom rack.
Load items with open ends facing down
for better cleaning and draining.
Damage may occur if delicate items touch
each other during dishwasher operation.
Long-handled knives and utensils can be
placed in top rack.
Be sure nothing protrudes through the
bottom of the rack to block rotation of
middle spray arm.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Some models have a fold-down cup shelf
or a cup shelf/stemware holder. They can
be used to load two levels of cups, juice
glasses, and other short items. Stagger
items on upper level so that water can
reach all inside surfaces. Fold up to load
tall glasses.
