Loading the Dishwasher
Do not pre-wash items with loosely attached soiling. Remove all food particles, bones, toothpicks and excessive
grease. Items having burned-on, baked-on or starchy soils may require some pretreatment. Refer to the Dishware
Materials section on page 5 for more information about dishware suitability.
Load only dishwasher safe items into the dishwasher. Load dishes in the dishwasher racks so the insides of bowls,
pots and pans are facing the spray arms. Avoid nesting and contact points between dishes. Separate items of dis-
similar metals.
Loading the Top Rack
Ensure items do not protrude through the bottom of the racks and block the spray arms.
Note: When pushing the top rack into the dishwasher, push it until it stops against the back of the tub so the top rack
spray arm connects to the water supply at the back of the tub. Do not push racks in using the door.
