How To Load Your Dishwasher
This is a random "mixed-load'"...
the most com-
mon type you will have.
Both racks of your dishwasher
may be loaded
at random
as illustrated.
As you pull out the
racks, you'll
find the upper rack rests on the
lower rack supports.
When loading
the dish-
washer, set the upper rack on your countertop
and load it there. Fill the lower rack in the dish-
washer.
Pots
and pans, casseroles and other items with
heavy, dried-on and baked-on soils must be
loaded in the lower rack with the open end
down, facing directly
toward the wash arm be-
low the lower
rack.
Shallow
items
may
be
angled provided
the lower side does not shield
soiled surface inside from direct water action.
Lightly-soiled
items
may be loaded
in either
the upper or lower rack, with the soiled surfaces
facing downward toward the center as illustrated.
