How to load your dishwasher
Make sure dishes are properly loaded to insure that
water can reach the soiled surfaces. The wash arm in
the bottom sprays water up. The tower that rises in the
center sends water out over the dishes to wash the
items in the upper rack. A spray arm in the top washes
down also. Make sure to place tall items to the outside
so the upper wash arm is not blocked.
How to load the TOP MCK
Below is the special upper rack that comes with
this model.

WATCH OUT FOR THIS.
The wash tower rises through the center of the bottom
rack during the wash and rinse portions of the cycle.
Don't block it or load tall things next to it. Also, be
careful not to let a portion of an item such as a pot or
dish handle extend through the bottom rack. This could
block the wash arm and cause poor washing results.
The top rack is best for glasses, cups and saucers.
Cups and utensils can be washed when using the
folding shelf. Load the bottom row first, then fold
down the shelf and load the top row. Cups and
glasses fit best along the sides. This is the place
for dishwasher-safe plastics, too. Make sure small
plastic items are lodged in tightly so they can't fall
onto Calrodo) heating element. Arrange stemware
so that it cannot move easily. Don't let the glasses
touch each other.
Sauce pans, mixing bowls and other small items may
be placed—face down—in the top rack. The top rack
is handy for all kinds of odd shapes. Be sure the force
of water and detergent can reach soiled surfaces.
