  • What is the best way to load dishes into the Sharp SDW6757ES dishwasher?

    For best results when loading dishes:

    • Upper Rack: Designed for cups, glasses, small plates, bowls, and dishwasher-safe plastic items. Place bowls, cups, glasses, and saucepans with soiled surfaces facing down or toward the center and tilt slightly for better drainage. Ensure loaded dishes do not interfere with the rotation of the upper spray arm.
    • Lower Rack: Designed for plates, soup bowls, saucers, and cookware. Large items should be placed along the edge so they do not interfere with the upper spray arm rotation or prevent the detergent dispenser from opening. Turn large items over so their inside faces downward.
    • Third Rack: Use for cutlery or other accessories like spatulas or cooking spoons. Load silverware, knives, and utensils separately in appropriate positions to prevent nesting.
    • Silverware Basket: Load utensils like knives and skewers with handles pointing up and sharp metal edges pointing down to avoid injury. Forks and spoons may be loaded with handles pointing up or down, using separators to prevent nesting. Place small items like baby bottle caps or jar lids in sections with hinged covers and close the covers to hold them in place.
