Proper Loading
Continued
Mixed load
Utensil load
Bottom rack loading
Items with cooked-on or dried-on food should
be loaded in the bottom rack, with soiled surfaces
facing inward to the spray.
Mixed load
l
Make sure pot handles and other items do not
stop rotation of the lower spray arm. Spray arm
must move freely.
l
Load items so they do not block or cover the
spray tower.
l
Securely place heavily soiled cookware face
down in rack.
Dish load
l
Place plates, soup bowls, etc., between prongs
and facing inward to the spray.
l
Do not place items directly over spray tower.
Utensil load
l
Load cookie sheets, cake pans and other large
items at sides and back. Loading such items in
front may keep water spray from reaching
detergent dispenser.
NOTE:
l
Do not load glasses, cups or plastic items in the
bottom rack.
l
When lower rack is removed, replace with
bumpers in front.
Silverware basket loading
Load the silverware basket while it's in or out of
the bottom rack. The loaded basket should be in
the center front (over the spray tower) of the
bottom rack.
Load forks and spoons so they don't nest
together. Spray can't reach nested items.
Mix Items in each section of the basket with
some pointing up and some down.
Small items-baby bottle caps, jar lids, etc. -
can be put in any section.
Personal injury Hazard
To avoid cuts from sharp items (knives,
forks, skewers, etc.), make sure these items
are put in point down.
