Proper Loading - Whirlpool DU8150XX Use & Care Manual

Proper Loading
Preparation for loading
It is not necessary to rinse dishes before
putting them into the dishwasher.
Just
remove large pieces and quantities of food and
bones. The filtering system helps keep food parti-
cles out of the wash water. Small particles are
flushed away as water is pumped out. Larger parti-
cles are trapped on the filter system screen. Refer
to "Dishwasher care 8 cleaning" on page 12 for
filter screen cleaning instructions.
Always load dishes so soiled surfaces are
reached by spray from rotating spray arm. Water
must be able to drain off completely for best drying
results. Be careful to separate items so spray can
reach all surfaces.
