NOTE: for ease of loading/unloading large size dinner plates from the dish rack it may be
necessary to (temporarily) remove the cutlery basket. When loading/unloading is
complete, return the cutlery basket to its original position.
Preparing your dishes for washing
Scrape off all solid food particles from the dishes.
Remove excessive quantities of oil or grease.
Empty any liquids from glasses and cups.
NOTE: Dishes with dried-on foods are more difficult to wash and may not come clean in a
normal wash cycle.
Arrange all items with recessed or curved sections on a slant to drain water away.
Cups, pots, glasses, etc should be placed upside down.
When loading items to be washed
Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal.
Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of injuries
Do not load plastic items unless they are marked "dishwasher safe" or the equivalent. For
plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer's recommendations.
Do not load glasses over the dish rack pins. Glasses loaded over dish rack pins are not
properly supported and are likely to get damaged.
Items with wooden or bone handles and items joined together with glue are unsuitable as
they cannot resist hot water.
Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.
Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.
Do not tamper with controls.
Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the open door or dish-rack of the dishwasher. The
machine may topple over.
Protect cables and hoses from high temperatures.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to operate or play with the dishwasher.
Using the right detergent
Use only detergent specifically made
for use in dishwashers, as other types
will cause over-sudding. If your
detergent is old and/or lumpy, throw it
away.
Old detergent loses its washing
power. Lumpy detergent won't
dissolve.
Please put the detergent in the depression
located on the inner door.
How much detergent should you use?
That depends if your water is 'hard' or 'soft'.
HARD WATER REQUIRES MORE DETERGENT TO GET DISHES CLEAN.
SOFT WATER REQUIRES LESS DETERGENT TO GET DISHES CLEAN.
The recessed detergent area located on the inside door panel will hold approximately 3
tablespoons of detergent. Follow the detergent manufacturer's guidelines.
