DISHWASHER LOADING
• It is important for the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces.
• Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping if
possible. For best drying, water must be able to drain from all
surfaces.
• Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets,
etc., do not interfere with the spray arm rotation.
Run a rinse cycle to keep dishes moist if you do not plan to
wash them soon. Foods like eggs, rice, pasta, spinach, and
cooked cereals may be hard to remove if they are left to dry
over a period of time.
Quiet operating tips
To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation:
• Make sure lightweight load items are secured in the racks.
• Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets,
etc., do not touch interior walls or interfere with the rotation of
the spray arm.
• Load dishes so they do not touch one anothe£
NOTE: For built-in models, keep sink drain plugs closed during
dishwasher operation to prevent noise transfer through drains.
The top rack is designed for cups, glasses, and smaller items.
(See recommended loading patterns shown.)
NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the
drawings shown.
Do not cover third level wash (on some models). See arrow.
Cup and g_ssload
Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard
items from the dishes. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes
before putting them into the dishwasher. The wash module
removes food particles from the water. The module contains a
chopping device which will reduce the size of food items.
NOTE: If hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts, and egg shells
enter the wash module, you might hear chopping, grinding,
crunching, or buzzing sounds. These sounds are normal
when hard items enter the module. Do not let metallic items
(such as pot handle screws) get into the wash module.
Damage can occur.
Mixed load
Place items so open ends face down for cleaning and
draining.
Load glasses and cups in top rack only. The bottom rack is
not designed for glasses and cups. Damage can occur.
Place cups and glasses in the rows between tines. Placing
them over the tines can lead to breakage and water spots.
To avoid chipping, do not let stemware touch other items.
