DISHWASHERLOADING
Loading Suggestions
Remove leftover food, hones, toothpicks and other hard
items from the dishes. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes
before putting them in the dishwasher.
NOTE: if hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts, and egg shells
enter the wash system, you might hear chopping, grinding,
crunching, or buzzing sounds. These sounds are normal. Do
not let metallic items (such as pot handle screws) get into the
wash system. Damage can occur.
• Load dishes so soiled surfaces face the spray (down or
inward). 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, cookiesheets,
etc., do not interfere with the spray arm rotation.
