■ Make sure nothing keeps spray arm(s) from
spinning freely. It is important for the water
spray to reach all soiled surfaces.
■ Make sure that when the dishwasher door is closed no items
are blocking the detergent dispenser.
■ Items should be loaded with soiled surfaces facing down and
inward to the spray as shown. This will improve cleaning and
drying results.
■ Avoid overlapping items like bowls or plates that may trap food.

Dishwasher Use

■ Place plastics, small plates and glasses in the upper rack.
Wash only plastic items marked "dishwasher safe."
■
To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation: Load
dishes so they do not touch one another. Make sure lightweight
load items are secured in the racks.
■ When loading silverware, always place sharp
items pointing down. Mix some of the items
having pointing up and some items pointing
down.
Add Detergent
NOTE: If you do not plan to run a wash cycle soon, run a rinse
cycle. Do not use detergent.
■ Use automatic dishwasher detergent only. Add powder, liquid
or tablet detergent just before starting a cycle.
■
Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better
cleaning. Store tightly closed detergent container in a cool, dry
place.
