How to load your dishwasher

This is a random mixed load, the most common type you
will have.
Make sure dishes are properly loaded to insure that
water can reach the soiled surfaces. The wash arm in the
bottom sprays water up. The tower that rises in the
center sends water out over the dishes to wash the items
in upper rack. On some models, a spray arm in the top
washes down also. Make sure to place tall items to the
outside so the upper wash arm is not blocked.
The washer tower rises through the center of the bottom
rack during the wash and rinse portions of the cycle.
Don't block it or load tall things next to it. Also, be
careful not to let a portion of an item such as a pot or
dish handle extend through the bottom rack. This could
block the wash arm and cause poor washing results.
How to load the ~PRACK
The top rack is best for glasses, cups and saucers. Cups
and glasses fit best along the sides. This is the place for
dishwasher-safe plastics, too. Make sure small plastic
items are lodged in tightly so they can't fall onto the
cannot move easily. Don't let the glasses touch each
other.
L
Sauce pans, mixing bowls and other small items may be
placed—face down—in the top rack. The top rack is
handy for all kinds of odd shapes. Be sure the force of
water and detergent can reach soiled surfaces.
