DISHWASHER LOADING

LOADING SUGGESTIONS

• Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard items from the dishes. To
conserve water and energy and save time, it is not necessary to rinse dishes before
putting them into the dishwasher. The wash module contains a food disposer which will
reduce the size of food items.
NOTE: If hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts, and eggshells 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 may occur.
• It is important for the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces.
• Load dishes so they are not too close together, stacked or overlapping if possible. For
best drying results, water must be able to drain from all surfaces.
• Load heavy pots and pans carefully. Heavy items can dent the stainless steel interior of
the door if they are dropped or bumped.
• Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets, etc., do not interfere with the
spray arm rotation.
• Conserve water, energy and save time spent hand-rinsing by running a rinse cycle to
keep dishes moist if you do not plan to wash them soon. Foods such as 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 spray arm rotation.
LOAD DISHES SO THEY DO NOT TOUCH ONE ANOTHER.

NOTE: If hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts, and eggshells enter the wash module, you
might hear chopping, grinding, crunching, or buzzing sounds. These sounds are
normal when hard items pass through the food disposer.
