Prepare and load
dishwasher.

Add detergent
and rinse aid.
Prepare and Load the Dishwasher
IMPORTANT: Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other
hard items from the dishes. Remove labels from containers before
washing.
Upper rack
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.
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.

Quick Steps

3
Select a cycle and option (cycles and options vary
by model).
4
Start dishwasher.
When loading silverware, always place sharp
items pointing down. Mix other items
pointing up and some 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.
For optimum
performance, tablet
detergent is
recommended.
Premeasured Detergents
Many detergents now come in premeasured forms (gel packs,
tablets, or powder packs). These forms are suitable for all hardness
and soil levels. Always place premeasured detergents in the main
compartment and close the lid.
Using dishwasher detergent tablets and packs have been proven
better than powder, liquid or gel detergents to reduce filming on
your dishes. By using these tablets and packs, over time this will
start to reduce or eliminate white film. Also, by using a rinse aid you
can minimize repeat buildup of white film.
