Preparing and Loading Dishes

Dish Preparation
Prior to loading dishware into the dishwasher:
Scrape away large pieces of food, bones, pits,
toothpicks, etc. Loosen burned - on foods.
Empty liquids from glasses and cups.
Foods such as mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar,
lemon juice and tomato - based products
may cause discoloration of stainless steel and
plastics if allowed to sit for a long period of
time. Unless the dishwasher is to be operated
at once, it is best to rinse off these food soils
before loading the dishwasher.
This unit uses very little water. Generally,
running the cycle - even with half of a load
is more economical than rinsing by hand and
waiting to run the unit when a full load is
ready to wash.
• If the dishwasher drains into a Food
Disposer, be sure disposer is completely
empty before starting dishwasher.
Loading the Dishwasher
• Load racks so that large items do not
prevent the detergent dispenser from
opening.
• Check manufacturer's recommendations
before washing items in question.
Loading the Top Rack
Features and appearance of racks and
silverware basket may vary from your model.
The top rack is designed for cups, glasses,
small plates, saucers and bowls.
Load glasses in top rack only. Damage may
occur if placed in bottom rack.
Load plastic items in top rack only. Melting
may occur if placed in bottom rack.
Load items with open ends facing down for
better cleaning and draining.
Damage may occur if delicate items touch
each other during dishwasher operation.
Long-handled knives and utensils can be
placed in top rack.
Do Not Cover Funnel
Some models have a fold-down cup shelf or a
cup shelf/stemware holder. They can be used
to load two levels of cups, juice glasses, and
other short items. Stagger items on upper level
so that water can reach all inside surfaces.
Fold up to load tall glasses.
