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 system is designed
to remove food particles from the water. The wash system includes a chopping
device which will reduce 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 can occur.
• It is important for the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces.
• Load dishes so they are not 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 rotation of the spray arm.
• Load dishes so they do not touch one another.
NOTE: For built-in models, keep sink drain plugs closed during dishwasher
operation to prevent noise transfer through drains.
