Loading the Dishwasher
Do not
pre-wash
items
with
loosely
attached
soiling.
Remove
all food
particles,
bones,
toothpicks
and
excessive
grease.
Items
having
burned-on,
baked-on
or starchy
soils may require
some
pretreatment.
Refer
to the Dishware
Materials
section
for more
information
about
dishware
suitability.
Load only dishwasher
safe items
into the dishwasher.
Load dishes
in the dishwasher
racks
so the insides
of bowls,
pots
and pans
are facing
the spray
arms
as shown.
Avoid
nesting
and contact
points
between
dishes.
Separate
items
of dissimilar
metals.
Use care
to not block
movement
of the spray
arms.
The sharp
points
and edges
of knives
and other
sharp
utensils
can cause
serious
injuries.
Load knives
and
other
sharp
utensils
with
edges
down.
Do not allow
children
to handle
or play near knives
and sharp
uten-
sils.
To avoid
dishwasher
damage,
do not load the dishwasher
with
paper
products,
plastic
bags, packing
mate-
rials or anything
other
than
normal,
dishwasher
safe dishware
and kitchenware.
Loading the Upper Rack
Ensure
items
do not protrude
through
the bottom
of the racks
and block
the spray
arms.
Note:
When pushing
the upper rack into the dishwasher,
push it until it stops against
the back of the tub so the
upper rack spray arm connects
to the water supply at the back of the tub. Do not push racks in using the door.
Loading the Lower Rack
Place
large
items
in the lower
rack.
Load
pots,
pans
and bowls
upside
down.
Do not block
vent with
tall
baking
sheets.
Load these
items
on the right
side of the dishwasher.
Loading the Cutlery
Drawer
The cutlery
drawer
horizontally
positions
knives,
spatulas
and other
oversized
tools
for improved
cleaning
and easier
loading
and unloading.
Arrange
cutlery
in the cutlery
drawer.
Unloading
the Dishwasher
When
unloading
the dishwasher,
it is recommended
to unload
the lower
rack first.
Next, unload
the silver-
ware
basket
followed
by the
upper
rack,
and then
the cutlery
drawer.
This
prevents
water
from
dripping
down
onto
dishware.
Note: Dishes are more likely to chip when unloading
before
cooling.
