USING YOUR
DISHWASHER
Dishware Preparation
1. General Guidelines
a) Do not pre-wash items having
loosely-attached soiling.
b) Remove large food particles, bones,
seeds, toothpicks, and excessive grease.
c) Items having burned-on or hard,
stuck-on soiling may require soaking and
hand-scouring.
Loading the Dishwasher
1. General Guidelines
a) Check the Materials section of this
manual if you are unsure about an
item’s dishwasher suitability.
b) Load only dishwasher-safe items
into the dishwasher.
c) Load items so that water can reach
every part of every item.
d) Place pots, pans, cups, bowls, and
glasses upside-down in the racks.
e) Separate items of dissimilar
metals.
2. Loading the Top Rack
a) Figures 1, 2 and 3 show a typical
mixed load in the top rack.
NOTE
: When pushing the top rack into
the dishwasher, push it until it stops
against the back of the tub. Otherwise,
the top rack spray arm may not connect
to the water supply.
b) When the top rack is loaded, push it
into the dishwasher.
b) When the bottom rack is loaded,
push it into the dishwasher.
4. Loading Extra Tall Items
If an item is too tall to be placed into
the bottom rack even with the top rack in
the raised position,
a) Remove the empty top rack by
pulling it out of the dishwasher until it
stops rolling.
3. Loading the Bottom Rack
a) Place large items in the bottom
rack. Load pots and pans upside-down.
Figures 4, 5 and 6 show a typical mixed
load in the bottom rack.
