Loading Dishwasher
Cutlery Basket
Load cutlery basket evenly with items mixed
and handles up.
Caution
To avoid personal injury or
property damage, load sharp
knives with handles up.
Small plastic items such as measuring spoons
and lids are not recommended for automatic
dishwashing. If placed in diswasher, these
items should go in bottom of basket with
silverware on top.
Important
Take out anything that might fall or extend
through the bottom of basket.
Preparing Dishes
Pre-rinsing of normal food soils is not
necessary.
1.
Remove large quantities of any food.
Also remove solids such as bones,
crusts, meat trimmings, seeds, skins,
toothpicks, hard-shelled or leafy
vegetables.
2.
Remove foods such as mustard,
mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice and
other foods that can cause discoloration
of stainless steel.
3.
Place dishes in dishwasher before soil
dries. Dishes with dried-on soil are more
difficult to wash.
Top Rack
Top rack is for delicate, plastic or small items.
Glasses fit best along the sides. Arrange
stemware so that stemware cannot move easily.
Do not let glasses or stemware touch each
other. Do not wash plastic items unless marked
“dishwasher safe.” For plastic items not marked,
check manufacturer’s recommendations.
Make sure small plastic items are secure so
they cannot fall onto heating element.
Bottom Rack
Bottom rack is best for heavily soiled items. Fit
plates and saucers between tines. Pots, pans
and casseroles must be loaded in bottom rack,
facing down. Prop broiler pans and racks along
edge.
Important
For best results, properly load dishwasher.
Important
Do not block wash tower or load tall items next
to wash tower. Items must not prevent wash
tower from rotating freely. Do not let items
extend through bottom rack. This could block
wash arm and cause poor washing results.
