PREPARING AND LOADING DISHES

Loading the Silverware Basket

Adding a Dish

To add or remove items after wash cycle starts:
• Unlatch door and wait a few seconds until wash action

stops before opening.

• Add the item and wait a few seconds to allow cold air to

slowly expand inside dishwasher.

• Close door firmly to latch and resume cycle.

When covers are up, mix items in each section of the

basket with some pointing up and some down to avoid

nesting. Water spray cannot reach nested items.

Features and appearance of racks and silverware basket

may vary from your model.

Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom rack or

take the basket out for loading on a counter or table.

In some models small items like baby bottle caps, jar lids,

corn cob holders, etc.,can be placed in a covered section.

Close the cover to hold small items in place.

Use suggested loading patterns, as shown, to increase

washability of your silverware.

Be sure nothing protrudes through bottom of basket or

rack to block the spray arm.

Do not mix silver and stainless to avoid damaging the

silver finish.

Load sharp items (knives, skewers, etc.)

        pointing down.

Failure to do so may result in injury.

CAUTION
