HOW TO LOAD YOUR DISHWASHER

NOTE: Do not load large platters or trays in front  right corner
of lower rack. They may prevent detergent from circulating in the wash cycle.

The upper rack is best 

 glasses, cups and

saucers. Cups and glasses fit best along the sides.

This is also the place for dishwasher-safe plastics.

Make sure small plastic items are lodged in tightly so

they can’t fall onto the heating unit. Arrange stemware
so that it cannot move easily. Don’t let the glasses
touch each other.

The upper rack is handy for all kinds 

 odd shapes. Sauce pans, mixing bowls 

 other items should be placed

face 

 When loading dishwasher safe plastics make sure each plastic item is secured over two fingers. This

will insure good washing results.
