1.
Prepare and Load the Dishwasher
IMPORTANT:
Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard
items from dishes. Remove labels from containers before washing.
■
Make sure no items are blocking the detergent dispenser when the
dishwasher door is closed.
■
Items should be loaded with soiled surfaces facing down and
inward to the spray, as shown in the graphics above. This will
improve cleaning and drying results. Angle dirtiest dish surface
downward, allowing space for water to flow up through rack and
between dishes.
■
Avoid overlapping items like bowls or plates that may trap food.
■
Place plastics, small plates and glasses in upper rack.
■
Wash only items marked “dishwasher safe.”
■
To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation: Load dishes
so they do not touch one another. Make sure lightweight load items
are secured in racks.
■
When loading silverware, always place sharp
items pointing down and avoid “nesting”.
■
If your silverware does not fit into the
designated slots, lift and slide covers off to
remove them. Mix silverware types to keep
them separated.
■
Use slots in the covers and suggested loading
patterns to keep your silverware separated for
optimum wash.
2.
Check that all arms spin freely
3.
Add Detergent
NOTE:
If you do not plan to run a wash cycle soon, run a rinse cycle.
Do not use detergent.
■
Use automatic dishwasher detergent only. Add detergent just
before starting a cycle.
■
Fresh automatic dishwasher
detergent results in better
cleaning. Store tightly closed
detergent container in a cool, dry
place.
Detergents
Many detergents now come in several
forms (gel packs, tablets, or powder
packs).
It is recommended to use tablets and
packs for convenience and improved performance. They have been
proven better than powder, liquid or gel detergents at reducing filming
on dishes. Using tablets and packs over time will start to reduce or
eliminate white film. Also, by using a rinse aid, you can minimize repeat
buildup of white film. These forms are suitable for all hardness and soil
levels. Always place detergents in the main compartment and slide lid
to close.
NOTE:
Follow instructions on the package when using other
dishwasher detergent types. See the online user guide for more
information on powder, liquid and gel usage.
4.
Add Rinse Aid
■
Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid for good drying
performance. Without rinse aid, your dishes and dishwasher interior
will have excessive moisture. The heating and drying options will
not perform as well without rinse aid.
■
Rinse aid keeps water from forming droplets that can dry as spots
or streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to drain off of
dishes after final rinse.
