Preparing and Loading the Dishware
Dishware Preparation
Do not pre-wash items having loosely-attached soiling. Remove large food particles, bones, seeds,
toothpicks, and excessive grease. Items having burned-on, baked-on or starchy soils may require
pre-treatment.
Loading the Dishwasher
Check the Materials section of this manual if you are unsure about an item’s dishwasher suitability.
Load only dishwasher-safe items into the dishwasher. Load dishes in the dishwasher racks so that
the insides of bowls, pots, and pans are facing the spray arms. Avoid nesting and contact points
between dishes. Separate items of dissimilar metals.
Loading the Top Rack
Figures 1 and 2 show typical 10 and 12 place load patterns for the top rack.
NOTE:
Make sure items do not protrude through the bottom of the racks and block the spray arms.
ATTENTION
To avoid dishwasher damage, do not load the dishwasher with objects such as paper prod-
ucts, plastic bags, packing materials, or anything other than normal dishware and kitchen-
ware. Do not load the dishwasher with anything other than dishwasher-safe dishware and
kitchenware.
