Loading Silverware Basket
Load the silverware basket while it is in the dishwasher or take
the basket out for loading on a counter or table top.
NOTE: Unload or remove the basket before unloading the racks
to avoid spilling water droplets onto the silverware.
Mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing up
and some down to avoid nesting. Spray cannot reach nested
items.
IMPORTANT: Always load items (knives, skewers, etc.) pointing
down.
NOTES:
■
Do not load silver or silver-plated silverware with stainless
steel. These metals can be damaged by contact with each
other during washing.
■
Some foods (such as salt, vinegar, milk products, fruit juices,
etc.) can pit or corrode silverware. Run a rinse cycle if you do
not have a full load to wash immediately.
DISHWASHER USE
Detergent Dispenser
The detergent dispenser has two sections. The smaller Pre-Wash
section empties detergent into the dishwasher when you close
the door. The larger Main Wash section automatically empties
detergent into the dishwasher during the wash. (See the “Cycle
Selection Charts.”)
■
Use automatic dishwashing detergent only. Other detergents
can produce excessive suds that can overflow out of the
dishwasher and reduce washing performance.
■
Add detergent just before starting cycle.
■
Store tightly closed detergent in a cool, dry place. Fresh
automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning.
NOTE: Do not use detergent with a rinse cycle.

of the dispenser, if needed, according to the chart below.
