Attention before or after loading the Dishwasher Baskets
For best performance, follow these loading guidelines.
Scrape off any large

the dishes under running water.
Place objects in the dishwasher in following way:
1.
Items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. are face down.
2.
Curved items, or those with recesses, should be loaded at a slant so that water can run off.
3.

4.
All utensils placed
so
the spray arms can rotated freely during washing.
NOTE:
Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they could easily fall out of the basket.
•
Dishes and silverware must not lie inside one another, or cover each other.
•
To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch.
•
Load large items which are most difficult to clean into the plate rack basket.
•
Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard.
•
Please do not overload your dishwasher. This is important for good cleaning results.
