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.
