PREPARING AND LOADING DISHES
Dish Preparation
Scrape away large pieces of food, bones, pits, toothpicks, etc. The continuously filtered wash system will
remove the remaining food particles. Burned-on foods should be loosened before loading. Empty liquids
from glasses and cups. Foods such as mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice and tomato based
products may cause discoloration of stainless steel and plastics if allowed to sit for a long period of time.
Unless the dishwasher needs to be run immediately, it is best to rinse off these food soils. If the dishwasher
drains into a food disposer, be sure disposer is completely empty before starting dishwasher.
Loading the Upper Basket
The upper basket is designed for cups,
glasses, small plates, bowls and plastic items
marked dishwasher safe etc.
For best results, place the bowls, cups,
glasses, and saucepans with soiled surface
facing down or toward the center. Tilt slightly
for better drainage.
Loading the Bottom Basket
The b
ottom
basket
is designed to load
plates, soup bowls, plates, saucers and
cookware. The adjustable
basket
space will
allow you to load items with a maximum
height of 11 inches.
The fold-down tines in the bottom
basket
make it easy to
load those extra large and
hard-to-fit items. The tines may be left
up for normal use or folded down for more
flexible loading. Fold down for more space
to load large pots or pans.
Make sure the loaded dishes do
not interfere with the rotation of
the middle spray arm, which is
located at the bottom of the upper
basket. (Check this by rotating the
middle spray arm by hand.)
Large items should be placed
along the edge so that they do not
interfere with the middle spray
arm rotation, and make sure
they do not prevent the detergent
dispenser from opening.
Large items should be turned so
that the inside faces downward,
and make sure these items
do not interfere with the lower
spray arm rotation.
