Loading the Silverware
Basket
Load sharp items with handles up.
Be sure
items do not protrude through the holes in the
basket and stop the rotation of the spray arm.
Load silverware so items are mixed in each
section to prevent nesting. Water spray cannot
effectively reach nested items.
Preparing and Loading Dishes
Loading the Bottom Rack
Large plates and platters
—Place
between the support pins with soiled sides facing
inward.
Bowls, casseroles and sauce
pans
—
Load upside down or at an angle facing
inward. Slightly tilting items will provide better
drainage.
Pots and pans
—Place upside down and at
an angle. Do not allow handles to protrude through
bottom of rack, blocking wash arm rotation. Load
large items at the sides and not across the front so
they do not block the detergent dispenser
preventing it from opening.
Loading the Top Rack
Glasses and cups
—Place glasses and
cups against outside pins at an angle. Cups with a
concave bottom will collect water.
Small plates and saucers
—Place
dishes between middle two rows of pins.
Plasticware
—Load plasticware in the top rack
to avoid melting.
Bowls
—Place bowls between the middle 2 rows
of pins facing down.
Miscellaneous items
—Place long handled
knives and utensils in top rack.
Cup Shelf
—The cup shelf can be folded down
over short items (juice glasses, cups, etc.) for
more loading space. When using cup shelf,
alternate items with layer below so that water can
reach all inside surfaces.
