GETTING STARTED
LOADING THE SILVERWARE BASKET
The silverware basket consists of three separate sections. For
optimum loading flexibility, the center section of the basket
can be used individually, joined with one or both side sections
or removed.
• Lift handle to remove the silverware basket and set the basket
on a counter or table top.
• Lift up on each side section to disengage the center section
from the keyhole slots in the side sections.
• Load silverware into the basket while it sits on the counter or
replace the basket into the Lower Rack and load silverware
there.

• Do not let any item extend through the bottom.
• Ensure nothing protrudes through the bottom of
the silverware basket or rack that could block the
lower spray arm.
• Always load sharp items (knives, skewers, etc.)
pointing down.
FOR BEST RESULTS:
• To avoid injury, load utensils such as knives and skewers with
handles pointing up and sharp metal edges pointing down.
Items such as forks and spoons may be loaded with handles
pointing up or down, using separators to prevent the edges
of the silverware from nesting.
• Place small items such as baby bottle caps, jar lids, corncob
holders, etc. in the basket sections with hinged covers. Close
the covers to hold small items in place.
• Unload or remove the baskets before unloading the racks to
avoid water droplets falling on the silverware.
• When handles are up, mix items in
each section of the baskets with some
pointing up and some down to avoid
nesting. Spray cannot reach nested
items.
ADDING A DISH
To add or remove items after wash cycle starts:
CAUTION
TO AVOID BURN INJURY: Slightly open door
and wait until spray arms and wash action stop. Hot steam
may exit the dishwasher or hot water may splash out of it.
Failure to USE CAUTION may result in injury.
1
Open door slightly and wait a few seconds until wash action
stops before completely opening.
2
If the detergent dispenser is still closed, indicating the main
wash cycle has not started, you may add more dishes to the
dishwasher.
3
Touch the START/CANCEL pad, and close the door latch
firmly within 4 seconds. The cycle will automatically resume.
If the door is not closed within 4 seconds after touching
START/CANCEL, the cycle will time out and not start.
RINSE AID
Rinse aid greatly improves drying and reduces water spots and
filming. Without rinse aid, your dishes and dishwasher interior
will have excessive moisture. The Heat Dry option will not
perform as well without rinse aid. The Rinse Aid Dispenser,
located next to the Detergent Dispenser, automatically releases
a measured amount of rinse aid during the final rinse.
If spotting and poor drying are a problem, increase the amount
of rinse aid dispensed by rotating the dial to a higher number.
The dial is located under the dispenser cap.
If the rinse aid is low, the Rinse Aid Light is illuminated at the
beginning and end of the cycle indicating that it is time to refill.
