LOADING YOUR
DISHWASHER
Loading Suggestions
■
Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other
hard items from the dishes. It is not necessary to rinse
the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher.
NOTE: If hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts, and egg
shells enter the wash system, you might hear chopping,
grinding, crunching, or buzzing sounds. These sounds are
normal. Do not let metallic items (such as pot handle
screws) get into the wash system. Damage can occur.
■
Load dishes so soiled surfaces face the spray (down or
inward). It is important for the water spray to reach all
soiled surfaces.
■
Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping if
possible. For best drying, water must be able to drain
from all surfaces.
■
Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie
sheets, etc., do not interfere with the spray arm
rotation.
■
Run a rinse cycle to keep dishes moist if you do not
plan to wash them soon. Foods like eggs, rice, pasta,
spinach, and cooked cereals may be hard to remove if
they are left to dry over a period of time.
Quiet operating tips
To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation:
■
Make sure lightweight load items are secured in the
racks.
■
Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie
sheets, etc., do not touch interior walls or interfere with
the rotation of the spray arm.
■
Load dishes so they do not touch one another.
NOTE: For built-in models, keep sink drain plugs closed
during dishwasher operation to prevent noise transfer
through drains.
Loading the Top Rack
The top rack is designed for cups, glasses, and smaller
items. (See recommended loading patterns shown.)
NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary
from the drawings shown.
Do not cover third level spray (on some models). See
arrow.
Cup and glass load
Mixed load
■
Place items so open ends face down for cleaning and
draining.
■
Load glasses and cups in top rack only. The bottom
rack is not designed for glasses and cups. Damage can
occur.
■
Place cups and glasses in the rows between prongs.
Placing them over the prongs can lead to breakage.
■
To avoid chipping, do not let stemware touch other
items.
■
China, crystal, and other delicate items must not touch
each other during dishwasher operation. Damage can
occur.
■
Wedge lightweight items against one another or
overlap them with heavier dishes.
■
Load plastic items securely in the top rack only. Wash
only plastic items marked “dishwasher safe.”
■
Small bowls, pans, and other utensils can be placed in
the top rack. Load bowls in the center section for best
stability.
