Dishwasher Use
STEP 1
Prepare and Load the Dishwasher
IMPORTANT: Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks, and
other hard items from the dishes. Remove labels from containers
before washing.
Upper rack
Lower rack
■
Check that nothing blocks the upper or lower spray arm.
Items in rack can block
the spray arms.
■
Check that when the dishwasher door is closed, no items
are blocking the detergent dispenser.
■
Tough soiled items should be loaded with soiled surfaces
facing down and inward to the spray. This will improve
cleaning and drying results.
■
Avoid overlapping items like bowls or plates that may
trap food.
■
Place plastics, small plates, and glasses in the upper rack.
Wash only plastic items marked “dishwasher safe.”
■
To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation,
load dishes so they do not touch one another. Make sure
lightweight load items are secured in the racks.
■
When loading silverware, always place sharp items pointing
down. Mix items in each section of the basket with some
pointing up and some down to avoid nesting. Spray cannot
reach nested items.
■
Use slots in the covers and suggested loading patterns
to keep your silverware separated for optimum wash.
PUSH
NOTE: The AnyWare™ silverware basket will fit on the inner door,
on the front of the lower rack, and inside the lower rack.
STEP 2
Add Detergent
NOTE: If you do not plan to run a wash cycle soon, run a rinse
cycle. Do not use detergent.
■
Use automatic dishwasher detergent only. Add powder,
liquid, or tablet detergent just before starting a cycle.

Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better
cleaning. Store tightly closed detergent container in a cool,
dry place.
■
For optimum performance, tablet detergent is recommended.
■
The amount of detergent to use depends on:
How much soil remains on the items – Heavily soiled
loads require more detergent.
The hardness of the water – If you use too little detergent in
hard water, dishes won’t be clean. If you use too much in soft
water, glassware will etch.
Soft to Medium Water (0 to 6 grains per U.S. gallon)
[typical water softener water and some city water]
Medium to Hard Water (7 to 12 grains per U.S. gallon)
[well water and some city water]
■
Depending on your water hardness, fill the Main Wash section
of the dispenser as shown. Fill the Pre-Wash section to the
level shown for heavily soiled items.
NOTE: Fill amounts shown are for standard powdered detergent.
Follow instructions on the package when using other dishwasher
detergent.
