PREPARING AND LOADING DISHES
NOTE
Racks and Features in your dishwasher model may vary in
appearance from illustrations in this manual.
Dish Preparation
Scrape away large pieces of food, bones, pits, toothpicks,
etc. The continuously ltered wash uid will remove remain-
ing 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 is to be operated at once,
it is best to pre-rinse or use the rinse only cycle to rinse off
these food soils.
Load racks so that large items do not prevent the detergent
dispenser from opening.
Check manufacturer’s recommendations before washing
items in question.
If the dishwasher drains into a Food Disposer, be sure dis-
poser is completely empty before starting dishwasher.
Loading the Cutlery Rack
The Cutlery Rack is designed for atware and most cook-
ing or serving utensils. Heavily soiled utensils or items with
baked on foods should be placed in the upper rack or sil-
verware basket for best washing performance. The seper-
ators on the cutlery racks help keep atware separated to
avoid damage and improve cleaning.
Loading the Upper Rack
Features and appearance of racks and silverware basket
may vary from your model.
The upper rack is designed for exibility in loading a wide
variety of items including cups, glasses, stemware, small
plates, bowls, etc.
Load glasses and plastic items in Upper rack only.
Load items with open end facing down for better cleaning
and draining.
Damage may occur if delicate items touch each other
during dishwasher operation.
Long-handled knives and utensils can be placed in Upper
rack.
Be sure nothing protrudes through the bottom of the rack to
block rotation of middle spray arm.
