CARE AND CLEANING
Dish Preparation
Scrape away large pieces of food, bones,
pits, toothpicks, etc. The continuously
filtered wash fluid will remove remaining
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 o 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 disposer is
completely empty before starting
dishwasher.
Loading the Upper Rack
Features and appearance of racks and
silverware basket may vary from your
model.
The upper rack is designed for flexibility
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.

Loading the Cutlery Tray
The Cutlery Tray is designed for flatware
and most cooking or serving utensils.
Heavily soiled utensils or items with
baked on foods should be placed in the
upper rack or silverware basket for best
washing performance. The separators
on the cutlery tray help keep flatware
separated to avoid damage and improve
cleaning.

NOTE
Load cutlery as suggested with cutlery
handles placed inwards to optimize
cleaning performance.
