HOW TO LOAD YOUR DISHWASHER This is u random mixed load, the most common type you will have. Make sure dishes are properly loaded to insure that water can reach the soiled surfaces. The wash arm in the bottom sprays water up. The tower that rises in the center sends water out over the dishes to wash the items in the upper rack. A spray arm in the top washes down also. Make sure to place tall items to the outside so the upper wash arm is not blocked. WATCH OUT FOR THIS.
HOW TO LOAD YOUR DIS~ASHER Shelf Up Fold the folding shelf up for glasses and tall things. Place tall items to the outside so the upper wash arm is not blocked. Shelf Down The folding shelf gives you extra space for cups and long utensils on two levels. Load the lower level first, then fold the shelf down. HOW TO LOAD THE BOTTOM RACK Fit plates and saucers between the pins. Load platters, pots and bowls along the sides, in corners or in the back.
HOW TO LOAD T~ BOTTOM WCK Heavily soiled pots, pans and casseroles MUST be loaded in the bottom rack, facing down. Prop broiler pans and racks along the edge. Precaution! Take out anything that may fall or extend through the bottom of the basket. Put flatware in the removable basket with handles up to protect your hands. Mix knives, forks and spoons so they don’t nest together. Distribute evenly.
