WATER HEATER SAFETY Under certain conditions hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water has not been used for two weeks or more, prevent the possibility of damage or injury by turning on all hot water faucets and allowing them to run for several minutes.

Using the dishwasher Dishwasher Water Temperature The entering water must be at least 120°F (49°C) and not more than 150°F (66°C), for effective cleaning and to prevent dish damage. Check the water temperature with a candy or meat thermometer. Turn on the hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher, place the thermometer in a glass and let the water run continuously into the glass until the temperature stops rising.
Using the dishwasher Dishwasher Detergents Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers. Cascade®, Cascade Complete® and Electrasol® Automatic Dishwashing Detergents have been approved for use in all Monogram Dishwashers. Keep your powdered detergent fresh and dry. Don’t put detergent into the dispenser until you’re ready to wash dishes. All wash cycles except RINSE ONLY require detergent in the main and pre-wash cup.
Loading the Racks Dishwasher Upper Rack Features and appearance of racks and silverware basket may vary from your model. Although the upper rack is for glasses, cups and saucers, pots and pans can be placed in this rack for effective cleaning. Cups and glasses fit best along the sides and should be placed open-end down. This is also a secure place for dishwasher plastics. The utility shelf (on some models) may be placed in the up or down position to add flexibility.
Loading the Racks Dishwasher Adjustable Upper Rack (on some models) The standard position of your adjustable rack is “up” which allows for maximum clearance for your taller items in the lower rack. If you have taller wine glasses, tumblers or other items to place in the upper rack, you may want to adjust the rack to the lower position.
Lower Rack Remove the Upper Rack The lower rack is best used for plates, saucers and cookware. Large items such as broiler pans and baking racks should go along the left-hand side. Load platters, pots and bowls along the sides, in corners or in the back. The soiled side of items should face the center of the rack. If necessary, oversized glasses and mugs can be placed in the lower rack to maximize loading flexibility.
Loading the Racks Dishwasher Follow these guidelines for loading 10 and 12 place settings 16 Features and appearance of racks and silverware baskets may vary from your model.
