Loading Your Dishwasher
warning
• Place sharp objects in the silverware basket
or knives in the knife stand (see page 6).
If it is not possible to load sharp objects in
the silverware basket, load them with the
sharp end toward the back of the dishwasher.
Locate these items where they will not
damage the door seal or cause personal
injury.
• When loading the silverware basket, insert all
sharp or pointed objects with the handles up.
caution
Do not wash plastic items unless they are
marked “dishwasher safe.” Always check the
manufacturer’s recommendation before washing
plastic items that are not marked.
important
If the load will sit for a while before washing, run
the Rinse and Hold cycle to reduce the chance
of food hardening. Doing so will also reduce the
risk of acidic foods damaging metal surfaces.
