Proper Loading
Preparation for loading
It is not necessary to rinse dishes before
putting them into the dishwasher. Just
remove large pieces and quantities of food
and bones. The filtering system helps keep
food particles out of the wash water. Small
particles are flushed away as water is
pumped out. Larger particles are trapped
on the filter screen system. Refer to
“Dishwasher care and cleaning” on page 6
for filter screen cleaning instructions.
Always load dishes so soiled surfaces are
reached by spray from rotating spray arm.
Water must be able to drain off completely
for best drying results. Be careful to
separate items so spray can reach all
surfaces.
