For Best Results
Hot water Is a must
For best cleaning and drying results, water
should be at least 140°F (60°C). TO have a
reliable hot water supply:
Maintain I 40°F (60°C) water supply at
central water heater. To check water
temperature, turn on hot water faucet
nearest the dishwasher. Let water run until
it is as hot as possible, then check with a
candy or meat thermometer. If the
temperature at the faucet is below 135°F
(57°C) have a qualified person raise the
water heater thermostat setting.
Quiet operating tlps
To avoid thumping and clattering noises
during operation:
l
Make sure lightweight load items are
secured in the rack.
l
Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza
pans, cookie sheets, etc. do not touch
interior walls or interfere with the spray
arm’s rotation or cover the spray lower.
. Load dishes so they don’t touch one
another.
NOTE: Keep sink drain plugs inserted
during dishwasher operation to prevent
noise transfer through drains.
Special tips on dishwasher use
Remember, use your dishwasher only for
the job it was designed to do. Some items
are not dishwasher safe or may require
special care. Read these special tips for the
following items:
Aluminum: Aluminum loses its bright,
shiny appearance and darkens in color due
to minerals in the water
and
the alkalinity of
the dishwasher detergent. Colored
aluminum may fade.
TfPS: If washed in the dishwasher avoid
placing directly in front of detergent
dispenser where it could be sprinkled with
undissolved detergent, causing spotting,
pitting, and discoloration. Follow utensil
manufacturer’s cleaning instructions.
China: Check with manufacturer for
cleaning instructions. Hand-painted, metal-
trimmed, and antique china fade due to
high water temperatures and alkaline
detergent solution in the dishwasher.
NOTE: Delicate, antique items should not
be washed in the dishwasher.
TIPS: Load china carefully. Do not allow
pieces to touch each other. Test one piece
by washing it daily in the dishwasher for
several weeks. Then compare it with the
rest of the set to see if colors have
changed.
Crystal and decorative glasses: Crystal
can break from sudden exposure to high
water temperature. Metal trim and cobrful
decoration on glass will fade in time when
washed in the dishwasher.
NOTE: Delicate, antique items should not
be washed in the dishwasher.
TIPS: Load crystal carefully in top rack
only. Be sure to bad a few larger items in
the bottom rack to reduce amount of force
of water spray reaching glassware from
bwer spray arm. Use the shortest cycle.
Flatware: Salty and acidic foods may
tarnish silver and stainless flatware if
allowed to remain on the utensib. A film
may form on sterling silver and silver plate
items washed in a dishwasher. This film is
caused by a reaction of silver with chbrine
in the detergent. Gold flatware is not
dlshwasher safe. The adhesive used in
some flatware with holbw handles is not
heat resistant, causing the handles to come
off in the dishwasher. Wash by hand.
TlPS: Rinse flatware as soon as possible,
especially if it is not to be washed right
away. Dishwasher detergent may remove
antique finishes. Wash by hand. Tarnish
and film build-up can be removed with silver
polish.
Cast Iron utensils: The seasoned finish
will be removed in the dishwasher. Rusting
will result.
TIPS: Wash by hand. To re-season, coat
with unsalted fat and heat in a slow oven for
an hour or two.
Plastics: Many plastics will have
“Dishwasher Safe” written on them. Some
plastics are heat sensitive and may meft or
warp.
TfPS: If in doubt, try one piece. Place in
upper rack only. Drying without heat
provides additional protection.
Non-stick finish utensils: Most can be
washed in the dishwasher.
TIPS: Follow manufadurets instructions.
Wood: Many wooden items will crack and
warp or lose their finish.
TlPS: Do not wash cutting boards,
wooden salad bowls or knives with wooden
handles in the dishwasher.
