PREPARING AND LOADING DISHES
Dish Preparation
Scrape away large pieces of food, bones,
pits, toothpicks, etc. The continuously
fi ltered wash fl uid will remove remaining
food particles. Burned-on foods should be
loosened before loading. Empty liquids from
glasses and cups.
Foods such as mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar,
lemon juice and tomato based products may
cause discoloration of stainless steel and
plastics if allowed to sit for a long period of
time. Unless the dishwasher is to be operated
at once, it is best to pre-rinse or use the
RINSE ONLY cycle to rinse off these food soils.
• Load racks so that large items do not
prevent the detergent dispenser from
opening.
• Check manufacturer’s recommendations
before washing items in question.
• If the dishwasher drains into a Food
Disposer, be sure disposer is
completely empty before starting
dishwasher.

Some models have a fold-down cup shelf or
a cup shelf/stemware holder. They can be
used to load two levels of cups, juice glasses,
and other short items. Stagger items on
upper level so that water can reach all inside
surfaces. Fold up to load tall glasses.
Long-handled knives and utensils can be
placed in top rack.
Be sure nothing protrudes through the bottom
of the rack to block rotation of middle spray
arm.
