How To Load Your Dishwasher
This is a random “mixed-load’”... the most com-
mon type you will have.
Both racks of your dishwasher may be loaded
at random as illustrated. As you pull out the
racks, you’ll find the upper rack rests on the
lower rack supports. When loading the dish-
washer, set the upper rack on your countertop
and load it there. Fill the lower rack in the dish-
washer.
Pots
and pans, casseroles and other items with
heavy, dried-on and baked-on soils must be
loaded in the lower rack with the open end
down, facing directly toward the wash arm be-
low the lower rack. Shallow items may be
angled provided the lower side does not shield
soiled surface inside from direct water action.
Lightly-soiled items may be loaded in either
the upper or lower rack, with the soiled surfaces
facing downward toward the center as illustrated.
