Manual abstract:
Many items, up to 13 in (33 cm) tall, fit in the bottom rack. (See recommended loading patterns shown. ) NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may
vary from the drawings shown. Place items so open ends face down for cleaning and draining. load glasses and cups in top rack only. The bottom rack is not
designed for glasses and cups. damage can occur. Place cups and glasses in the rows between tines. Placing them over the tines can lead to breakage and
water spots. Do not load glasses, cups, or plastic items in the bottom rack.
Load small items in the bottom rack only if they are secured in place. Load soup, cereal, and serving bowls in the rack in a variety of ways depending upon
their size and shape. Load bowls securely between the rows of tines. Do not nest bowls because the spray will not reach all surfaces. Cup and glass load
China, crystal, and other delicate items must not touch each other during dishwasher operation.
Only plastic items marked "dishwasher safe" are recommended. Load plastic items so the force of the spray does not move them during the cycle. To avoid
chipping, do not let stemware touch other items. Small bowls, pans, and other utensils can be placed in the top rack. Load bowls in the center section for best
stability.
Load cookie sheets, cake pans, and other large items at the sides and back. Loading such items in front can keep the water spray from reaching the detergent
dispenser. The smaller Pre-Wash section empties detergent into the dishwasher when you close the door. Make sure pot handles and other items do not stop
rotation of the spray arm(s). the spray arm(s) must move freely. Do not load items between the bottom rack and the side of the dishwasher tub. You can block
the water inlet opening. Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom rack or take the basket out for loading on a counter or table. The larger Main
Wash section automatically empties detergent into the dishwasher during the wash. Other detergents can produce excessive suds that can overflow out of the
dishwasher and reduce washing performance.
Store tightly closed detergent in a cool, dry place. Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning. NOTE: Do not use detergent with a rinse
cycle. If the dispenser cover is closed, open the cover by pushing the cover latch. Mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing up and some
down to avoid nesting. Fill the Main Wash section with detergent. NOTES: s Do not load silver or silver-plated silverware with stainless steel. These metals
can be damaged by contact with each other during washing. Some foods (such as salt, vinegar, milk products, fruit juices, etc. ) can pit or corrode silverware.
Run a rinse cycle if you do not have a full load to wash immediately. It is normal for the cover to open partially when dispensing detergent. NOTE: Use both
sections for cycles with 2 washes. Use only the main wash section for cycles with 1 wash. How much detergent to use The amount of detergent to use depends
on the hardness of your water and the type of detergent.
If you use too little, dishes won't be clean. If you use too much in soft water, glassware will etch. Water hardness can change over a period of time. Find out
your water's hardness by asking your local water department, water softener company, or county extension agent. You can order a water hardness test strip.
, call the Customer Interaction Center at 1-800-422-1230 and ask for Part Number 4171690. Different brands of dishwasher detergent have different amounts
of phosphorus for softening water. If you have hard water and use a detergent with a phosphorous content of less than 8. 7%, you might need to use more
detergent, or use a detergent with a phosphorous content higher than 8. Rinse aids prevent water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. They
also improve drying by allowing water to drain off of the dishes during the final rinse by releasing a small amount of the rinse aid into the rinse water. Your
dishwasher is designed to use a liquid rinse aid. Under normal conditions, this will last for about three months. You do not have to wait until the dispenser is
empty to refill it. Try to keep it full, but be careful not to overfill it.
