■ 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.
■ Secure heavily soiled cookware face down in the rack.
■ 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.
Loading the
Silverware Basket
Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom rack or
take the basket out for loading on a counter or table.
NOTE: Unload or remove the basket before unloading the
racks to avoid spilling water droplets on the silverware.
Mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing
up and some down to avoid nesting. Spray cannot reach
nested items.
IMPORTANT: Always load sharp items (knives, skewers,
forks, etc.) pointing down.
NOTES:
■ 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.
USING YOUR
DISHWASHER
Detergent Dispenser
The detergent dispenser has 2 sections. The smaller Pre-
Wash section empties detergent into the dishwasher when
you close the door.
1. Main wash section
2.Cover latch
3. Pre-wash section
4. Cover
The larger Main Wash section automatically empties
detergent into the dishwasher during the wash. (See the
“Cycle Selection Chart.”)
■ Use automatic dishwashing detergent only. Other
detergents can produce excessive suds that can
overflow out of the dishwasher and reduce washing
performance.
■ Add detergent just before starting cycle.
■ 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.
Filling the dispenser
1. If the dispenser cover is closed, open the cover by
rotating the cover latch.
2. Fill the Main Wash section with detergent. See “How
Much Detergent to Use.”
