Loading Tips
Removable Utensil Basket
(Features vary slightly by model.)
For best cleaning results, prevent items from nesting together
by placing some items in the basket with handles up and some
with handles down. Load knives, handles up, through the
slots in the covered section when closed (select models).
Be sur
e that thin, finely pointed items do not extend through
the basket. This could block the lower wash arm.
Small, lightweight items like baby spoons and plastic
measuring spoons should be placed in the cover
ed section
(select models) of the basket for washing.
Upper Rack (Features vary slightly by model.)
This rack is designed to hold
glasses, cups, small plates,
bowls, cookware, etc. Small
plates or bowls should be
loaded with soiled surfaces
facing the center of the rack. Do
not load glasses over tines.
The Twin Shelf (select models)
on the right side of the upper
rack folds up or down. Fold it
down to hold long-handled
knives, spatulas and spoons or short items like cups or juice
glasses. Fold it up for taller items like bowls, plates, etc.
Scrape off bones or large food particles. Remove excessive
quantities of greasy/oily substances.
Scrape or soak items with burnt on foods as they require
more energy than the rest of the load to clean.
Scrape off tomato based food soils.
If connected to a food waste disposer, make certain the
disposer is empty before starting the dishwasher. This
allows proper draining.
Mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon and other acidic
foods can cause rust or discoloration on stainless steel.
Rinse these pieces as soon as possible.
Starch from foods like potatoes, pasta, rice and oatmeal
require more energy to clean than the rest of the load.
Place all items in the racks so they are separated and facing
the center of the racks.
Wedge flat, lightweight items next to the silverware basket
or along the sides and back of the racks.
Load items so they do not rest over the wash tower located
i
n the center of the lower rack.
Avoid blocking the upper and lower spray arms by not
allowing items to extend beyond the racks.
Place glasses in any row of the upper rack for proper
cleaning and rinsing. Do not load glasses over the tines.
Lower Rack
(Features vary slightly by model.)
Large items may be placed in any convenient location in this
rack. Keep soiled surfaces facing the center of the rack.
The back of this rack accommodates a row of dinner plates or
two rows of smaller plates. Serving bowls and large pans fit
across the front of the rack or on the left side.
Folding tines (select models) located on the right side,
provide loading flexibility for large-shaped items.
Removing the Upper Rack
The upper rack can be removed when tall or oversized items
need to be loaded into the lower rack.
