BEFORE YOU START
Don’t prerinse. Simply scrape off any
bones or large food particles.
• If connected to a food waste disposer,
make certain the disposer is empty
before starting the dishwasher.
Scrape off tomato-based food soils
(see page 8).
Remove certain foods (such as mus-
tard,mayonnaise, lemon juice, vinegar,salt
or dressings) from stainless steel flat-
ware as soon as possible. These foods
may cause rusting and pitting if allowed to
remain in contact with the surface for an
extended period of time.
GENERAL
RECOMMENDATIONS
• Items can be centered behind a single
tine or loaded at an angle to maximize
space.
Avoid blocking or preventing the spray
arms from spinning freely. Do not allow
items to extend beyond the racks.
RECOMMENDED
LOADING
(Rack features vary by model)
For best dishwashing results follow these
guidelines to determine the best arrange-
ment for your items.
UPPER RACK
Glasses, cups, stemware, light-weight plas-
tics, plates, bowls, pans, long-handled uten-
sils etc. can be loaded in this rack. Do not
load glasses over the tines.
The Stack-Rack (select models) on the right
side of the upper rack folds up or down for
loading flexibility. 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 glasses, bowls,plates, etc.
The Stack-Rack is designed to hold
stemware in place.Taller stemware will fit
better on the right side as the upper rack
is deeper on this side.
The folding tines (select models) located in
the front right corner provide convenient
loading space for large, bulky items like
pots and pans or mixing bowls
The cup clips (select models) located in
the center of the upper rack can be used
to hold light weight plastic items, cooking
utensils, knives, etc. in place. Clip the item
between the tine and the clip.
The Vari-Lock
Snugger (select models)
on the left secures lightweight items in
place. It can be adjusted by grasping the
wavy wire and rotating it left to snug items
against the outer rack or to the right to
rest on top of light items. Do not load
items on top of the wire.
For best results with tall glasses, align the
Vari-Lock
Snugger (select models) wavy
wire with the arrow on the rack clip. Rest
the bottom of the glass against the wavy
wire.
