Quick Steps
Dishwasher Use
Prepare and Load the Dishwasher
IMPORTANT: Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other
hard items from the dishes. Remove labels from containers before
washing.
Rack loading
■ Make sure that when the dishwasher door is closed no items
are blocking the detergent dispenser.
■ Items should be loaded with soiled surfaces facing down and
inward to the spray as shown. This will improve cleaning and
drying results.
■ Avoid overlapping items like bowls or plates that may trap food.
■ Place plastics, small plates and glasses in the upper rack.
Wash only plastic items marked “dishwasher safe.”
■ To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation: Load
dishes so they do not touch one another. Make sure lightweight
load items are secured in the racks.

NOTE: If you do not plan
to run a wash cycle soon,
run a rinse cycle. Do not

■ Use automatic
dishwasher detergent
only. Add powder,
liquid or tablet
detergent just before
starting a cycle.

dishwasher detergent
results in better
cleaning. Store tightly closed detergent container in a cool, dry
place.
