Loading the Dishwasher
• Use the Rinse Only cycle if waiting an extended
period of time before washing.
• Pre-soak and hand-scour pots and pans with
burned-on or blackened food.
• Do not place foreign objects, such as
toothpicks, paper products, plastic bags, or
packaging materials, into the dishwasher!
Pre-Load Preparation
• Remove large particles of food from the dishes
before food has a chance to dry but rinsing is not
necessary.
Food soils will actually
enhance the detergent’s
performance.
• Load dishwasher so water can circulate freely and
reach every part of item.
• Do not allow delicate items to touch; they could
be damaged.
• Place items upside down so water does not collect
inside of them.
• Place items so that nothing protrudes through the
bottom of the racks;
this could block the rotation
of the spray arms.
General Loading Tips
Before loading the dishwasher,
review the material chart pro-
vided on Page 5.
Place large and/or heavily soiled items in the bottom
rack of the dishwasher. Load heavily soiled pots and
pans face down, as shown in Figure 4.
For larger items, fold down the rear tines on the bot-
tom rack. When in the down position, they can hold
extra large utensils, such as serving spoons or large
knives.
