Preparing to load the dishwasher
• To save water and energy, do not rinse
dishes before putting them into the
dishwasher.
• Remove large pieces of food, bones, and
other hard items. The POWER CLEAN*
filter module removes food particles from
the water. The module contains a chopping
device which reduces the size of food
items.
NOTE: If hard items such as fruit seeds,
nuts, and egg shells enter the
POWER CLEAN filter module, you might
hear chopping, grinding, crunching, or
buzzing sounds. Those sounds are normal
when hard items enter the module. Do not
let metallic items (such as pot handle
screws) get into the POWER CLEAN filter
module. Damage can occur.
• Foods like eggs, rice, pasta, and cooked
cereals may be hard to remove if left to
dry over a period of time. Run a Rinse
Only cycle to keep dishes moist if you do
not plan to wash them soon.
• Load dishes so soiled surfaces face the
rotating spray arm.
• Load dishes so they are not stacked or
overlapping. It is important for the water
spray to reach all soiled surfaces for best
washing. For best drying, water must be
able to drain from all surfaces.
Loading for quiet operation
• Secure lightweight load items in the racks.
• Pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie
sheets, etc. should not touch interior walls
or interfere with the spray arm’s rotation.
• Load dishes so they do not touch one
another.
NOTE: For built-in models, keep sink
drain plugs inserted during dishwasher
operation to prevent noise transfer through
drains.
