Bottom rack loading
Items with cooked-on or dried-on food should
be loaded in the bottom rack, with soiled surfaces
facing inward to the spray.
Mixed load
. Make sure pot handles and other items do not
stop rotation of either the upper or lower spray
arm. Spray arms must move freely.
. Securely place heavily soiled cookware face
down in rack.
Dish load
l
Place plates, soup bowls, etc., between prongs
and facing inward to the spray.
. Do not place items directly over spray tower.
Utensil load
. Load cookie sheets, cake pans and other large
items at sides and back. Loading such items in
front may keep water spray from reaching
detergent dispenser.
NOTE:
l
Do not load glasses, cups or plastic items in
the bottom rack.
. When lower rack is removed, replace with
bumpers in front.

Silverware basket loading
Load forks and spoons so they don’t nest
together. Spray can’t reach nested items.
Mix items in each section of the basket. Small
items - baby bottle caps, jar lids, etc. -can be
put in any section.
The silverware basket can be loaded while it’s in
place on the door, or it can be taken out for loading
on the counter or table.
It can also be removed for easy unloading.
Always unload or remove the basket before un-
loading the racks to avoid spilling water droplets
on the silverware.
To remove the basket, slide it toward the top
of the door-by the handle. Lift it off the holding
buttons. Replace it in reverse order.
To open the basket, unhook the latch as
shown. Be sure the cover is completely latched
before pulling out the bottom rack and before
closing the dishwasher door.
To avoid cuts from sharp items (knives,
forks, skewers, etc.), make sure these items
are put in point down.
