NOTES:
Do not load silver or silver-plated silverware with stainless

other during washing.
Some foods (such as salt, vinegar, milk products, fruit juices,
etc.) can pit or corrode silverware. Run a rinse cycle if you do
not have a full load to wash immediately.
Cutlery Basket (on some models)
Use the cutlery basket to hold long items. Always unload or
remove the cutlery basket before unloading the racks to avoid
spilling water onto the cutlery.

Remove the basket and tip the contents onto a cutting
board to unload. This helps avoid accidents with sharp points
and edges.

The Utensil Caddy has three hooks. (See arrows.) For best wash
performance, hook the Utensil Caddy in the right rear corner of
the lower rack. You can also hook it in the left front corner.
NOTE:
Spin the top spray arm. Be sure items in the Utensil
Caddy do not stop the rotation of the spray arm.
DISHWASHER USE
Detergent Dispenser
The detergent dispenser has 2 sections. The Pre-Wash section
empties detergent into the dishwasher when you close the door.
1. Cover
2. Main wash section
3. Cover latch
4. Pre-Wash section
The Main Wash section automatically empties detergent into the
dishwasher during the main wash. (See the Cycle Selection
Chart.)
Use automatic dishwashing detergent only. Other detergents
can produce excessive suds that can overflow out of the
dishwasher and reduce washing performance.
Add detergent just before starting cycle.
Store tightly closed detergent in a cool, dry place. Fresh
automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning.
NOTE:
Do not use detergent with a rinse cycle.
Filling the dispenser
1.
If the dispenser cover is closed, open the cover by pushing
the Cover latch.
2.
Fill the Main Wash section with detergent. See How Much
Detergent to Use.
3.
Close the Main Wash dispenser cover. Fill the Pre-Wash
section if needed.
It is normal for the cover to open partially when dispensing
detergent.
NOTE:
Use both sections for cycles with 2 washes. Use only the
covered section for cycles with 1 wash. See the Cycle Selection
Chart for more details.
