Proper Loading
Preparation for loading
It is not necessary to rinse dishes before
putting them into the dishwasher. Just
remove large pieces and quantities of
food and bones. The filtering system
helps keep food particles out of the wash
water. Small particles are flushed away
as water is pumped out. Larger particles
are trapped on the filter screen system.
Refer to “Dishwasher care and cleaning”
on page 9 for filter screen cleaning
instructions.
Always load dishes so soiled surfaces
are reached by spray from rotating spray
arm. Water must be able to drain off
completely for best drying results. Be
careful to separate items so spray can
reach all surfaces.
Top rack loading
The top rack is designed for cups,
glasses and smaller items.
