Preparing and Loading Dishes
Loading the Top Rack
Glasses and cups--Placeglassesand cups against
outside pins at an angle. Cups with a concave bottom will
collect water.
Small plates and saucers--Place dishes between
middle two rows of pins.
Plasticware--Load plasticware in the top rack to avoid
melting.
Bowls--Place bowls between the middle 2 rows of pins
facing down.
Miscellaneous items--Place long handled knives and
utensils in top rack.
Cup Shelf--The cup shelf can be folded down over short
items (juice glasses, cups, etc.) for more loading space.
When using cup shelf, alternate items with layer below so
that water can reach all inside surfaces.
Loading the Silverware Basket
Load sharp items with handles up. Be sure items do
not protrude through the holes in the basket and stop the
rotation of the spray arm.
Load silverware so items are mixed in each section to
prevent nesting. Water spray cannot effectively reach
nested items.
Loading the Bottom Rack
Large plates and platters--Place between the support
pins with soiled sides facing inward.
Bowls, casseroles and sauce pans-- Load upside
down or at an angle facing inward. Slightly tilting items
will provide better drainage.
Pots and pans--Place upside down and at an angle. Do
not allow handles to protrude through bottom of rack,
blocking wash arm rotation. Load large items at the sides
and not across the front so they do not block the detergent
dispenser preventing it from opening.
ADDING A DISH
1. Make sure there is a full wash cycle yet to be
completed so that any added items are thoroughly
washed and rinsed.
2. Unlatch door and wait for water action to stop.
3. Open door and add dish.
4. Firmly close door to latch and resume cycle.
