Loading Your Dishwasher

This section tells how to properly load your dishwasher for best washing and rinsing results.

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 CLEANTM

module remves food particles from the

water. The module contains a chopping

device whit reduces the size of food items.

NOTE: If hard items such as fruit seeds,

nuts, and egg shells enter the POWER

CLEAN 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 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/WASH

LATER 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. lt 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 bad items in the racks.

Pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie

sheets, etc. should not touch interior walls,

interfere with the spray arm’s rotation, or

cover the spray tower.

Load dishes so they do not touch one

another.

NOTE: Keep

sink

drain plugs inserted

during dishwasher operation to prevent

noise transfer through drains.

Loading the cutlery basket

Use the cutlery basket to hold long items.

Always unload or remove the cutlery basket

before unloading the racks to avoid spilling

water on the cutlery.

IMPORTANT: Remove the basket and tip

the contents onto a cutting board to unload.

This helps avoid accidents with sharp points

and edges.

1. Grasp the basket on both sides and slide

it toward the top of the door.

2. Lii the basket off the holding buttons.

To replace the cutlery basket:

1. Set the basket on the hokfing buttons.

2. Slide the basket toward the bottom of the

door until it locks into place.

Loading the silverware basket

skewers, etc.) with the point down.

Failure to do so coukf cause personal

injury.

Load the silvemrare basket while it is in the

door or take the basket out for loading on a

counter or table.

Mix Items in each section of the basket

wfth some pointing up and some down to

avoid nesting. Spray cannot reach nested

items. However, always bad sharp items

(knives, skewers, forks, etc.) pointing

&Wll.

Put small items (baby bottle caps, jar lids,

etc.) in any section.

You can also remove the basket for easy

Loading the bottom rack

Load items with cooked-on or dried-on food

in the bottom rack, with soiled surfaces

facing inward to the spray.

Mixed load

Load plates, soup bowls, etc., between

prongs and facing inward to the spray.

Make sure pot handles and other items do

not stop rotation of the spray arms. Spray

arms must move freely.

Load items so they do not block or cover

the spray tower.

Load heavily-soiled cookware face down

in the rack.

Do not stack or overlap dishes. Water

spray must reach all soiled surfaces for

best results.

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 and

silverware basket.

NOTE:

Do not load glasses, cups, or plastic items

in the bottom rack.

Do not load items between the bottom rack

and the side of the dishwasher tub. This

can block the water inlet opening.

unloading or cleaning, replace it with

bumpers in front.

How much detergent to use

The amount of detergent to use depends

on the hardness of your water and the type

of detergent. If you use too little, dishes

won’t be clean. If you use too much in soft

water, glassware will etch.

Different brands of dishwasher detergent

have different amounts of phosphorus for

softening water. If you have hard water

and use bw phosphorus content detergent

(6.0%

or less), you may need to use more

detergent or use a detergent with a higher

phosphorus content (8.7%).

Find out your water’s hardness by asking

your focal water department, water soft-

ener company, or county extension agent.
