OPERATING YOUR DISHWASHER
1. Prepare and load the dishwasher
10-place load – upper rack 10-pace load – lower rack
12-place load – upper rack 12-place load – lower rack
IMPORTANT: Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks, and other hard
items from dishes. Remove labels from containers before washing.
■ Make sure when dishwasher door is closed no items are blocking
detergent dispenser.
■ Items should be loaded with soiled surfaces facing down and
inward to the spray as shown in the graphics above. This will
improve cleaning and drying results. Angle dirtiest dish surface
downward, allowing space for water to flow up through rack and
between dishes.
■ Avoid overlapping items, like bowls or plates that may trap food.
■ Place plastics, small plates, and glasses in upper rack.
■ Wash only items marked “dishwasher safe.”
■ To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation: Load dishes
so they do not touch one another. Make sure lightweight load
items are secured in racks.
■ When loading silverware, always place sharp items pointing down
and avoid “nesting” as shown. If your silverware does not fit into
the designated slots, lift and slide covers off to remove them and
mix silverware types to keep them separated.
■ Use slots in the covers and suggested loading patterns to keep
your silverware separated for optimum wash. See the complete
online User Instructions for detailed illustrations.
2. Check that all arms spin freely
Items in the rack can block
the spray arms.
3. Add detergent
Premeasured Detergents
High quality premeasured tablets and packs are recommended for
improved performance.
Quality tablets and packs have been proven better than powder,
liquid, or gel detergents at reducing filming on dishes. Using tablets
and packs over time will start to reduce or eliminate white film. They
are suitable for all water hardness and soil levels. Also, by using a
rinse aid, you can minimize repeat buildup of white film (not all packs
and tablets contain rinse aid). Always place premeasured detergents
in main compartment and close lid.
SLIDE
Dispensers vary by model.
NOTE: Follow instructions on the package when using other
dishwasher detergent types. See the complete owners manual
for more details about powders, liquids, and gels.
■ Use automatic dishwasher detergent only. Add detergent just
before starting a cycle.
■ Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning.
Store tightly closed detergent container in a cool, dry place.
