DETERGENT DISPENSER:
A properly loaded dishwasher is key for optimal performance. Never overfill the
dishwasher as it can reduce the unit’s efficiency. Improper placement of items can
also affect the dishwasher’s performance. Position the dishes and utensils so they
are secure during the wash cycle and will not be moved by sprayed water.
NOTE: DO NOT wash items that are not listed as dishwasher safe.
NOTE: Some types of glasses may become dull after a large number of washes.
NOTE: Silver and aluminum may tarnish or discolor during washing.
NOTE: Cast iron items may rust after being washed in a dishwasher.
For best performance, follow these guidelines when loading:
1. Scrape off any large amounts of leftover food. Soak burnt food in pans to
loosen. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running water.
2. Place items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans etc. face down so that water will
not collect in them.
3. Curved items, or those with recesses, should be loaded at a slant so that water
can run off.
4. All utensils should be placed in a manner so that they cannot tip over.
5. All utensils should be placed in the way that prevents them from interfering
with the spray arm during washing.
6. Items should not be inside one another or covering other items.
7. DO NOT let large glasses touch each other. Doing so may damage them.
8. Most silverware should be placed in the cutlery basket with handles down.
9. Small knives and sharp objects should be placed handle up to prevent injury.
10. Large sharp objects such as long-bladed knives can present a hazard and
should be placed horizontally in the rack.
11. DO NOT put small items that can fall out of the basket in the dishwasher.
12. DO NOT overload your dishwasher.
13. When pushing the basket back, do not let any sharp utensils cut the door
seal/gasket.
14. The top coating of the basket should not be scratched; otherwise, it may rust.
15. Move the spray arms manually after pushing the basket in, to check if the
spray arms can freely rotate.
Dishwasher detergent is necessary to remove food from dishes and help move it
out of the dishwasher. Only use detergents that are specifically made for dishwash-
ers. Fill the detergent dispenser before the start of each wash. ALWAYS add the
detergent just before starting the dishwasher to avoid it getting wet as that may
prevent it from dissolving properly.
DETERGENTS:
If powdered detergents that do not contain phosphate are used with hard water,
white spots may appear on dishes. If this occurs, add more detergent to the
dishwasher for better results. Detergents that do not have chlorine may not
completely remove food and spots from dishes. If this occurs, choose a wash
program with a higher temperature.
DETERGENT TABLETS/PODS:
Different brands of detergent tablets/pods dissolve at different rates. For this
reason, some tablets/pods may not fully dissolve and therefore may not fully clean
the dishes. When using tablets/pods, be sure to use a longer wash program to
ensure that the tablet dissolves and that all residual detergent is rinsed out of the
dishwasher.
To add the detergent powder, or a tablet/pod:
1. Press the release button on the detergent compartment.
2. The cover will open.
3. Add a detergent powder, or a tablet/pod.
4. Close the cover.
A: Powder
B: Tablet
WARNING: DO NOT allow any item to stick out below the dish rack as that may
interfere with the spray arm and damage the dishwasher.
WARNING: DO NOT load any sharp objects point up. Place them point down or
lay them horizontally in the rack.
ALWAYS position the dishes and cookware in a manner that will prevent them
from being moved by spraying water.
