the dishwasher drain completely. Then

open the door and turn the Cycle Control

Loading Your Dishwasher

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

Preparing to load the dishwasher

To save water and energy, do not rinse

diis before putting them into the

dishwasher.

Remove large pieces of food, bones, and

other hard items.

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 8

HOLD cyde to keep dishes moist if you do

not plan to wash them scwx.

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 load 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 silverware basket

Personal Injury Hazard

Load sharp items (knives, forks,

skewers, etc.) with the point down.

Failure to do so could cause personal

injury.

Load the silverware basket while it is in the

bottom rack or take the basket out for

loading on a counter or table.

NOTE: The loaded basket must be placed

in the center front (over the spray tower) of

the bottom rack for proper washing.

Mix items in each section of the basket

with some pointing up and some down to

avoid nesting. Spray cannot reach nested

items. However, always load sharp items

(knives, skewers, forks, etc.) pointing

down.

Put small items (baby bottle caps, jar lids,

etc.) in any section.

You can also remove the basket for easy

unloading. Always unfoad or remove the

basket before unloading the racks to avoid

spilling water on the silverware. 7

in the bottom rack, with soiled surfaces

facing inward to the spray.

Using the Dispensers

For best washing results, review the information below. It is important to use detergents and

rinse agents properly.

Using the detergent dispenser

Uss automatic dishwashing detergent

only.

Other detergents are too mild and

much too sudsy.

Add detergent just before starting cycle.

Store detergent tightlycbsed in a cool, dry

place.

Fresh automatic dishwasher

detergent results in better cleaning.

Filling the detergent dispenser

The detergent

dispenser has one section

with a cover and one without. Push cover

down fim until it latches. Detergent in the

open section falls into the dishwasher when

closing the door. The covered section opens

automatically for the main wash.

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. lf 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 local water department, water soft-

ener company, or county extension agent.
