indicates the following activity:
Dish Preparation
Scrape away large pieces of food, bones, pits, toothpicks,
etc. The continuously filtered wash fluid will remove
remaining food particles. Burned-on foods should be
loosened before loading. Empty liquids from glasses and
cups.
Foods such as mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice
and tomato based products may cause discoloration of
stainless steel and plastics if allowed to sit for a long
period of time. Unless the dishwasher is to be operated at
once, it is best to pre-rinse or use the Rinse Only cycle to
rinse off these food soils.
• Load racks so that large items do not prevent the
detergent dispenser from opening.
• Check manufacturer's
recommendations
before washing items
in question.
• If the dishwasher
drains into a food
disposer, be sure
disposer is
completely empty
before starting
the dishwasher.
Loading the Top Rack
Features and appearance of racks and silverware basket
may vary from your model.
The upper rack is designed for flexibility in loading a wide
variety of items including cups, glasses, stemware, small
plates, bowls, etc.
Load glasses in top rack. Damage may occur if placed in
bottom rack.
Load plastic items in top rack only. Melting may occur if
placed in bottom rack.
Load items with open ends facing down for better cleaning
and draining.
Damage may occur if delicate items touch each other during
dishwasher operation.
Long-handled knives and utensils can be placed in top rack.
Be sure nothing protrudes through the bottom of the rack
to block rotation of middle spray arm.
With the exception of the Rinse Only cycle, the CLEAN light
will come on at end of cycle and remain on until door is
opened.
