Proper Loading
Cup and glass load
Preparation for loading
It is not necessary to rinse dishes before
putting them into the dishwasher.
Just
remove large pieces, bones and other hard items.
The POWER CLEAN'" Module will remove food
particles from the water. It contains a chopping
device which will reduce the size of food items.
If hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts and egg
shells enter the POWER CLEAN Module, you
might hear chopping, grinding, crunching or buzz­
ing sounds. Those sounds are normal when hard
items enter the module.
Do not let metallic items
(i.e. pot handle screws) get into the POWER
CLEAN Module. This could result in damage to the
POWER CLEAN Module.
Always load dishes so soiled surfaces are
reached by spray from rotating spray arms. Water
must be able to drain off completely for best drying
results. Be careful to separate items so spray can
.reach all surfaces.

Top rack loading
The top rack is designed for cups, glasses and
smaller items.
Cup and glass load
• Place so open ends face down for cleaning
and draining.
• Load glasses in top rack only. Bottom rack is
not designed for glasses. Damage may occur.
• Place items in the rows between prongs. Plac­
ing them over the prongs can lead to breakage.
• Be sure lightweight items are held firmly in place.
• China, crystal and other delicate items must not
touch each other during dishwasher operation.
Damage may occur.
Mixed load
• Load plastic items only in the top rack.
Only plastic items marked “dishwasher safe"
are recommended.
• Load plastic items so the force of the spray does
not move them during the cycle.
• Plastic items can be melted in the bottom rack.
Utensil load
• Small bowls, pans and other utensils can be
placed in the top rack.
