Loading Your Dishwasher
This section tells how to properly load your dishwasher for best washing and rinsing results.
Preparing to load the dishwasher
• To save water and energy, do not rinse
dishes before putting them into the
dishwasher.
• Remove large pieces of food, bones, and
other hard items. The POWER CLEAN’'“
module removes food particles from the
water. The rrxxJule contains a chopping
device which reduces the size of food items.
NOTE: If hard items such as fruit seeds,
nuts, and egg shells enter the POWER
CLEAN module, you might hear chopping,
grinding, crunching, or buzzing sounds.
Those sounds are normal when hard items
enter the module. Do not let metallic items
(such as pot handle screws) get into the
POWER CLEAN nrKxfule. Damage can
occur.
• Foods like eggs, rice, pasta, and cooked
cereals may be hard to remove if left to dry
over a period of time. Run a RINSEA/VASH
LATER cycle to keep dishes moist if you
do not plan to wash them soon.
• Load dishes so soiled surfaces face the
rotating spray arm.
• Load dishes so they are rrat stacked or
overlapping. It 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.
