1. Prepare and Load the Dishwasher

IMPORTANT: Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard

items from dishes. Remove labels from containers before washing.

■ Make sure that, when dishwasher door is closed, no items are

blocking detergent dispenser.

■ Items should be loaded with soiled surfaces facing down and

inward to the spray as shown in the graphics above. This will

improve cleaning and drying results. Angle dirtiest dish surface

downward, allowing space for water to flow up through rack and

between dishes.

■ Avoid overlapping items like bowls or plates that may trap food.

■ Place plastics, small plates and glasses in upper rack.

■ Wash only items marked “dishwasher safe.”

■ To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation: Load dishes

so they do not touch one another. Make sure lightweight load items

are secured in racks.

■ Use slots in the covers and suggested loading patterns to keep

your silverware separated for optimum wash. See the complete

online User Guide for detailed illustrations.

■ If your silverware does not fit into the designated slots, push tabs

inward on either end of the slotted cover and lift it off of the

silverware basket. Always place sharp items pointed down and

avoid “nesting” of spoons and forks.

2. Check that Spray Arms are not Blocked.

3. Add Detergent

NOTE: If you do not plan to run a wash cycle soon, run a rinse cycle.

Do not use detergent.

■ Use automatic dishwasher detergent only. Add detergent just

before starting a cycle.

■ Fresh automatic dishwasher

detergent results in better

cleaning. Store tightly closed

detergent container in a cool, dry

place.

Detergents

Many detergents now come in several

forms (gel packs, tablets, or powder

packs).

We recommend tablets and packs for

convenience and improved

performance. Quality tablets and packs have been proven better than

powder, liquid or gel detergents at reducing filming on dishes. Using

tablets and packs over time will start to reduce or eliminate white film.

Also, by using a rinse aid, you can minimize repeat buildup of white film.

These forms are suitable for all hardness and soil levels. Always place

detergents in the main compartment and slide lid to close.

NOTE: Follow instructions on the package when using other

dishwasher detergent types. See the online user guide for more

information on powder, liquid and gel usage.
