HOW TO LOAD YOUR DISHWASHER

This is a random mixed load, the most common type

 will have.

Make sure dishes are properly loaded to insure that
water can reach the soiled surfaces. The wash arm
in the bottom sprays water up. The tower that rises
in the center sends water out over the dishes to wash
the items in the upper rack.

WATCH OUT FOR THIS.

The wash tower rises through the center of the bottom
rack during the wash and rinse portions of the cycle.
Don’t block it or load tall things next to it. Also, be
careful not to let a portion of an item such as a pot or
dish handle extend through the bottom rack. This 
block the wash arm and cause poor washing results.

HOW TO LOAD THE TOP RACK

The top rack is best for glasses, cups and saucers. Cups
and glasses fit best along the sides. This is the place for
dishwasher-safe plastics, too. Make sure small plastic
items are lodged in tightly so they can’t fall onto the
heating element. Arrange stemware so that they cannot
move easily. Don’t let the glasses touch each other.

This rack is ideal for dishwasher-safe plastics. When
loading, place plastic items along the back and be
sure that each plastic tumbler is secured over two
fingers. This will prevent dislodging; tumbler will
not fall through rack onto heating element.
