How to load your dishwasher
How to load the
is a random retied load, the most common type you
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 upper rack. A spray arm in the top washes down also.
Make sure to place tall items to the outside so the upper
wash arm is not blocked.
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 could
block the wash arm and cause poor washing results.
The top rack is best for glasses, cups and saucers. Cups
and glasses
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 unit. Arrange stemware so that it cannot
move easily. Don’t let the glasses touch each other.
Sauce pans, mixing bowls and other small items may be
placed—face down—in the top rack. The top rack is
handy for all kinds of odd shapes. Be sure the force of
water and detergent can reach soiled surfaces.
