Quick Steps
Dishwasher Use
Prepare and Load the Dishwasher
IMPORTANT: Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other
hard items from the dishes. Remove labels from containers before
washing.
■
Make sure that when the dishwasher door is closed no items
are blocking the detergent dispenser.
■
Items should be loaded with soiled surfaces facing down and
inward to the spray as shown. This will improve cleaning and
drying results.
■
Avoid overlapping items like bowls or plates that may trap food.
■
Place plastics, small plates and glasses in the upper rack.
Wash only plastic 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 the racks.
■
Improper loading can cause dishes to be chipped or damaged.
When loading glasses or mugs, it is best to load these items in
between rows of tines instead of loading them over tines, as
shown in the image above.
