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 nothing keeps spray arm(s)
from spinning freely. It is important for the
water spray to reach all soiled surfaces.
• Make sure that when the dishwasher drawer 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 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.
When loading silverware, always place
sharp items pointing down. Mix other items
with some pointing up and some pointing
down.
• The amount of detergent to use depends on:
How much soil remains on the items--Heavily soiled loads
require more detergent.
The hardness of the water--If you use too little in hard water,
dishes won't be clean. If you use too much in soft water,
glassware will etch.
Soft to Medium Water (0-6 grains per U.S. gallon)
[typical water softener water and some city water]
Medium to Hard Water (7-12 grains per U.S. gallon)
[well water and some city water]
• Depending on your water hardness, fill the Main Wash section
of the dispenser as shown. Fill the Pre-Wash section to the
level shown, if needed.
NOTE: Fill amounts shown are for
standard powdered detergent.
Follow instructions on the
package when using other
dishwasher detergent.

Add Rinse Aid
Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid for good drying
performance. Without rinse aid, your dishes and dishwasher
interior will have excessive moisture.
Rinse aid keeps water from forming droplets that can dry as
spots or streaks. They also improve drying by allowing water to
drain off of the dishes after the final rinse.
• Rinse aid helps to reduce excess moisture on the dish racks
and interior of your dishwasher.
• When the dispenser is low and needs to be I Rinse AidLow
refilled, an indicator light on the control panel
will illuminate.
To add rinse aid, turn
the dispenser cap a
1/4turn
counterclockwise and
remove. Pour rinse aid
into the opening until
the liquid reaches the
FULL level marking.
Replace the dispenser
cap and turn clockwise
until the cap is secure.
