OPERATING YOUR DISHWASHER
1. Prepare and load the dishwasher
10-place load – upper rack 10-place load – lower rack
12-place load – upper rack 12-place load – lower rack
IMPORTANT: Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks, and other hard
items from dishes. Remove labels from containers before washing.
■ Make sure when the 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.
■ When loading silverware, always place sharp items pointing down
and avoid “nesting” as shown. If your silverware does not fit into
the designated slots, lift and slide covers off to remove them and
mix silverware types to keep them separated.
■ Use the slots in the covers and suggested loading patterns
to keep your silverware separated for optimum wash. See the
complete online User Instructions for detailed illustrations.
2. Check that all arms spin freely
Items in the rack can block
the spray arms.
3. Add detergent
Premeasured Detergents
High-quality premeasured tablets
and packs are recommended for
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.
They are suitable for all water hardness
and soil levels. Also, by using a rinse aid,
you can minimize repeat buildup of white
film (not all packs and tablets contain
rinse aid). Always place premeasured
detergents in main compartment and
close lid.
NOTE: Follow instructions on the package when using other
dishwasher detergent types. See the complete User Instructions
for more details about powders, liquids, and gels.
■ 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.

4. 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. The heating and drying
options will not perform as well without rinse aid.
■ Rinse aid keeps water from forming droplets that can dry as spots
or streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to drain off
of dishes after final rinse. Rinse aid does not adhere to dishware,
and when used, it is dispensed during each cycle.
