Dishwasher Use
STEP 1
Prepare and Load the Dishwasher
IMPORTANT: Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks, and
other hard items from the dishes. Remove labels from containers
before washing.

■ Check that nothing blocks the upper or lower spray arm.
Items in rack can block
the spray arms.
■ Check that when the dishwasher door is closed, no items are
blocking the detergent dispenser.
■ Tough soiled items should be loaded with soiled surfaces
facing down and inward to the spray. 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.
■ When loading silverware, always place sharp items pointing
down. Mix items in each section of the basket with some
pointing up and some down to avoid nesting. Spray cannot
reach nested items.
■ Use slots in the covers and suggested loading patterns to
keep your silverware separated for optimum wash.
STEP 2
Add Detergent
Premeasured Detergents
SLIDE
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
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 slide lid
closed.
NOTE: Follow instructions on the package when using other
dishwasher detergent types. See the complete owners manual 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.
