Loading Tips

• Scrape off bones or large food particles. Remove excessive
quantities of greasy/oily substances.
• Scrape or soak items with burnt on foods as they require
more energy than the rest of the load to clean.
• If connected to a food waste disposer, make certain the
disposer is empty before starting the dishwasher. This
allows proper draining.
• Mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon and other acidic
foods can cause rust or discoloration on stainless steel.
Rinse these pieces as soon as possible.
• Starch from foods like potatoes, pasta, rice and oatmeal
require more energy to clean than the rest of the load.
• Place all items in the racks so they are separated and fac-
ing the center of the racks.
• Wedge flat, lightweight items next to the silverware bas-
ket or along the sides and back of the racks.
• Load items so they do not rest over the wash tower.
• Avoid blocking the upper and lower spray arms by not
allowing items to extend beyond the racks.
• Place glasses in any row of the upper rack for proper
cleaning and rinsing. Do not load glasses over the tines.
