other hard items from the dishes. Remove labels from containers
before washing.
Upper rack
Rack may vary by model.
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. If you remove the slotted covers from the silverware
basket, 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.
