Washing the Dishes

2. Load lower rack
To ensure best cleaning:
• Place all items in the racks so they are separated and facing the center
of the racks.
• Wedge flat, lightweight items next to the silverware basket or along the
sides and back of the racks.
• Load items so they do not rest over the wash tower located in the center
of the lower rack.
• Avoid blocking the upper and lower spray arms by not allowing items to
extend beyond the racks.
• Large items may be placed in any convenient location in this rack.
• Keep soiled surfaces facing the center of the rack.
• The back of this rack accommodates a row of dinner plates or two rows
of smaller plates. Serving bowls and large pans fit across the front of the
rack or on the left side.
• Folding tines (some models) located on the right side, provide loading
flexibility for large-shaped items.
1. Prepare dishes for washing
• 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.
• Scrape off tomato based food soils.
• 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.

3. Load upper rack

• This rack is designed to hold glasses, cups, small plates,
bowls, cookware, etc.
• Small plates or bowls should be loaded with soiled
surfaces facing the center of the rack.
• The twin shelf (select models) on the right side of the
upper rack folds up or down. Fold it down to hold long-
handled knives, spatulas and spoons or short items like
cups or juice glasses. Fold it up for taller items like
bowls, plates, etc.
• Place glasses in any row of the upper rack for proper
cleaning and rinsing. Do not load glasses over tines.
• Upper rack can be removed when tall or oversized items
need to be loaded into the lower rack.
