Loading Your Dishwasher

This section tells how to properly load your dishwasher for best washing and rinsing results.

Preparing to load your dishwasher

To save water and energy, do not rinse
dishes before putting them into the
dishwasher.

Remove large pieces of food, bones, and
other hard items. The POWER CLEAN*
module removes food particles from the
water. The module contains a chopping
device which reduces the size of food items.

NOTE:

If hard items such as fruit seeds,

nuts, and egg shells enter the POWER
CLEAN module, you might hear chopping,
grinding, crunching, or buzzing sounds.
Those sounds are normal when hard items
enter the module. Do not let metallic items
(such as pot handle screws) get into the
POWER CLEAN module. Damage
can occur.

Foods like eggs, rice, pasta, and cooked
cereals may be hard to remove if left to dry
over a period of time. Run a Rinse/Wash
Later cycle to keep dishes moist if you do
not plan to wash them soon.

Loading the cutlery basket

(on some models)

Use the cutlery basket to hold long items.
Always unload or remove the cutlery basket
before unloading the racks to avoid spilling
water on the cutlery.

IMPORTANT:

Remove the basket and tip

the contents onto a cutting board to unload.
This helps avoid accidents with sharp points
and edges.

To remove the cutlery basket:

1.

Grasp the basket on both sides and slide

it toward the top of the door.

2.

Lift the basket off the holding buttons.

To replace the cutlery basket:

1.

Set the basket on the holding buttons.

2.

Slide the basket toward the bottom of the

door until it locks into place.

Load dishes so soiled surfaces face the
rotating spray arm.

Load dishes so they are not stacked or
overlapping. It is important for the water
spray to reach all soiled surfaces for best
washing. For best drying, water must be
able to drain from all surfaces.

Loading for quiet operation

Secure lightweight load items in the racks.

Pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie
sheets, etc., should not touch interior
walls, interfere with the spray arm’s
rotation, or cover the spray tower.

Load dishes so they do not touch one
another.

NOTE:

Keep sink drain plugs inserted

during dishwasher operation to prevent
noise transfer through drains.
