Preparing to load the 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 TM
filter 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 filter 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 filter
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
Only 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
or interfere with the spray arm’s rotation.
• Load dishes so they do not touch one
another.
NOTE: Keep sink drain plugs inserted
during dishwasher operation to prevent
noise transfer through drains.
