en-us Loading the Dishwasher Glass and silverware damage Causes: ■ Glass type. ■ Type of dishwasher detergent. ■ Water temperature of the wash cycle. Recommendation: ■ Use only glasses and porcelain which the manufacturer designates as dishwasher-safe. ■ Use a detergent which protects silverware. ■ Use less intensive wash cycles and take glass and silverware out of the dishwasher as soon as possible after the wash cycle ends. Loading the racks For best dishwashing results, observe the following when loading the dishwasher: ■ Do not pre-wash items with loosely attached food soil. ■ Remove all food particles, bones, toothpicks and excessive grease. ■ Pre-treat items having burned-on, baked-on or starchy soils. ■ Load dishes in the dishwasher racks so the insides of bowls, pots and pans are facing the spray arms. ■ Avoid nesting and contact points between dishes. ■ Separate items of dissimilar metals. Use care to not block movement of the spray arms. ■ Only wash household dishware and kitchenware rated as dishwasher-safe. Refer to the Dishware Materials section for more information about dishware suitability. NOTICE To avoid dishwasher damage, do not load the dishwasher with paper products, plastic bags, packing materials or anything other than normal, dishwasher safe dishware and kitchenware. Loading the upper rack Ensure items do not protrude through the bottom of the racks and block the spray arms. Note: When pushing the upper rack 12 into the dishwasher, push it until it stops against the back of the tub so the upper rack spray arm 1: connects to the water supply at the back of the tub. Do not push racks in using the door. Loading the lower rack Place large items in the lower rack 9". Load pots, pans and bowls upside down. Do not block the vent hole 1J with tall baking sheets. Load these items on the right side of the dishwasher. 18
