LOADING THE LOWER BASKET Load larger items in the lower basket, such as, dinner plates, pots and pans, serving dishes, and casseroles. The removable plate rack easily lifts out to provide space for large items, such as pots and pans. Be sure to load dishware facing downward or toward the center of the dishwasher. Lower Basket Removable Plate Rack (not on all models) LOADING THE SILVERWARE BASKET The silverware basket is designed with 17 compartments to help keep the silverware separated. Load silverware with the handles downwards and spread it out as much as possible to avoid nesting. For safety, load knives with the handles up. Avoid placing silverware made of different materials (e.g., silver and stainless) in the same compartment because of the risk of discoloration. (See page 10.) Small Items Containment Lid The silverware basket has a lid in the middle that snaps down over the compartments to its left or right to contain small, lightweight items that might slip through the rack tines or get washed out of the basket and fall through onto the heating element. The small items lid is slotted, so you also could use it to keep silverware separated, such as teaspoons.

Because the machine uses less water than conventional dishwashers, you also use less detergent and rinse aid. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load. The amount of detergent needed for your dishes, however, could be more, depending on the hardness of the water in your area. Also, more heavily soiled items need more detergent. (See page 5.) Measure and place detergent for the main wash into the large detergent compartment. The detergent for prewash goes into the small compartment to the right of the main wash compartment. You should use one-half the amount of detergent for the prewash that you use for the main wash. The amount of detergent used for the main wash and prewash combined should never be over three tablespoons. Always add the detergent just before starting the dishwasher, otherwise it could get damp and won't dissolve properly. Type of Detergent to Use We recommend that you use only unscented, granular automatic dishwashing detergent. Using the wrong detergent could cause flooding and/or damage your dishwasher. Do not use detergent that has been wet and is clumped. Also, check the expiration date on the container.
