General Loading Guidelines • Load all items so that the force of the water and the detergent reach soiled surfaces. • DO NOT let china, crystal, and other delicate items touch each other during dishwasher operation. • DO NOT use door to push racks in. • DO NOT put stainless steel of different qualities close to each other. Contact can damage metals. • Rinse stainless steel items if they will not be washed immediately. Prolonged contact with salty or acidic foods will cause stains. Note: DO NOT load dishes in a manner that would block the detergent dispenser lid from completely opening. The detergent dispenser lid could be damaged. Note: DO NOT put sterling silver or silver-plated flatware in the same compartment with stainless steel. Contact between the metals can damage silver. Extra Quiet Operation Hints Your dishwasher has been designed and engineered to give superior cleaning results and to operate very quietly. To avoid any extra clattering or thumping noises during operation: • Keep sink drain plugs inserted during dishwasher operation to prevent noise transfer through drains. • Load dishes so they DO NOT touch each other. • Make sure lightweight items are secured in the rack. • Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets, etc., DO NOT touch interior walls. The Silverware/Cutlery Basket Tips for best cleaning results: • Distribute items evenly and mix knives, forks, and spoons so that items will avoid nesting. • ALWAYS place forks and spoons with eating portions up and handles down. • IMPORTANT: Sharp or pointed items, such as knives, should always be put in with the point down to protect your hands. Adjusting Racks The Lower Rack The lower rack is best for dinner plates, smaller plates, serving plates, larger bowls, pots, and pans. • Securely place heavily soiled cookware face down in the rack. • Use the fold-down tines to provide space for large items such as pots and pans. fold-down tines • Make sure pot handles and other items DO NOT stop rotation of lower wash arm by hanging below the rack.
