It is important for the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces. ■ Make sure that when the dishwasher door is closed no items are blocking the detergent dispenser. ■ Items should be loaded with soiled surfaces facing down and inward to the spray as shown. This will improve cleaning and drying results. ■ Avoid overlapping items like bowls or plates that may trap food. ■ Place plastics, small plates and glasses in the upper rack. Wash only plastic items marked "dishwasher safe." ■ To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation: Load dishes so they do not touch one another.
