HOW TO LOAD YOUR DISHWASHER
This is a random mixed load, the most type
you will have.
Make sure dishes are properly loaded to insure that
water can reach the soiled surfaces. The wash arm
in the bottom sprays water up. The tower that rises
in the center sends water out over the dishes to wash
the items in the upper rack.
WATCH OUT FOR THIS.
The wash tower rises through the center of the bottom
rack during the wash and rinse portions of the cycle.
Don’t block it or load things next to it. Also, be
careful not to let a portion of an item such as a pot or
dish
extend through the bottom rack. This could
block the wash arm and cause poor washing results.
HOW TO LOAD THE TOP RACK
The top rack is best for glasses, cups and saucers.
Cups and glasses fit best along the sides. This is the
place for dishwasher-safe plastics, too. Make sure
small plastic items are lodged in tightly so they
can’t fall onto the
heating element. Arrange
stemware so that they cannot move easily. Don’t let
the glasses touch each other.
This rack is ideal for dishwasher-safe plastics. When
loading, place plastic items along the back and be
sure that each plastic tumbler is secured over two
fingers. This will prevent dislodging; tumbler will
not fall through rack onto
heating element.
