is a random mixed load, the most common 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. A spray arm in the top washes down
also. Make sure to place tall items to the outside so the
upper wash arm is not blocked.
The top rack is best for glasses, cups and saucers. Cups
and glasses
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 unit. Arrange stemware so that it 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 unit.
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 tall things next to it. Also, be
careful not to let a portion of an item such as a pot or
dish handle extend through the bottom rack. This could
block the wash arm and cause poor washing results.
