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.
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.
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.
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.
