Loading Your Dishwasher

• To save

water

and energy, do not rinse

dishes before putting them into the

dishwasher.

• Remove large pieces of food, bones, and

other hard items. The POWER CLEAN™

filter module removes food particles from

the water. The module contains a chopping

device which reduces the size of food

items.

NOTE:

If hard items such as fruit seeds,

nuts, and egg shells enter the

POWER CLEAN filter module, you might

hear chopping, grinding, crunching, or

buzzing sounds. Those sounds are normal

when hard items enter the module.

Do not

let metallic items (such as pot handle

screws) get into the POWER CLEAN filter

module. Damage can occur.

• Foods like eggs, rice, pasta, and cooked

cereals may be hard to remove if left to

dry over a period of time. Run a Rinse

Only cycle to keep dishes moist if you do

not plan to wash them soon.

• Load dishes so soiled surfaces face the

rotating spray arm.

• Load dishes so they are not stacked or

overlapping. It is important for the water

spray to reach all soiled surfaces for best

washing. For best drying, water must be

able to drain from all surfaces.

Loading for quiet operation

• Secure lightweight ioad items in the racks.

• Pot iids and handles, pizza pans, cookie

sheets, etc. should not touch interior walls

or interfere with the spray arm’s rotation.

• Load dishes so they do not touch one

another.

NOTE:

Keep sink drain plugs inserted

during dishwasher operation to prevent

noise transfer through drains.

Use the cutiery basket to hold long items.

Always unload or remove the cutlery basket

before unloading the racks to avoid spilling

water on the cutlery.

the contents onto a cutting board to unload.

This helps avoid accidents with sharp points

and edges.
