HOW TO LOAD YOUR DISHWASHER
This is mixed loud, the most common type
you will have.
Make sure dishes are properly to insure that
water 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.
WATCH OUT FOR THIS.
The wash tower rises through the center of the bottom
rack during the wash and rinse portions
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.
HOW TO LOAD THE TOP RACK
Sauce pans, mixing bowls and other small items may
be placed—face down—in the top rack. The top rack
is handy for all kinds of odd shapes. Be sure the force
of the water and detergent can reach soiled surfaces.

The rack is best for CUDS and saucers.
Cups glasses fit This is the
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.
