7 PREPARING AND LOADING DISHES Dish Preparation Scrape away large pieces of food, bones, pits, toothpicks, etc. The continuously filtered wash fluid will remove remaining food particles. Burned-on foods should be loosened before loading. Empty liquids from glasses and cups.
8 Some models have a fold-down cup shelf or a cup shelf/ stemware holder. They can be used to load two levels of cups, juice glasses, and other short items. Stagger items on upper level so that water can reach all inside surfaces. Fold cupshelves up and out of the way unless needed.
9 PREPARING AND LOADING DISHES Loading the Bottom Rack Features and appearance of racks and silverware basket may vary from your model. The lower rack is best for plates, saucers, bowls, and cookware. Large items should be placed along the outer edge so they do not block the spray arm rotation.
10 Fold-down Tines (available select models) The fold-down tines in the lower rack make easy loading for those extra large and hard-to-fit items. The tines may be left up for normal use or folded down for more flexible loading. Fold down for more space to load large pots or pans.
11 Filling the Detergent Dispenser The detergent dispenser has one covered and one uncovered cup. Detergent in the uncovered cup falls into the dishwasher when the door is closed. The covered cup opens automatically to release detergent. • Use only fresh automatic dishwashing detergent.
12 FACTORS AFFECTING PERFORMANCE Rinse Aid Rinse aid greatly improves drying, reduces water spots and filming, and lubricates wash arm bearings for proper rotations. With it, water "sheets" off dishes rather than forming water droplets that cling and leave spots.
13 Overfill Protector — keeps dishwasher from overfilling and is located in the left front corner of the tub. • Clean occasionally with household cleaner containing vinegar or bleach to dissolve any buildup. • Overfill Protector should move up and down freely about one inch.
14 • Make sure rinse aid dispenser is filled. • Check to see that proper amount of detergent is being used for cycle selected. (See Detergent Usage Guide. ) • Home water pressure may be too low—it should be 20 to 120 pounds per square inch (psi).
15 SOLUTIONS TO COMMON DISHWASHING PROBLEMS Normal Sounds You Will Hear • Normal sounds include water fill, water circulation and motor sounds. • There is a noticeable change in sound when the wash action switches between the lower and middle spray arm.
