PREPARING AND LOADING DISHES
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 edge so they do not block 
the spray arm rotation. For best results, place 
bowls, casseroles, and sauce pans with soiled 
surface facing down or toward the center. Tilt 
slightly for better drainage.
Spin the middle spray arm to make sure that 
tall items do not block the rotation.
Be sure pan handles do not protrude through 
the bottom of the rack and block the lower 
spray arm rotation.

pointing down.
Failure to do so may result in injury. 
Features and appearance of racks and 
silverware basket may vary from your 
model.
Load the silverware basket while it is in the 
bottom rack or take the basket out for loading 
on a counter or table.
Use suggested loading patterns, as shown, to 
increase washability of the silverware. 
Be sure nothing protrudes through bottom of 
basket or rack to block the spray arm.
Do not mix silver and stainless to avoid 
damaging the silver nish.
Mix items in each section of the basket with 
some pointing up and some down to avoid 
nesting. Water spray cannot reach nested 
items.

starts:
•  Unlatch door and wait a few seconds 
until wash action stops before opening.
•  Add the item and wait a few seconds to 
allow cold air to slowly expand inside 
dishwasher.
•  Close the door rmly to latch and press 
the START/CANCEL pad to resume.
