Dishware Materials
NOTE: Before using your dishwasher for the rst time, check the information in this section. Some
items are not dishwasher safe and should be hand-washed; others require special loading. Contact
the item’s manufacturer if you are unsure about the item’s dishwasher suitability.
Recommended
Aluminum: Colored anodized aluminum may fade over time. Minerals in your water may cause
the aluminum to darken or spot. This can usually be removed by using a soap-lled steel wool
pad.
China, Crystal, Stoneware: Some
hand-painted pieces may discolor, fade, or spot. Hand-wash these pieces. Position fragile
glassware so that it will not topple over or
contact other pieces during the wash cycle.
Glass: Milk glass may yellow.
Non-Stick Coatings: Apply a light coating of vegetable oil to non-stick surfaces after drying.
Plastics: Make sure the piece is dishwasher safe.
Stainless Steel, Sterling Silver, and Silver Plate: Place these pieces so that they do not contact
dissimilar metals.
Not Recommended
Acrylic: Crazing (small cracks throughout the acrylic) may occur.
Adhesive-Joined Pieces: Adhesives that join materials such as plastic, wood, bone, steel copper,
tin, etc. may loosen.
Bone-Handled Utensils: Handles may separate.
Iron: Iron will rust. Hand-wash and dry immediately.
Non-Dishware Items: Your dishwasher is intended for use in cleaning ONLY standard household
dishware and kitchenware.
Pewter, Brass, Bronze: Pewter will tarnish. Hand-wash and dry immediately.
Tin: Tin will rust. Hand-wash and dry immediately.
Wood: Wooden bowls, wooden utensils, and wood-handled utensils can crack, warp, and lose
their nish.

Preparing and Loading the Dishware
Dishware Preparation
Do not pre-wash items having loosely-attached soiling. Remove large food particles, bones, seeds,
toothpicks, and excessive grease. Items having burned-on, baked-on or starchy soils may require
pre-treatment.
Loading the Dishwasher
Check the Materials section of this manual if you are unsure about an item’s dishwasher suitability.
Load only dishwasher-safe items into the dishwasher. Load dishes in the dishwasher racks so that
the insides of bowls, pots, and pans are facing the spray arms. Avoid nesting and contact points
between dishes. Separate items of dissimilar metals.
Loading the Top Rack
Figures 1 and 2 show typical 10 and 12 place load patterns for the top rack.
NOTE: Make sure items do not protrude through the bottom of the racks and block the spray arms.
ATTENTION
To avoid dishwasher damage, do not load the dishwasher with objects such as paper products, plastic bags, packing materials, or anything other than normal dishware and kitchenware. Do not load the dishwasher with anything other than dishwasher-safe dishware and
kitchenware.

Top Rack Accessories
Top Rack Flip Tines
Flip Tines fold down to make loading the racks easier in some instances. Grasp the tines,
release from notch, and fold the tines downward. When the top rack is loaded, push it into the
dishwasher.
NOTE: When pushing the top rack into the dishwasher, push it until it stops against the back of
the tub so the top rack spray arm will connect to the water supply. Do not push the top rack with
the door.
Top Rack Height Adjustment
The top rack can be lowered to accommodate large items in the top rack, and raised to make
room for large items in the bottom rack.
To raise the top rack:
1. Pull the top rack out of the dishwasher until it stops rolling.
Figure 7
12 place setting bottom rack
Figure 8
2. Grasp the top of the rack above the Automatic Height-Adjustable Top Rack handles and pull
it upward as shown in Figure 4 until the Automatic Height-Adjustable Top Rack handles lock
the rack into position (you do not need to press the Automatic Height-Adjustable Top Rack
handles in order raise the rack).
NOTE: Before you push the top rack back into the dishwasher, ensure that the rack height is the
same on both sides. Otherwise, the dishwasher door will not shut and the top rack spray arm will
not connect to the water circuit.
To lower the top rack:
1. Pull the top rack out of the dishwasher until it stops rolling.
2. Press the Automatic Height- Adjustable Top Rack handles inward as shown in
Figure 5 and let the rack drop.
Loading the Bottom Rack
Place large items in the bottom rack. Load pots, pans and bowls upside-down. Figures 6 and 7
show typical mixed loads for the bottom rack.
Loading Extra Tall Items
If an item is too tall to be placed into the bottom rack even with the top rack in the raised
position, remove the empty top rack by pulling it out of the dishwasher until it stops rolling. Pull
the front of the rack upward and outward until the rollers are completely free of the roller guides.
Set the top rack aside. Push the roller guides back into the dishwasher. Insert the Extra Tall Item
Sprinkler into the top rack spray outlet and turn the sprinkler clockwise to lock it into position as
shown in Figure 8. Place your extra tall item(s) in the bottom rack as shown in Figure 9.
NOTE: Keep the vent on the tub’s right side clear by placing tall items such as plastic cutting
boards and tall baking sheets on the bottom rack’s left side, center, or back.
Figure 9
Do not block vent.
ATTENTION
To avoid dishwasher damage, do not reinstall the top rack without removing the extra tall
item sprinkler. Do not reinstall the top rack with the sprinkler installed.
To remove the sprinkler and return the dishwasher to its normal condition:
1. Turn the sprinkler counterclockwise and remove it.
2. Retrieve the top rack.
3. Tilt the top rack upwards and position the top rack rollers onto the roller guides.
4. Continue pushing the top rack until the rollers are on the guide.
5. Push the top rack into the dishwasher.
Loading the Silverware Basket
NOTE: The silverware basket tops can be folded up to accommodate large or oddly-shaped items.
