START-UP

Before using your dishwasher, remove all packaging materials. Read this entire Consumer Reference Guide, as well as the User Instructions. You will find important safety information and useful operating tips.

Using Your Dishwasher

For all models:

1.Rinse aid is essential for good drying. Be sure to fill the dispenser before you use your new dishwasher. Each filling will last about 1 to 3 months depending on your usage.

2.Scrape large food soil and hard items (toothpicks or bones) from dishes. You do not need to prerinse your dishes.

3.Properly load the dishwasher. (See “Loading.”) Load dishes with space in between so water will reach the soiled surfaces. Make sure nothing prevents the spray arm(s) from spinning freely.

3

4.Add detergent. Always use a high-quality brand detergent. (See “Dishwasher Use” in the User Instructions.)

	PRE-

LOADING

Top Rack

The top rack is designed for cups, glasses, and smaller items. Many items, up to 9" (22 cm), fit in the top rack. (See recommended loading patterns shown.)

NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from those in the drawings shown.

■Load glasses and cups in top rack only. The bottom rack is not designed for glasses and cups. Damage can occur.

■Place cups and glasses in the rows between tines. Placing them over the tines can lead to breakage and water spots.

10 place setting

12 place setting

■Place items so open ends face down for cleaning and draining.

Cup and glass load

■China, crystal, and other delicate items must not touch each other during dishwasher operation. Damage may occur.

■Load plastic items in the top rack only. Only plastic items marked “dishwasher safe” are recommended.

■Load plastic items so the force of the spray does not move them during the cycle.

■To avoid chipping, do not let stemware touch other items.

■Small bowls, pans, and other utensils can be placed in the upper level rack. Load bowls in the center section for best stability.

4

SURE-HOLD® light item clips (on some models)

The light item clips hold lightweight plastic items such as cups, lids, or bowls in place during washing.

■Do not load glasses, cups, or plastic items in the bottom rack. Load small items in the bottom rack only if they are secured in place.

■Load plates, soup bowls, etc., between tines.

■Overlap the edges of plates for large loads.

■Load soup, cereal, and serving bowls in the rack in a variety of ways depending upon their size and shape. Load bowls securely between the rows of tines. Do not nest bowls because the spray will not reach all surfaces.

To use a clip

1.Pull clip away from tine.

2.Insert item between tine and clip and release clip.

To move a clip

1.Pull the clip up and off the tine.

2.Reposition the clip on another tine.

Small items basket (on some models)

This basket fits in the top rack. Use it to hold small items that could otherwise “fly” around inside the dishwasher during a cycle.

Utensil load

■Load cookie sheets, cake pans, and other large items at the sides and back. Loading such items in front can keep the water spray from reaching the detergent dispenser.

Bottom Rack

The bottom rack is designed for plates, pans, casseroles, and utensils. Many items, up to 13" (33 cm) tall, fit in the bottom rack. (See recommended loading patterns shown.)

NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from those in the drawings shown.

10 place setting

12 place setting

Mixed load

■Secure heavily soiled cookware face down in the rack.

■Make sure pot handles and other items do not stop rotation of the spray arm(s). The spray arm(s) must move freely.

■Do not load items between the bottom rack and the side of the dishwasher tub because they might block the water inlet opening.

FLEXI-FOLD DOWN™ flexible tines (on some models)

You can fold down one or both rows of tines at the back of the bottom rack.

1.Grasp the tip of the tine that is in the tine holder.

2.Gently pull the tine out of the tine holder.

3.Lay the row of tines down in the rack to make room for larger dishes, bowls, pots, pans or roasters.
