DISHWASHER LOADING
Loading Suggestions
■
Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard
items from the dishes. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes
before putting them into the dishwasher. The wash module
removes food particles from the water. The module contains a
chopping device which will reduce the size of food items.
NOTE:
enter the wash module, you might hear chopping, grinding,
crunching, or buzzing sounds. These sounds are normal
when hard items enter the module. Do not let metallic items
(such as pot handle screws) get into the wash module.
Damage can occur.
■
It is important for the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces.
■
Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping, if
possible. For best drying, water must be able to drain from all
surfaces.
■
Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets,
etc., do not interfere with the spray arm rotation.
■
Run a rinse cycle to keep dishes moist if you do not plan to
wash them soon. Foods such as eggs, rice, pasta, spinach,
and cooked cereals may be hard to remove if they are left to
dry over a period of time.
Quiet operating tips
To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation:
■
Make sure lightweight load items are secured in the racks.
■
Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets,
etc., do not touch interior walls or interfere with the rotation of
the spray arm.
■
Load dishes so they do not touch one another.
NOTE:
dishwasher operation to prevent noise transfer through drains.
If hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts, and egg shells
For built-in models, keep sink drain plugs closed during
9
Loading Top Rack
The top rack is designed for cups, glasses, and smaller items.
(See recommended loading patterns shown.)
The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the
NOTE:
drawings shown.
Cup and glass load
Adjustable 3-position top rack (on some models)
You can raise or lower the top rack to fit tall items in either the top
or bottom rack. Two adjusters are located on each side of the top
rack. Each adjuster has 3 preset positions. The high and low
positions are marked on the adjuster.
To adjust the top rack
Hold the top rack with one hand near the adjuster.
1.
With the other hand, pull out the top of the adjuster.
2.
Raise or lower the rack to one of the preset positions.
3.
Release the adjuster.
4.
Repeat the steps for the remaining adjusters as needed. The 4
adjusters can be raised or lowered separately or together. The
top rack does not have to be level.
Light item clips (on some models)
The light-item clips hold lightweight plastic items such as cups,
lids, or bowls in place during washing. You can move a clip
anywhere in the rack.
Mixed load
■
Place items so open ends face down for cleaning and
draining.
■
Load glasses in top rack only. The bottom rack is not
designed for glasses. Damage can occur.
■
Place cups and glasses in the rows between tines. Placing
them over the tines can lead to breakage.
■
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
top rack. Load bowls in the center section for best stability.
Extra-capacity fold-down shelves
Fold down the extra shelf on the right side of the top rack to hold
additional cups, or long items such as utensils and spatulas.
To move a clip
Pull the clip up and off the tine.
1.
Reposition the clip on another tine.
2.
Loading Bottom Rack
The bottom rack is designed for plates, pans, casseroles, and
utensils. Items with cooked-on or dried-on food should be loaded
with soiled surfaces facing inward to the spray. (See
recommended loading patterns shown.)
The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the
NOTE:
drawings shown.
Mixed load
■
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 and facing
inward to the spray.
10
■
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.
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 and
silverware basket.
■
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.
NOTE:
If you have removed the bottom rack for unloading or
cleaning, replace it with the bumpers in front.
Loading Silverware Basket
Load the silverware basket while it is in the dishwasher or take
the basket out for loading on a counter or table.
Unload or remove the basket before unloading the racks
NOTE:
to avoid spilling water droplets on the silverware.
To open the silverware basket
Unlock the latch.
Be sure the cover is completely latched before pulling out
NOTE:
the bottom rack and before closing the dishwasher door.
■
Place small items such as baby bottle caps, jar lids, corncob
holders, etc., in the section(s) with hinged cover(s). Close the
cover to hold small items in place.
Fold-down tines (on some models)
You can fold down one row of tines at the back of the bottom
rack.
Grasp the tip of the tine that is in the tine holder.
1.
Gently pull the tine out of the tine holder.
2.
Lay the row of tines down in the rack to make room for larger
3.
dishes, bowls, pots, pans or roasters.
■
Mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing up
and some down to avoid nesting. Spray cannot reach nested
items.
IMPORTANT:
Always load sharp items (knives, skewers, etc.)
pointing down.
■
The silverware basket can be hung on the door or on the
bottom rack (see illustration).
The silverware basket can also be placed inside the bottom
rack.
11
To remove the basket from the door
Grasp the silverware basket by the handle. Slide it toward the
1.
top of the door.
DISHWASHER USE
Detergent Dispenser
The detergent dispenser has 2 sections. The Pre-Wash section
empties detergent into the dishwasher when you close the door.
Lift the basket off the holding buttons.
2.
To replace the basket in the door
Set the silverware basket on the holding buttons.
1.
Slide the basket toward the bottom of the door until it locks
2.

NOTES:
■
Do not load silver or silver-plated silverware with stainless
steel. These metals can be damaged by contact with each
other during washing.
■
Some foods (such as salt, vinegar, milk products, fruit juices,
etc.) can pit or corrode silverware. Run a rinse cycle if you do
not have a full load to wash immediately.
Cutlery Basket (on some models)
Use the cutlery basket to hold long items. Always unload or
remove the cutlery basket before unloading the racks to avoid
spilling water onto the cutlery.
Remove the basket and tip the contents onto a cutting
NOTE:
board to unload. This helps avoid accidents with sharp points
and edges.
To remove the cutlery basket
Grasp the basket on both sides and slide it toward the top of
1.
the door.
1
The larger Main Wash section automatically empties detergent
into the dishwasher during the main wash. (See the “Cycle
Selection Charts.”)
■
Use automatic dishwashing detergent only. Other detergents
can produce excessive suds that can overflow out of the
dishwasher and reduce washing performance.
■
Add detergent just before starting a cycle.
■
Store tightly closed detergent in a cool, dry place. Fresh
automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning.
Do not use detergent with a rinse cycle.

12
How much detergent to use
■
The amount of detergent to use depends on the hardness of
your water and the type of detergent. If you use too little,
dishes won’t be clean. If you use too much in soft water,
glassware will etch.
■
Water hardness can change over a period of time. Find out
your water’s hardness by asking your local water department,
water softener company, or county extension agent.
■
Different brands of dishwasher detergent have different
amounts of phosphorus for softening water. If you have hard
water and use a detergent with a phosphorous content of
less than 8.7%, you might need to use more detergent, or use
a detergent with a phosphorous content higher than 8.7%.
Where to fill
Top of 3rd step (3 tbs or 45 g)
Rinse Aid Dispenser
Rinse aids prevent water from forming droplets that can dry as
spots or streaks. They also improve drying by allowing water to
drain off of the dishes during the final rinse by releasing a small
amount of the rinse aid into the rinse water. Your dishwasher is
designed to use a liquid rinse aid. Do not use a solid or bar-type.

Checking the dispenser
Check the center of the Fill Indicator cap. Clear means it needs
filling.
OR
Or you can remove the Fill Indicator cap. If an “E” is visible, the
dispenser is empty.
Filling the dispenser
The rinse aid dispenser holds 6 oz (175 mL) of rinse aid. Under
normal conditions, this will last for about three months. You do
not have to wait until the dispenser is empty to refill it. Try to keep
it full, but be careful not to overfill it.
Make sure the dishwasher door is completely open.
1.
Remove the Fill Indicator cap.
2.
Add rinse aid. Fill to the smallest opening in the lower part of
3.
the dispenser. Overfilling can cause the rinse aid to leak out,
and could cause oversudsing.

Dishwasher Efficiency Tips
Hot water dissolves and activates the dishwashing detergent.
Hot water also dissolves grease on dishes and helps glasses dry
spot-free. For best dishwashing results, water should be 120°F
(49°C) as it enters the dishwasher. Loads may not wash as well if
the water temperature is too low. Water that is too hot can make
some soils harder to remove and cause certain detergent
ingredients not to function. If your water heater is located far from
the dishwasher, it may be necessary to run the hot water at the
faucet closest to the dishwasher to minimize the amount of cold
water in the water line.
13
To check water temperature
Run hot water at the faucet closest to your dishwasher for at
1.
least 1 minute.
Place a candy or meat thermometer in a glass measuring
2.
cup.
Check the temperature on the thermometer as the water is
3.
running into the cup.
■
To save water, energy and time, do not rinse dishes before
putting them into the dishwasher.
■
Use a low energy, quick, or short cycle whenever possible.
These cycles use less hot water and energy than a normal
cycle.
■
Use a delay feature (on some models) to run your dishwasher
during off-peak hours. Local utilities recommend avoiding
heavy usage of energy at certain times of day.
■
During the summer, run your dishwasher at night. This
reduces daytime heat buildup in the kitchen.
■
Use the energy-saving dry option whenever possible. Allow
longer drying times (overnight) when using these options. Use
a rinse aid to improve drying.
■
Use cycles or options that add extra heat to the wash or rinse
portion of the cycle only when needed.
■
Run your dishwasher with full loads. Run a rinse cycle after
meals until the dishwasher is full.
■
If your home is equipped with a water softener, you may want
to avoid starting the dishwasher during the regeneration of
the softener, as this may contribute to poor wash
performance.
Cycle Selection Charts
Select the wash cycle and options desired. The dishwasher starts
filling once you press a cycle, unless you select a delay wash.
You can select an option as the machine is filling.
After a wash cycle, the dishwasher remembers the options used
and uses the same options in the next wash cycle unless new
options are selected or Cancel/Drain is selected.
A “●” shows what steps are in each cycle. Your model may have
some or all of the cycles shown.
Temperatures indicate where extra heat is added.
Water usage is shown in
Cycle time includes dry time. An asterisk ( * ) by the cycle time
indicates the cycle time might be longer depending on the
temperature of the water entering the dishwasher. The cooler the
water, the longer the cycle time. If the water is already hot
enough, the cycle time will be as shown.
