 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.
NOTE: If hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts, and eggshells 
enter the wash system, you might hear chopping, grinding, 
crunching, or buzzing sounds. These sounds are normal. Do 
not let metallic items (such as pot handle screws) get into the 
wash system. Damage can occur.
Load dishes so soiled surfaces face the spray (down or 
inward). 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: For built-in models, keep sink drain plugs closed during 
dishwasher operation to prevent noise transfer through drains.
Loading Top Rack
The top rack is designed for cups, glasses, and smaller items. 
(See recommended loading patterns shown.)
NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the 
drawings shown. 
Place items so open ends face down for cleaning and 
draining.
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.
To avoid chipping, do not let stemware touch other items.
China, crystal, and other delicate items must not touch each 
other during dishwasher operation. Damage can occur.
Wedge lightweight items against one another or overlap them 
with heavier dishes.
Load plastic items securely in the top rack only. Wash only 
plastic items marked “dishwasher safe.”
Small bowls, pans, and other utensils can be placed in the 
top rack. Load bowls in the center section for best stability.
