Loading the Dishwasher

Note: Before using your dishwasher for the first time, 
check the information in this section. Some items are 
not dishwasher-safe and should be hand washed; others 
require special loading.

▯

Glass type and glass production process.

▯

Chemical composition of the detergent.

▯

Water temperature of the wash cycle.

▯

Use only glasses and porcelain which 
the manufacturer designates as dishwasher-safe.

▯

Use a detergent which protects silverware.

▯

Take glass and silverware out of the dishwasher as 
soon as possible after the wash cycle ends.

For best dishwashing results, observe the following 
when loading the dishwasher:

▯

Do not pre-wash items with loosely attached food 
soil. 

▯

Remove all food particles, bones, toothpicks and 
excessive grease. 

▯

Items having burned-on, baked-on or starchy soils 
may require some pre-treatment. 

▯

Load dishes in the dishwasher racks so the insides 
of bowls, pots and pans are facing the spray arms. 

▯

Avoid nesting and contact points between dishes. 

▯

Separate items of dissimilar metals. Use care to not 
block movement of the spray arms.

▯

Only wash household dishware and kitchenware 
rated as dishwasher-safe. 

Refer to the Dishware Materials section for more 
information about dishware suitability.

NOTICE: To avoid dishwasher damage, do not load the 
dishwasher with paper products, plastic bags, packing 
materials or anything other than normal, dishwasher 
safe dishware and kitchenware.

Ensure items do not protrude through the bottom of the 
racks and block the spray arms.

Note: When pushing the upper rack 12 into the 
dishwasher, push it until it stops against the back of the 
tub so the upper rack spray arm 1: connects to the 
water supply at the back of the tub. Do not push racks in 
using the door.
