KitchenAid BRIVA Manual Do Utilizador

When you need more sink area, remove the rack and spray arm 
completely.

1. Turn the drain stopper assembly left ¼ turn and lift to allow 

water to drain.

1. Insert drain stopper assembly so it aligns and drops down to 

seal against the drain.

2. Turn right ¼ turn to lock it into place.

NOTE: Do not completely fill the dishwasher when using it as a 
sink. Make sure the sink is completely drained before using it 
again as a dishwasher.

■

Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard 
items from the dishes. To conserve water and energy and 
save time it is not necessary to rinse dishes before putting 
them into the dishwasher. 

■

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.

■

Load heavy pots and pans gently. Heavy items can dent the 
stainless steel interior if they are dropped or bumped.

■

Make sure pot lids and handles, etc., do not interfere with the 
spray arm rotation.

■

Conserve water and energy and save time over hand rinsing 
by running 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.

To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation:

■

Make sure lightweight load items are secured in the rack.

■

Make sure pot lids and handles, etc., do not touch interior 
walls or interfere with the rotation of the spray arm.

■

Load dishes so they do not touch one another.

The rack is designed for cups, glasses, plates, pans, casseroles. 
and utensils. Many items, up to 11" (27.94 cm), fit in the rack. 
(See recommended loading patterns shown.)

■

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

■

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

■

Load small items in the rack only if they are secured in place.

■

Load plastic items so the force of the spray does not move 
them during the cycle. Only plastic items marked 
“dishwasher safe” are recommended.

■

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

■

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

■

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.

■

Load cake pans and other large items at the sides and front. 
Loading such items in back can keep the water spray from 
reaching the Rinse Aid dispenser.

■

Secure heavily soiled cookware face down in the rack.

■

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

■

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