Dishwasher Use
STEP 1
Prepare and Load the Dishwasher
IMPORTANT: Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks, and
other hard items from the dishes. Remove labels from containers
before washing.
Upper Rack
Lower Rack
■
Make sure nothing keeps spray arm(s) from
spinning freely. It is important for the water
spray to reach all soiled surfaces.
■
Make sure that when the dishwasher door
is closed and no items are blocking the
detergent dispenser.
■
Items should be loaded with soiled surfaces
facing down and inward to the spray as shown in the graphics
above. This will improve cleaning and drying results.
■
Avoid overlapping items, like bowls or plates, that may
trap food.
■
Place plastics, small plates, and glasses in the upper rack.
■
Wash only items marked “dishwasher safe.”
■
To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation:
Load dishes so they do not touch one another. Make
sure lightweight load items are secured in the racks.
■
When loading silverware, always place sharp
items pointing down and avoid “nesting” as
shown. If your silverware does not fit into the
designated slots, flip the covers up and mix
silverware types to keep them separated.
■
Use suggested loading patterns, as
shown, to better clean your silverware.
Use the slots in the covers to keep your
silverware separated for optimum wash.
STEP 2
Add Detergent
NOTE: If you do not plan to run a wash cycle soon, run a rinse
cycle. Do not use detergent.
■
Use automatic dishwasher detergent only. Add powder,
liquid, or tablet detergent just before starting a cycle.
■
Fresh automatic
dishwasher detergent
results in better cleaning.
Store tightly closed
detergent container
in a cool, dry place.
■
For optimum performance,
tablet detergent is
recommended.
■
The amount of detergent
to use depends on:
How much soil remains
on the items – Heavily soiled
loads require more detergent.
The hardness of the water – If you use too little detergent in
hard water, dishes won’t be clean. If you use too much in soft
water, glassware will etch.
Soft to Medium Water (0–6 grains per U.S. gallon)
[typical water softener water and some city water]
Medium to Hard Water (7–12 grains per U.S. gallon)
[well water and some city water]
■
Depending on your water hardness, fill the Main Wash section
of the dispenser as shown. Fill the Pre-Wash section to the
level shown for heavily soiled items.
NOTE: Fill amounts shown are for standard powdered detergent.
Follow instructions on the package when using other dishwasher
detergent.

Add Rinse Aid
■
Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid for good drying
performance. Without rinse aid, your dishes and dishwasher
interior will have excessive moisture. The Heat Dry option will
not perform as well without rinse aid.
■
Rinse aid keeps water from forming droplets
that can dry as spots or streaks. They also
improve drying by allowing water to drain
off of the dishes after the final rinse.
■
Check the rinse aid indicator. Add rinse aid
when indicator drops to “Add” level.
■
To add rinse aid, turn the dispenser cap
1/4 turn counterclockwise and lift off.
Pour rinse aid into the opening until the
indicator level is at “Full.” Replace the
dispenser cap and turn to “Lock.”
Make sure cap is fully locked.
