manual abstract
Old detergent often won’t dissolve. If you use a liquid dishwasher detergent, these precautions are not necessary because liquid detergents don’t ‘‘lump’’ as they age or come in contact with moisture.

A water softener is recommended. Without it, lime can build up in the water valve. The water valve may stick and flooding could occur. NOTE: The above chart is a general guide. Detergent amounts should be adjusted depending on the amount and type of soil until satisfactory results are achieved. How to Prepare the Dishes for Washing Detergent Usage Guide (powder or liquid) Detergent Dispenser To open your detergent dispenser cover, press the retainer button. The cover will flip back. Once the cover is open, fill the detergent main cup compartment with detergent, as suggested in the guide below. Close the cover until it clicks shut. Some cycles will also require the open cup to be filled. See the guide below for the suggested amount of detergent to use. The detergent will be dispensed automatically during the wash portion of the cycle. If you have a problem closing the cover of the detergent dispenser, it is likely due to excess detergent in the area where the cover seals. Brush the detergent away from the seal area and relatch. If the cover still will not close it may be because the machine was stopped in the wash portion of the cycle. Rinse Detergents If this is your first dishwasher, or if you’re replacing a much older model, you may wonder how much preparation your dishes need. Actually very little. Scrape off bones, seeds, skins, toothpicks and other hard solids. Remove excessive quantities of oil and grease. NOTE: You may also want to consider removing foods such as mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice and other foods that can cause discoloration of stainless steel if allowed to remain on dishes for a long period of time. The POTS & PANS cycle can wash heavily soiled dishes and remove dried-on and baked-on soils from pots, pans and casseroles. Items with burned-on soils need extra preparation. 7 Dish HOW TO LOAD YOUR DISHWASHER Your dishwasher should be loaded so that water can circulate freely and reach every part of every item that is to be cleaned. When unloading the dishwasher always unload the bottom rack first and then unload the upper rack. This sequence of unloading will minimize the chance of water drops from the upper rack falling on the dishes in the bottom rack. The silverware basket of the dishwasher has a handle to allow easy removal of the basket to your silverware drawer for unloading. How to Load the Upper Rack • The upper rack is best for glasses, cups and saucers. Two rows of cups can be washed when using the folding shelf. Load the bottom row first, then fold down the shelf and load the top row. Cups and glasses fit best along the sides. This is the place for dishwasher-safe plastics, too. Make sure small plastic items are lodged in tightly so they can’t fall onto the heating element. Arrange stemware so that it cannot move easily. Don’t let the glasses touch each other. • Saucepans, mixing bowls and other small items may be placed—face down—in this upper rack. The upper rack is handy for all kinds of odd shapes. Upper Rack Height Adjustment The upper rack has two adjustable positions. The upper rack may be placed in the upper position to provide more room for large items like platters to be placed in the bottom rack—or—the upper rack may be placed in the lower position to provide additional room for items such as tall glasses to be placed in the upper rack. To reposition the upper rack: 1. Empty upper rack and pull it partially out to allow access to the latches at the front of the roller channels. 2. Release the latches on both channels, left and right, by flipping them towards the outside of the dishwasher. 3. Pull the upper rack forward until rollers are completely free of the channels. 4. Push channels back into dishwasher until they stop. 5. Reinsert upper rack. 6. With rollers within channels, close latches by flipping them closer toward the center of the dishwasher. Latch Channel How to Load the Bottom Rack • Fit plates and saucers between the pins. Load platters, pots and bowls along the sides, in corners or in the back. • Heavily soiled pots, pans and casseroles MUST be loaded in the bottom rack, facing down. Prop broiler pans and racks along the edge. Shallow items may be angled provided the lower side does not shield the soiled surface inside from the water. • Put flatware in the removable basket with fork and knife handles up to protect your hands. Place spoons in the basket with handles...
