Failure to do so may result in injury. (continued) When covers are up, mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing up and some down to avoid nesting. Water spray cannot reach nested items. Features and appearance of racks and silverware basket may vary from your model. Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom rack or take the basket out for loading on a counter or table. Place small items like baby bottle caps, jar lids, corn cob holders, etc. , in a covered section. Slide the small basket back to release the tabs from the corresponding slots. Pull the baskets apart. Use suggested loading patterns, as shown, to increase washability of your silverware. Be sure nothing protrudes through bottom of basket or rack to block the spray arm. The silverware basket can be separated and placed in several locations in the bottom rack. Load silverware in all sections or just one, depending on your load. Adding a Dish To add or remove items after wash cycle starts: · Unlatch door and wait a few seconds until wash action stops before opening. · Add the item and wait a few seconds to allow cold air to slowly expand inside dishwasher. · Close door firmly to latch and resume cycle. 11 Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents Filling the Detergent Dispenser The detergent dispenser has one covered and one uncovered cup. Detergent in the uncovered cup falls into the dishwasher when the door is closed. When using automatic dishwashing detergent tabs, place one tab in main wash cup and close. Moist or caked detergent will not dissolve properly. How much Detergent to use The amount of detergent to use depends on the water hardness. Using too little detergent can result in poor cleaning and hard water filming or spotting. Using too much detergent in soft water can cause a permanent film called etching. Your local water company, water softener company or county extension agent can tell you the water hardness in your area.
