Make sure dishes are properly loaded to insure that
water can reach the soiled surfaces. The wash arm in
the bottom sprays water up. The tower that rises in the
center sends water out over the dishes to wash the items
in the upper rack. A spray arm in the top washes down
also. Make sure to place tall items to the outside so the
upper wash arm is not blocked.
Sauce pans, mixing bowls and other small items may
be placed--face down--in the top rack. The top rack is
handy for all kinds of odd shapes. Be sure the force of
water and detergent can reach soiled surfaces.
WATCH OUT FOR THIS.
The wash tower rises through the center of the bottom
rack during the wash and rinse portions of the cycle.
Don't block it or load tall things next to it. Also, be
careful not to let a portion of an item such as a pot or
dish handle extend through the bottom rack. This could
block the wash arm and cause poor washing results.
