Extra Quiet Operation Hints
Your dishwasher has been designed and engineered
to give superior cleaning results and to operate very
quietly. To avoid any extra clattering or thumping
noises during operation:
• Keep sink drain plugs inserted during dishwasher
operation to prevent noise transfer through drains.
•Load dishes so they do not touch each other.
•Make sure lightweight items are secured in
the rack.
• Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie
sheets, etc., DO NOT touch interior walls.
The Silverware/Cutlery Basket
Tips for Best Cleaning Results:
• Distribute items evenly and mix knives, forks, and
spoons so that items will avoid nesting.
•ALWAYS place forks and spoons with eating
portions up and handles down.
• Each compartment has a lid which will separate the
silverware for the best cleaning and drying results.
The lids also hold small, lightweight items in place.
•IMPORTANT: Sharp or pointed items, such as
knives, should always be put in with the point
down to protect your hands.
• Basket can be moved to upper rack or lower rack.
Adjusting Racks
The Lower Rack
The lower rack is best for dinner plates, smaller plates,
serving plates, larger bowls, pots, and pans.
• Securely place heavily soiled cookware face down in
the rack.
• Use the fold-down tines to provide space for large
items such as
pots and pans.
• Make sure pot
handles and
other items

The Upper Rack

plates, and saucers and can accommodate full-sized
plates up to 10-1/4”.

place with Hold Tight™ dividers.
• Arrange
