Dos and Don'ts of Loading

Sharp or pointed items must be placed horizontally or with sharp edges/points facing down to avoid risk of injury.

Protruding items will stop the internal lid of the dishwasher from sealing properly, which could result in a service call.

A neatly arranged load with evenly spaced dishes helps wash performance.

Overcrowding reduces wash performance.

If plates and cutlery are nesting, they are less likely to be cleaned well.

Ensure that water reaches all items on the racks.

Dishware is blocking water from reaching items on the adjustable racks.
