Loading Your Dishwasher - Kenmore 263.1462 Series Use & Care Manual

5 LOADING YOUR DISHWASHER

Proper loading of the dishwasher will help it run
efficiently with the best possible washing and
drying performance.
The lower rack can accommodate large and
deep items such as pots with long handles,
pot lids, plates, salad plates and cutlery sets.
The upper rack has been designed for dessert
plates, salad bowls, cups and glasses. When
placing long stem glasses and goblets, lean them
against the basket edge, rack or glass supporter
wire and not against other items. Do not lean
long glasses against one another or they
cannot remain steady and may be damaged.
It is more appropriate to locate the thin and
narrow shaped items into the middle sections of
racks. Place spoons in separate openings of the
silverware basket and do not allow them to nest.
Use the silverware basket to obtain the best
cleaning result for spoons, forks, and knives. To
avoid any possible injuries, always place such
long-handle and sharp-pointed items as serving
fork, bread knife etc. with their sharp points
facing down or horizontally on the baskets.
WARNING: Place your dishes into your
machine in a way that they will not prevent the
upper and lower spray arms from spinning.
NOTE: Place all large and very dirty items
in the lower rack.
WARNING: Do not put in the appliance
items that can absorb water (sponges, household
cloths).
NOTE: Place all containers such as cups,
glasses and pots into the dishwasher with the
opening facing downwards (so that no water can
collect).
NOTE: Dishes and cutlery should not be
placed above each other.
NOTE: Do not overload your dishwasher
and pay attention to manufacturer instructions
regarding dishes which are appropriate for
use in a dishwasher. Only with suitable dishes
(mentioned in section 5) will you obtain optimal
washing results with a sensible use of energy.
High temperature water and dishwasher
detergent may form a chemical synthesis that
can damage certain items.
WARNING: Be careful when loading and
unloading sharp items. Load sharp knives with
the handles up to reduce the risk of personal
injury.
Follow the below steps before loading
dishwasher.
1. Open the door.
2. Remove coarse food leftovers from
tableware.
3. Load the dishwasher.
NOTE: While the appliance is running
if you open the door all functions are
automatically interrupted. Once the door is
closed functions will continue to work.
