Scrape leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard items from dishes. To save water and energy, do not rinse dishes before putting them into the dishwasher. Foods like eggs, rice, pasta, and cooked cereals may be hard to remove if they are left to dry over a period of time. Run a Rinse & Hold cycle (if available) to keep dishes moist if you do not plan to wash them soon.
Load dishes so soiled surfaces face the rotating spray arms. Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping. It is important for the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces for best washing. For best drying, water must be able to drain from all surfaces.

The top rack is designed for cups, glasses and smaller items. Some models have a third level wash to improve washability. Do not cover the third level wash when loading the top rack.
