Containers, bowls, pots/pans, and  
Before You Call  
any dishware with concave surfaces  
that can collect water should be  
placed in the rack facing or angled

even from the lowest point.

list. It may save you both time and  
expense. This list includes common  
experiences that are not the result of

don’t jar loose when moving racks  
in and out. Move racks in and out  
slowly.

improve drying.

filled.

bleach and one quart (1L) of warm  
water. Rinse thoroughly.  
Check for proper loading-avoid  
nesting items.  
Plastic items may need to be towel  
dried.  
Cups with a concave bottom will  
collect water. Load them at the far  
left of the upper rack so they will be  
held in a tilted position.  
Iron deposits in water can cause a  
yellow or brown film. A special filter  
installed in the water supply line will  
correct this problem. (See Removing  
Spots and Film).
