Instructions for the Dishwasher

Loading the Dishwasher

• If something is really grungy, rinse it off first.
• Small cups and bowls should go on the top.
• Large bowls and plates should go on the bottom.
• Silverware should be put in handle down.
• Huge pots and pans should be washed by hand.
• Knives, especially sharp ones, should be washed by hand.

Running the Diswasher

• Push the dishwasher over to the sink.
• Plug the dishwasher into the nearest socket.
• Add some detergent to the compartment in the door of the dishwasher.
• Slide the hose onto the faucet.
• Turn on the hot water. (If you did not make a good seal in the previous step, water will gush everywhere.)
• Turn the dial to Heavy Wash, Normal Wash, or Light Wash.
