1. **Loading the Dishwasher:** Remove large food particles. Place items in the correct racks, ensuring they don't block spray arms. Pots and pans face down. Deep pots slanted. Silverware basket cannot be doubled. Upper rack holds delicate items and can be adjusted for height.
2. **Adding Detergent:** Open the dispenser, add detergent to the "C" compartment, and close until it clicks.
3. **Adding Rinse Aid:** Turn the "C" cap counter-clockwise, pour rinse aid, and adjust dosage with "F" adjuster (setting 3 is normal).
