To load the Amana ADB1300AFS Full Console Dishwasher properly, follow these steps:

1. Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks, and other hard items from dishes. Remove labels from containers before washing.
2. Make sure that when the dishwasher door is closed, no items are blocking the detergent dispenser.
3. Load items with soiled surfaces facing down and inward toward the spray. This will improve cleaning and drying results. Angle the dirtiest dish surfaces downward, allowing space for water to flow up through the rack and between dishes.
4. Avoid overlapping items like bowls or plates that may trap food.
5. Place plastics, small plates, and glasses in the upper rack.
6. Only wash items marked as "dishwasher safe."
7. To avoid thumping or clattering noises during operation, load dishes so they do not touch one another. Make sure lightweight load items are secured in the racks.
8. Use slots in the silverware basket covers (if provided) and suggested loading patterns to keep your silverware separated for optimum wash.
9. If your silverware does not fit into the designated slots, lift and slide off the covers to remove them and mix silverware types to keep them separated.
10. When loading silverware, always place sharp items pointing down and avoid "nesting."

Note: The silverware basket may vary by model.
