Instructions for a Kenmore Dishwasher
Dishwashing is one of the most disliked household chores that must be done on a regular basis. The modern dishwasher makes it a bit easier to get the dishes clean by only requiring you to load the machine instead of washing each dish. Kenmore, one of the leading manufacturers of dishwashers, offers several model series, including ones that also dry the dishes. The operating instructions can vary depending on model, but there are some common steps to washing dishes in nearly all Kenmore dishwashers. Does this Spark an idea?

Scrape the dirty dishes to remove any excess food or debris. Open the Kenmore dishwasher door and pull out the dish racks. Place your dirty dishes on the rack in a position that doesn't overlap other dishes or prevents the spray from reaching the dishes.

Tips & Warnings
Position your dishes carefully. The top rack is usually best for cups, glasses and saucers. Avoid blocking the wash arm that rotates in the bottom of the washer and sprays water.
Consult the instructions on your detergent for the amount to put in the dishwasher and avoid over filling the detergent holder.
To conserve water and electricity, try to run your dishwasher with full loads only.
Avoid washing crystal, cast iron or hand painted dishes in your dishwasher to avoid broken or damaged dishes.
Dishes will be hot immediately after the cycle ends. Wear protective gear if necessary to avoid injury or allow the dishes to remain in the dishwasher for an extra fifteen to twenty minutes so they can cool off.
These instructions may vary depending on the model of Kenmore dishwasher you're operating. Consult the user manual for your specific Kenmore dishwasher if you have any questions.
