Learn the best way to load a Samsung dishwasher

Plan ahead. The number and size of the dishes will determine the optimal load pattern, so have a good idea before putting the first dish in. For the suggested load patterns for your model, see the user manual.

Use all of your dishwasher's features and configure it to what will work best for each load. Each dishwasher has foldable, adjustable, or removable parts to provide a variety of options. The user's manual has a description of your model's features.

Remove food debris (such as bones or seeds) and any other kind of waste (such as toothpicks or paper). These things could damage the dishes, create noise, or even cause a product malfunction.

Face the dirtiest side of each dish toward the center of the dishwasher. Anything that's open, like a pot or a cup, face down so water can spray up into it. And make sure there's enough space between the dishes.

Spin the spray nozzles by hand after loading is complete. If any of your dishes are sticking out (like pot handles) and blocking the nozzles from spinning freely, rearrange them.

Make sure the cycle type, soil level, and other settings match the dishes that have been loaded. Also, use the proper (manufacturer's recommended) amount of detergent and rinse aid.
