Crosley dishwashers are made to make your life in the kitchen easier. On top of the key features that Crosley builds into the machines, there are a few tips you can use to get the most out of your dishwashing experience.
 
1. Face your dishes toward the center
The spray arm shoots water from the middle out. Places your dishes, baking sheets and pans facing the center to maximize the spray power.

2. Keep it Clean
You can’t expect a dirty appliance to get things fully clean. Your Crosley dishwasher needs a deep clean every now and then, too! Using a dishwasher cleaner and a little elbow grease will help your appliance go a long way.

3. Don’t Overload!
Dishwashers that are too full are a problem. With too many items in the machine, the water spray may be blocked causing you more work in the long run. Make sure that everything has space and there is no clanking within your racks.

4. Unload the bottom first
When unloading your dishwasher,  it is helpful to start on the bottom rack. This ensures any water that may have been collected in bowls or cups up top won’t spill over to your bottom dishes and get them dirty all over again.

5. Run your sink first
Before starting a dishwasher cycle, turn your sink faucet on until it runs hot water. This will make sure that your dishwasher’s first cycle of water will be hot, cleaning and sanitizing from the get-go.
