PREPARING AND LOADING DISHES
Dish Preparation
Scrape away large pieces of food, bones, pits, toothpicks,
etc. The continuously filtered wash fluid will remove
remaining food particles. Burned-on foods should be
loosened before loading. Empty liquids from glasses and
cups.
Foods such as mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice
and tomato based products may cause discoloration of
stainless steel and plastics if allowed to sit for a long
period of time. Unless the dishwasher is to be operated at
once, it is best to pre-rinse or use the Rinse Only cycle to
rinse off these food soils.
• Load racks so that large items do not prevent the
detergent dispenser from opening.
• Check manufacturer's
recommendations
before washing items
in question.
• If the dishwasher
drains into a food
disposer, be sure
disposer is
completely empty
before starting
the dishwasher.
