You’ll find two detergent dispensers on the inside
door of your dishwasher. Two, because some cycles
use two washes.

How to Prepare the Dishes for Washing
If
this is your first dishwasher, or
if
you’re replacing
a much older
mode],
you may wonder how much
preparation your dishes need. Actually very little.
Prerinsing
of normal food soils is not necessary.
With common sense
and
a
little practice you’ll soon
know
what
foods to remove. Here
are
some guidelines:
1. Scrape
off bones, seeds, skins, toothpicks and other
hard solids. It is also best to remove hard-shelled
vegetables, meat trimmings, leafy vegetables
and
crusts. Remove excessive quantities of oil or grease.
2. Remove large quantities
of any food. Your
dishwasher has a built-in soft food disposer that
pulverizes
soft
food
bits and flushes them away.
It can handle
small
amounts of
soft
foods,
bLIt
large amounts will be
difficu]t
to handle.
3. Try to remove food scraps
and
place dishes in
dishwasher before soil has
a
chance to dry and
become herd. Dishes with dried-on soil
are
more
difficult to wash
and
tnay
not come clean in the
POTS & PANS
cycle.
Remember to use your
RINSE
&
HOLD
cycle
for
small “holding” loads.
NOTE:
The
foods
mentioned
are
examples only.
Other
foods
not mentioned may also need to be
removed
from
your dishes. You may also want to
consider removing foods such as mustard, mayonnaise,
vinegar, lemon juice and other foods that can cause
discoloration of stainless steel if allowed
to
remain
on dishes for a
long
period
of time.
When using the POTS & PANS cycle,
less preparation
is required before loading. The POTS & PANS cycle can
wash
heavily soiled
dishes and remove dried-on and
baked-on soils from pots, pans and casseroles. Items with
burned-on soils may not come clean, and the dishwasher
cannot
remt)ve
burn marks
or
restore fading caused by
overheating during cooking.
