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

How to prepare the dishes
for washing
1~
this is your
first
dishwasher, or
if
you’re replacing
a
much older
model, you may wonder how much
preparation your dishes need.
Actually very little. Pre-rinsing
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
veget~b]es
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
,\tnal/
amounts
of soft
foods.
but
large
amounts
will
be
difficult
to handle.
3. Try to remove
food
scraps
and
place dishes in dishwasher
before
soil has a chance to dry and become
hard. Dishes with dried-on soil
are
more difficult to wash and
may
not
come clean in the NORMAL
WASH
cycle.
Remember to use
your RINSE & HOLD cycle for
small
“holding” loads.
Note:
The foods mentioned above
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
~S
& PANS
cycle can wash heavily
soiled
dishes and remove dried-on and
baked-on
soils
from pots, pans
and
casseroles. Items with burned-on
and baked-on soils may not come
clean, and the dishwasher
cannot
remove burn marks or restore
fading
caused by overheating during cooking.
