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

Dial is at
OFFposition
before
adding detergent. Otherwise, the
detergent cup will not close and
latch properly.)
How to prepare the
dishes for washing
If this is your first dishwasher, or
if you’re replacing a much older
model, you may wonder how much
pre-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
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,
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 for 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
Pm&
PANS
cycle,
less preparation is required
before loading. The
P~S
& PANS
cycle can wash heavily-soiled
dishes. 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.
Close the main cup.
