Dish Preparation
Scrape away large pieces of food, bones, pits,
toothpicks, etc. The continuously fi ltered wash fl uid
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
dishwasher.
