Preparing Dishes

It is not necessary to rinse normal food soils off the dishes before
putting them in the dishwasher, although larger solid particles, such as
bones, seeds, skins, pits, and toothpicks should be removed.
If you are not going to run the dishwasher immediately after loading, it
is best to rinse salty and highly acidic foods off stainless steel, silver,
and silverplate flatware. Prolonged contact of foods—including lemon
juice, salt, vinegar, mustard, mayonnaise, and salad dressings—with
stainless steel can cause corrosion (pitting).
Before Operation
1. Load the dishes per recommended loading. See section on Loading
Dishwasher.
2. Make sure there is rinse agent in the dispenser. Add rinse agent if
needed. See section on Rinse Agent.
3. Add proper amount of detergent and pre-wash. See section on
Dishwasher Detergent.
4. Push both top and bottom racks in.
5. Select the desired cycle and option(s).
6. Press "START". The "START" symbol will illuminate to indicate the
unit is ready.
7. Close the door tightly until you hear a click. Otherwise, the
dishwasher will not start.
