If your detergent gets old or
lumpy, throw it away. It won't
wash well. Old detergent loses
its power. Lumpy detergent often
won't dissolve.
You'll find two detergent
dispensers on the inside door of
your dishwasher. Wo, because
some cycles use two washes.

Detergent Usage Guide
What you can
leave on dishes
And what you shouldn't
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 trim-
mings, 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 pulver-
izes soft food bits and flushes them
away. It can handle smafl amounts
of soft foods, but cannot handle
large amounts of food as soft as
mashed potatoes or applesauce.
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. Remem-
ber to use your RINSE ONLY
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 remov-
ing foods such as mustard, mayon-
naise, vinegar, lemon juice and
other foods that can cause dis-
coloration of stainless steel if
allowed to remain on dishes for a
long period of time.
When using the POTSCRUBBER
cycle less preparation is required
before loading. The POTSCRUB-
BER cycle can wash heavily-soiled
dishes and remove dried-on and
baked-on soils from pots, pans
and casseroles. Items with burned-
on soils will not come clean. And
the dishwasher cannot remove
burn marks or restore fading
caused by overheating during
cooking.
