See
"Detergent Usage Guide'' below.
(Be sure the Cycle Indicator Dial
is at OFF position before adding
detergent. Otherwise, the detergent
cup lid WW not close and latch
properly. )
Always close the main cup tightly.
When it isjirmly latched, you will
hear a clicking sound. Do not
overtighten.
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 fd
soils is "notnecessary.
With common sense and a little
practice, you'll
soon
know what
fds
to remove. Here are some
guidelines:
L 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
fbod. Yourdishwasher 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 of
fd
as soft as mashed potatoes or
applesaucewill be difflcuh to handle.
3.
Try to remove fd
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
WASHcycle. Remember to use
your RINSE ONLY cycle for
small "holding" loads.
Note: The foods mentioned here
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 fds
that can cause discoloration of
stainless steel if allowed to remain
on dishes for a long period of time.
When using the POIWP~S
cycle, less preparation is required
before loading. The P~/PANS
cycle can wash heavily-soiled
dishes and remove dried-on and
baked-on soils from pots, pans and
casseroles. Items with burned-on
soils may not come clean. And the
dishwasher cannot remove bum
marks or restore fading caused by
overheating during cooking.
NOZE: Detergent cup maybe opened
manually with no harm. Turn handle
counterclockwise
until it releases.
A snapping sound is normal when
it opens.
