How
to
preparethe dishes
for
washing
If this is your fwstdishwasher,or
if you'rereplacinga much older
model,you may wonderhow much
preparationyour dishesneed,
Actuallyvery little.Pre-rinsingof
normalfood soilsis not necessary.
With common senseand a little
practice you'llsoonknow what
foodsto remove. Here are some
guidelines:
1. Scrape off bones,seeds,skins,
toothpicksand otherhard solids.It
is also best to removehard shelled
vegetables,meat trimmings,leafy
vegetablesand crusts.Remove
excessivequantitiesof oil or grease.
20Remove large quantitiesof any
food. Yourdishwasherhas a built-in
soft food disposerthatpulverizes
soft food bits and flushesthem
away.It can handlesmall amounts
of soft foods, but largeamountswill
be difficultto handle.

3. T1yto removefood scrapsarid
placedishesin dishwasherbefore
soil has a chanceto dly and become
hard.Disheswith dried-onsoil are
more difficultto wash and may not
come clean in the NORMAL
WASHcycle. Rememberto use
your RINSE & HOLD cycle for
small "holding" loads.

are for examplesonly.Other foods
not mentionedmay also need to be
removedfrom your dishes.Youmay

foods such as mustard,mayonnaise,
vinegar,lemonjuice and other foods
