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
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 trimmings, 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 pulverizes
soft food bits and flushes them away.
It can handle small amounts of
soft foods, but large amounts will
be difficult to handle.
Always close the main cup tightly.
When it is firmly latched, you will
hear a clicking sound. Do not
overtighten.
NOTE: Detergent cup may be opened
manually with no harm. Turn handle
counterclockwise until it releases.
A snapping sound is normal when
it opens.
Detergent Usage Guide (powder or liquid)
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. 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 foods
that can cause discoloration of
stainless steel if allowed to remain
on dishes for a long period of time.
