Dish Preparation

Scrape away large pieces of food, bones,
pits, toothpicks, etc. The continuously filtered
wash system will remove the remaining food
particles. Burned on foods should be loosened
before loading. Empty liquids from glasses and
cups. Foods such as mustard, mayonnaise,
vinegar, lemon juice and tomato based
products may cause discoloration of stainless
steel and plastics if allowed to sit for a long
period of time.
Unless the dishwasher is to be operated at
once it is best to rinse off these food soils. If
the dishwasher drains into a food disposer,
be sure disposer is completely empty
before starting dishwasher.

you to load items with a maximum height
of 11 inches.

make it easy to load those extra large and
hard-to-fit items. The tines may be left up
for normal use or folded down for more
flexible loading. Fold down for more space
to load large pots or pans.

the back of the plate in front of it, and the
open sides of the plates at the center of the
dishwasher face each other.
