Preparing and Loading Dishes
Dish Preparation
Scrape away large pieces of food, bones, pits,
toothpicks, etc. The continuous filtered wash system will
remove 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.
• Load racks so
that large items
do not
prevent the
detergent
dispenser
from opening.
• Check
manufacturer's
recommendations
beforewashing
items in question.
If the dishwasher drains
into a food disposer, be sure disposer is
completely empty before starting dishwasher.
