hard soils.

leafy vegetables and excessive amounts of oil
or grease..

discolor stainless steel..
°
Remove large quantities of any food.
When using the POTS PANS cycle, less preparation
is required. This cycle can wash heavily-soiled dishes
and remove dried-on and baked-on soils from pots,
pans and casseroles. However, items with burned-on
soils may not come clean.
You'll find two detergent
dispensers on the inside
door of your dishwasher.
Do not add detergent
until you are ready to
start the cycle., Use fresh
detergent.
The dispenser will
automatically release
detergent at the correct
times during the cycle.
Always close the main cup tightly.
When it is firmly latched, you will hear
a clicking sound. It is not necessary
to overtighten.
Close the main cup.
NOTE: To open the detergent
dispenser after it has been closed,
unlatch the door and rotate the Dial
Grasp handle, rotate
and close tightly
a full turn to the OFF position. When the closed cup
contains soap, it is best that the door be in a partially
open position before rotating the Dial. This will help
reduce the amount of detergent and rinse aid agent
spillage into the tub.
