NOTE: The above chart is a general guide. Detergent amounts should be adjusted depending on the amount and type of soil until
satisfactory results are achieved.
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.
Scrape off bones, seeds, skins, toothpicks and other
hard solids. Remove excessive quantities of oil
or grease.

The detergent will be dispensed automatically during
the wash portion of the cycle.
If you have a problem closing the cover of the detergent
dispenser, it is likely due to excess detergent in the area
where the cover seals. Brush the detergent away from
the seal area and relatch. If the cover still will not close
it may be because the machine was stopped in the wash
portion of the cycle.

NOTE: 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.
The POTS & PANS cycle can wash heavily soiled dishes
and remove dried-on and baked-on soils from pots,
pans and casseroles. Items with burned-on soils need
extra preparation.
