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
before washing
items in question.
• If the dishwasher drains
into a food disposer, be sure disposer is
completely empty before starting dishwasher.

variety of items including cups, glasses, stemware,
small plates, bowls, etc.
Load glasses in top rack. Damage may occur if placed

during dishwasher operation.

Some models have a fold-down cup shelf or a cup shelf/
stemware holder. They can be used to load two levels of
cups, juice glasses, and other short items. Stagger
items on upper level so that water can reach all inside
surfaces. Fold up to load tall glasses.
