PREPARING AND LOADING DISHES
Dish Preparation
Scrape away large pieces of food, bones, pits,
toothpicks, etc. The continuously fi ltered wash
fl uid 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 pre-rinse or use the rinse only cycle 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.

other during dishwasher operation.
