DISHWARE DAMAGE:
Delicate or
heirloom items can be damaged
in a dishwasher. Do not wash
delicate or heirloom items in your
dishwasher if there is any
possibility of damage to such
items.
a) Items with baked-on or hard, dried-
on soiling will require either Power
Scrub Plus or possibly soaking and
hand-scouring.

thoroughly clean large loads having
loosely attached normal soiling.
c) For delicate or heirloom dishware
and silverware, or other special items,
select Delicate/Econo after referring to
the Materials section of this manual.
Hand-washing may be the best
treatment of such items.

you to keep a small load in your
dishwasher until you have enough items
