You’ll find two detergent
dispensers on the inside door of
your dishwasher. 
There are two
because some cycles use two
washes.

How to prepare the dishes
for washing

 this is your 

 dishwasher, or

 you’re replacing   much older

model, you may wonder how much
preparation your dishes need.
Actually very little. Pre-rinsing 
normal 

 

 is not necessary.

With common 

 

 a little

practice you’ll soon know what
foods to remove. 

Here 

 

guidelines:

1. 

 

 bones, seeds, skins,

toothpicks 

 other hard solids. 

is also best to remove hard shelled
vegetables, meat trimmings, 

 and crusts. Remove

excessive quantities 

   or grease.

2. Remove 

 quantities of any

 Your dishwasher 

   built-in

 food disposer that pulverizes

soft food bits 

 flushes them

 It 

 

 

 amounts

 soft 

 but 

 amounts 

be 

 to handle.

3. Try to remove 

 scraps 

place dishes in dishwasher 
soil has a chance to dry and become
hard. Dishes with dried-on soil 
more difficult to wash and 

 not

come clean in the NORMAL
WASH 

 Remember to use

your RINSE & HOLD cycle for

 “holding” loads.

Note: The foods mentioned above
are examples only. Other foods not
mentioned may 

 need to be

removed from your dishes. You may
also want to consider removing
foods such as mustard, mayonnaise.
vinegar, 

 juice and other 

that can cause discoloration of
stainless steel if 

 to remain

on dishes for a 

 period   time.

When using the POTS & PANS

cycle, less preparation is required
before loading. The 

 & PANS

cycle can wash heavily 

dishes and remove dried-on and
baked-on 

 from pots, pans 

casseroles. Items with burned-on
and baked-on soils may not come
clean, and the dishwasher 
remove burn marks or restore 
caused by overheating during cooking.
