Preparing & Loading Dishes
DISH PREPARATION
Scrape away large pieces of food, bone, pits,
toothpicks, etc. The wash system will remove
remaining food particles. Gently scrape away
burned-on food with a non-scratch utensil or set
dish soak before washing. Empty liquids from
glasses and cups.
Foods containing vegetable oil and/or chemical
additives such as mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar,
lemon juice or 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
disposal,
be sure disposal is
completely empty before starting
dishwasher.
LOADING THE TOP RACK
The top rack is designed for flexibility in loading a
wide variety of items including cups, glasses,
stemware, small plates, bowls, etc.
•
Load glasses in top rack. Damage may
occur if placed in bottom rack.
•
Load items with open ends facing down for
better cleaning and draining.
•
Damage may occur if delicate items touch
each other during dishwasher operation.
•
Long-handled knives and utensils can be
placed in the top rack's versa tray.
•
Be sure nothing protrudes through the
bottom of the rack to block rotation of middle
spray arm.
