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 let dish soak before washing (see Figure 1). 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.
