How to prepare the dishes for washing

If this is your first dishwasher, or if you’re replacing a much older model, you may wonder how much pre-preparation your dishes need. Actually very little. Pre-rinsing of normal food soils is not necessary. With common sense and a little practice you’ll soon how what foods to remove. Here are some guidelines:

1.Scrape off bones, seeds, stins, toothpicb and other hard solids. It is also best to remove hard shelled vegetables, meat trimmings, leafy vegetables and crusts. Remove excessive quantities of oil or grease.

2.Remove large quantities of any

food. Your dishwasher has a built-in SOR food disposer that pulverizes soft food bits and flushes them away. It can handle small amounts of soft foods, but large amounts will be difficult to handle.

3.Try to remove food scraps and place dishes in dishwasher before soil has a chance to dry and become hard. Dishes with dried-on soil are more difficult to wash and may not come clean in the NORMAL WASH cycle. Remember to use your MNSE HOLD cycle for small “holding” loads.

Note: The foods mentioned above are for examples only. Other foods not mentioned may also need to be removed from your dishes. You may rdso want to consider removing fds such as mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice and other foods that can cause discoloration of staidess stil if dlowd to remain on dishes for a long period of time.
