PREPARATIONS FOR WASHING

Very little preparation is required before placing dishes, pots, pans, etc. into the dishwasher. However, some preparation is required:

•Large solids, such as, bones, large seeds, shells, skins, leafy vegetables, meat trimmings, etc. should be removed either by scraping into a wastebasket, or into your food disposer.

•Large amounts of any type of leftover food should also be scraped into a wastebasket or into your food disposer.

•Pots and pans that have burned-on food, the food is blackened, should be pre-soaked and scoured. The dishwasher cannot remove burned-on food.

•Do not place the following items in the dishwasher:

>toothpicks

>small bones and bone slivers

>paper products such as paper plates and paper

napkins

> plastic bags or plastic packaging material.

In general, try to remove food scraps and place the items to be washed in the dishwasher before the food has had a

chance to dry-on. Dried-on food is more difficult to

remove. If there will be an extended period of time before the dishwasher will be run it is recommended that the

RINSE & HOLD cycle be used.

Other than the above, no special preparation or pre-rinsingis required for dishes, pots and pans or utensils with normal amounts of food soil.
