How To Prepare Your Tableware, Pots And Pam

Hard food wastes, such as bones and corn cobs, must be removed. These belong in a food waste disposer. Large amounts of food soil on table- ware must be removed — particularly starchy foods such as mashed potatoes, rice or cooked

cereals, because they do not readily dissolve in water. Loosen baked -on food from utensils and casserolc dishes by soaking in hot water before loading them into dishwasher.

How To Load Your Dishwasher

This is a random “mixed-load’”... the most com- mon type you will have.

Both racks of your dishwasher may be loaded at random as illustrated. As you pull out the racks, you’ll find the upper rack rests on the lower rack supports. When loading the dish- washer, set the upper rack on your countertop and load it there. Fill the lower rack in the dish- washer.

Pots and pans, casseroles and other items with heavy, dried-on and baked-on soils must be loaded in the lower rack with the open end

down, facing directly toward the wash arm be- low the lower rack. Shallow items may be angled provided the lower side does not shield soiled surface inside from direct water action. Lightly-soiled items may be loaded in either the upper or lower rack, with the soiled surfaces facing downward toward the center as illustrated.
