Dishes must be scraped and/or rinsed to remove food particles and other debris. Never use steel wool on ware to be loaded into the dishwasher. Place dishes in a rack. Do not stack dishes on top of each other as water must have free access to all sides of every dish. Stand plates edgewise in a peg-type rack (Fig.7). Cups, glasses and bowls should lay upside down in an open or compartment-type rack (Fig. 7). Silverware and other small pieces should lay loosely on the bottom of a flat-bottom rack. See Operator Card (supplied) for other loading patterns. Do not allow foreign objects to enter the unit, especially metallic contaminants such as staples, paper clips, etc.

Check to see if any detergent, rinse aid, or sanitizer chemicals need to be replenished. Use only commercial type detergents, as prescribed by your chemical professional.
