Hotpoint Dishwasher What you shouIdn7t, Detergent Usage Guide, SO~ Water, Cycles, ~ ~~pletely

‘f your detergent gets old or iumpy, throw it away. It won’t wash well. Old detergent loses its power. Lumpy detergent often won’t dissolve.

You’ll find two detergent dis~ensers on the inside door of your dishwasher. Two, because some cycles use two washes.

See “Detergent Usage Guide” below, (Be ;ure the ~ycle Indicator Dial is at OFF position before adding detergent.)

What you can leave on dishes.

And what you shouIdn7t.

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 know what foods to remove. Here are some guidelines:

1.Scrape off bones, seeds, skins, toothpicks 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 soft food disposer that pulver- izes soft food bits and flushes them away. It can handle sma// amounts of soft foods, but large amounts of food as soft as mashed potatoes or applesauce 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 Cycle. Remember to use your Rinse 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 also want to consider removing foods such as mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice and other foods that can cause discoloration of stainless steel if allowed to remain on dishes for a long period of time.

When using the POWER SCRUB cycle (on models so equipped) less preparation is required before loading. The Power Scrub cycle can wash heavily-soiled dishes and remove dried-on and baked-on soils from pots, pans and casse- roles. Items with burned-on soils will not come clean. And the dishwasher cannot remove burn marks or restore fading caused by overheating during cooking.
