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

With common sense and a little practice you'll soon know what

foods to remove. Here are some

is also best to remove hard shelled guidelines:

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 pulverizes

soft food bits and flushes them away. It can handle small amounts of

SOftfOodS,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 WASH cycle. Remember to use your RINSE & HOLD cycle for small "holding" loads.

casseroles. Items with burned-on

 

soils may not come clean. And the
