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

How to prepare the dishes
for washing
If this is your first dishwasher, or
if you’re replacing a much older
model, you may wonder how much
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 pulverizes
soft food bits and flushes them
away. It
can
handle
small
amounts
of soft foods, but large amounts 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.
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,
vinegm,
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 POTSCRUBBER
cycle, less
preparation is required
before loading. The POTSCRUBBER
cycle can wash heavily-soiled dishes.
Items with burned-on and baked-on
soils may not come clean. And the
dishwasher cannot remove burn
marks or restore fading caused by
overheating during cooking.
