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.
Prerinsing
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
POTS & PANS cycle. Remember to use your
RINSE & HOLD cycle for small “holding” loads.
NOTE: The foods mentioned are 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 POTS & PANS
cycle,
less preparation
is required before loading. The POTS & PANS cycle can
wash heavily soiled dishes and remove dried-on and
baked-on soils from pots, pans and casseroles, Items with
burned-on soils may not come clean, and the dishwasher
cannot remove bum marks or restore fading caused by
overheating during cooking.
