PREPARING AND LOADING DISHES
Dish Preparation
Scrape away large pieces of food, bones, pits, 
toothpicks, etc.  The continuously fi ltered wash 
fl uid will remove remaining food particles.  
Burned-on foods should be loosened before 
loading.  Empty liquids from glasses and cups.
Foods such as mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, 
lemon juice and tomato based products may 
cause discoloration of stainless steel and plastics 
if allowed to sit for a long period of time.  Unless 
the dishwasher is to be operated at once, it is 
best to pre-rinse or use the rinse only cycle to 
rinse off these food soils.
• 
Load racks so that large items do not 
prevent the detergent dispenser from 
opening.
• 
Check manufacturer’s recommendations 
before washing items in question.
• 
If the dishwasher drains into a Food 
Disposer, be sure disposer is 
completely empty before starting 
dishwasher.
