9 Preparing & Loading Dishes
Scrape away large pieces of food, bone, pits,
toothpicks, etc. The wash system will remove
remaining food particles. Gently scrape away
burned-on food with a non-scratch utensil or let
dish soak before washing (see Figure 1). Empty
liquids from glasses and cups.
Foods containing vegetable oil and/or chemical
additives such as mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar,
lemon juice or 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
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 disposal,
be sure disposal is completely empty
before starting dishwasher.
• Load glasses in top rack. Damage may occur
if placed in bottom rack unless Stemware
Cycle is selected.
• Damage may occur if delicate items touch
each other during dishwasher operation.
• Long-handled knives and utensils can be
placed in the top rack's versa tray.
• Be sure nothing protrudes through the bottom
of the rack to block rotation of middle spray
arm.
LOADING THE TOP RACK
The top rack is designed for flexibility in loading a
wide variety of items including cups, glasses,
stemware, small plates, bowls, etc.
