and you do not plan to wash dishes until the
dishwasher is full, rinse heavy soils off dishes and
utensils before loading, and be sure to rinse off
silverware to prevent it from tarnishing.

Hard food wastes, such as bones and corn cobs,
must be removed. These belong in a food waste
disposer. Large amounts of food soil on table­
ware must be removed —particularly starchy
foods such as mashed potatoes, rice or cooked
cereals, because they do not readily dissolve in
water. Loosen baked-on food from utensils and
casserole dishes by soaking in hot water before
loading them into dishwasher.

Both racks of your dishwasher may be loaded

and load it there. Fill the lower rack in the dish­
washer.
Pots and pans, casseroles and other items with
heavy, dried-on and baked-on soils must be
loaded in the lower rack with the open end
down, facing directly toward the wash arm be­
low the lower rack. Shallow items may be
angled provided the lower side does not shield

Lightly-soiled items may be loaded in either
the upper or lower rack, with the soiled surfaces
facing downwEU'd toward the center as illustrated.
