Keep your detergent fresh and
sink isn't a good
the
moisture. Don't pu; powder
detergent into the dispenser until
you 're ready to wash dishes,
either. (It won't be fresh OR dry.)
If your powder detergent gets
old or lumpy, throw it away. It
won't wash well. Old detergent
often won't dissolve.
If you use a liquid dishwasher
detergent, these precautions are
not necessary because liquid
detergents don't "lump" as they
age or come in contact with water.
You'll find two detergent
dispensers on the inside door of
your dishwasher. There are 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 hwd 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
soils have a chance to dry and
become hard. Dishes with dried-on
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 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 POTSCRUBBER
cycle, less preparation is required
before loading. The POTSCRUBBER
cycle can wash heavily-soiled
dishes and remove dried-on and
baked-on soils from pots, pans
and casseroles. However, items
with burned-on soils may not come
clean, and the dishwasher cannot
remove burn marks or restore
fading caused by overheating
during cooking.
