Before You Start
� Don't Prerinse. Simply scrape off any bones or large food particles. The disposer in your dishwasher will handle the occasional pits, fruit seeds and popcorn. These items will be chopped into small pieces during the drain and removed with the drain water, You may hear a chopping noise during the drain. This is normal, � If connected to a food waste disposer, make certain the disposer is empty before starting the dishwasher. This allows proper draining, � Scrape off large amounts of tomato-based food soils (see page 12). � Remove certain foods (such as mustard, mayonnaise, lemon juice, vinegar, salt or dressings) from stainless steel flatware as soon as possible. These foods may cause rusting and pitting if allowed to remain in contact with the surface for an extended period of time. � Scrape or soak items with burnt on foods as they require more energy than the rest of the load to clean satisfactorily. � Soak or wipe a starchy film from utensils used to cook foods such as potatoes, pasta, rice, oatmeal, etc., as they require more energy than the rest of the load to clean satisfactorily.

General Recommendations
� Place all items in the racks so they are separated and facing center. This ensures the water spray can reach soiled surfaces for good washing and rinsing results, � Wedge flat, lightweight items (such as plastic lids) next to the silverware basket or along the sides and back of the racks. � Items can be centered behind a single tine or loaded at an angle to maximize space. � Load items so they do not rest over the top of the wash tower. This water spray is needed to properly clean items in the upper rack. � Avoid blocking the upper and lower spray arms by not allowing items to extend beyond the racks, � Caution: Dishes will be hot if unloaded shortly after cycle is completed.
