Dish Preparation Prior to Loading

• No pre-rinsing of normal food soil is required.

• Scrape off hard soils, including bones,
toothpicks, skins and seeds.

• Remove large quantities of any remaining
food.

• Remove leafg vegetables, meat trimmings
and excessive amounts of grease or oil,

• Remove acidic food soils that can discolor
stainless steel.

Proper Use of Detergent

Use onl Udetergent specificall U made for use in
dishwashers. Keep uour detergent fresh and dr U.

Don't put powder detergent into the dispenser
until Uou're read U to wash dishes.

The amount of detergent to use depends on
whether uour water is hard or soft. With hard
water, you need extra detergent. With soft water,

Uou need less detergent.
Protect uour dishes and dishwasher bU

contacting uour water department and asking
how hard uour water is. Twelve or more grains
is extremel U hard waten A water softener is

recommended. Without it, lime can build up
in the water valve, which could stick while open

and cause flooding. Too much detergent with
soft water can cause a permanent cloudiness

of glassware, called etching.
