Helpful hints:

tures are unusually low or if your water travels a long distance from heater to dishwasher you may need to set your heater’s thermostat up. If you have not used hot water for some time, the water in the pipes will be cold. Turn on the hot water faucet at the sink and allow it to run until the water is hot. Then start the dishwasher. If

you’re replacing a much older pre-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 hard 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 in soft food disposer that

soft food bits and flushes them away. It can handle amounts of soft foods, but large amounts of food as soft as mashed potatoes or applesauce will be difficult to handle.

3. Try to remove food scraps and place dishes in dishwasher before soil has a chance to dry and become hard. Dishes with dried-on soil are more difficult to wash and may not come clean in the Normal Cycle. Remember to use your Rinse Hold Cycle for small “holding” loads.

Note:

The foods mentioned above are for 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 POWER SCRUB cycle (on models so equipped)

less preparation is required before loading. The Power Scrub cycle

can wash heavily-soiled dishes and remove dried-on and baked-on soils from pots, pans and casseroles. Items with burned-on soils will not come clean. And the dishwasher cannot remove burn marks or restore fading caused by overheating during cooking.

Close the main cup.

type you will have.

Make sure dishes are properly loaded to insure that water can reach the soiled surfaces. The wash arm in the bottom sprays water up. The

tower that rises in the center sends water out over the dishes to wash the items in the upper rack. On some models so equipped a spray arm in the top washes down also.

The wash tower rises through the center of the bottom rack during the

and rinse portions of the cycle. Don’t block it or load tall things next to it. Also, be careful not to let portion of an item extend through the bottom rack or the silverware basket, such as knives, skewers or pot handles.

How to load the TOP RACK.

The top rack is best for glasses, cups and saucers. Cups and glasses fit best along the sides. This is the place for dishwasher-safe plastics, too. Make sure small plastic items are lodged in tightly so they can’t fall onto the

heating unit.

Sauce pans, mixing bowls and other small items may be placed—face down—in the top rack. The top rack is handy for all kinds of odd shapes. Be sure the force of water and detergent can reach soiled surfaces.

Page 7

How to load the BOTTOM RACK.

Fit plates and saucers between the pins. Load platters, pots, pans and bowls along the sides, in corners or in the back.

Put flatware in the removable silverware basket. Load with handles up, to protect your hands.

Mix knives, forks and spoons so they don’t nest together. Distribute evenly. Take out anything that may fall or extend through the bottom of the basket.

Heavily soiled pots, pans and casseroles MUST

be loaded in the bottom rack, facing down. Prop the broiler pan and rack along the edge, tilted toward the center. Shallow items may be angled provided the lower side does not shield the soiled surface inside from the water,

Don’t let any item extend through bottom.

Before operating your convertible dishwasher the first time...

the Aerator Faucet

Adapter

The special aerator faucet adapter

supplied with your dishwasher

must be assembled to the sink faucet spout before you can use your dishwasher.

The faucet adapter is designed to fit standard spouts having internal or external threads. You will find the adapter and two washers in the “Hardware for Installation” packet in your dishwasher.

To install faucet adapter,

remove the old aerator or trim ring

on your faucet spout.

If faucet has external threads:

Insert the thinner of the two washers into the faucet adapter

attach it to the faucet spout.

faucet has internal threads:

Insert both washers into the adapter and attach it to the faucet spout.

If the faucet adapter threads do not match your faucet spout,

your local hardware or plumbing supply store normally has additional fittings to adapt your faucet spout to the special aerator faucet adapter.

Instructions

Care of the wood top

Before using, wipe well with a dry cloth to remove surface dust. Saturate a clean cloth with mineral

oil and polish all exposed wood surfaces until they gleam. Allow wood top to stand overnight to absorb the oil and repeat the treatment the next day. Allow to stand for 4 to 6 hours and wipe off excess oil with a soft, dry cloth.

Wood tops should not be used as

a place for thawing frozen foods, even when protected by a sheet of

aluminum foil. Never let water stand on the wood top.

To remove water stains, rub with a cloth saturated with non-toxic mineral oil (available at most drug stores).

Should your top become too stained, dirty or cut, sand with #000(150) or #0000(220) sandpaper

then wipe with a cloth
