loosely attached food soil.
■Remove all food particles, bones,
toothpicks and excessive grease.
■Pre-treat items having burned-on,
baked-on or starchy soils.
■Load dishes in the dishwasher
racks so the insides of bowls,
pots and pans are facing the
spray arms.
■Avoid nesting and contact points
between dishes.
■Separate items of dissimilar
metals. Use care to not block
movement of the spray arms.
■Only wash household dishware
and kitchenware rated as
dishwasher-safe.
Refer to the Dishware Materials
section for more information
about dishware suitability.
