3SELECTTHE CYCLE
=P~WER SCRUB” cycle is designed to remove DRIED-
aand BAKED-ON soils. These soils will be removed
utensils that are in good condition if you follow
loading and operating instructions carefully. It is es.
a
Ily important to load items with heavy, DRIED-ON
KED-ON soils such as pots, pans and casseroles,
open end down in the lower rack facing directly toward
the lower wash arm. In this position the items will receive
the most vigorous wash action for maximum soil removal.
As you would expect, severely BURNED-ON soils occa-
sionally may not be completely removed, especially if the
surface of the utensil is etched, pitted or otherwise in poor
condition. After washing items of this type, any remaining
soils should be removed by hand. Discoloration of utensils
caused by overheating during cooking cannot be removed
by the dishwasher.
NORMAL SOIL cycle is for most loads of everyday
dishes,glassesandcookwarewithlighttoheavysoils.
