Proper Loading Preparation for loading It is not necessary to rinse dishes before putting them into the dishwasher. Just remove large pieces and quantities of food and bones. The filtering system helps keep food parti- cles out of the wash water. Small particles are flushed away as water is pumped out.
Proper Loading Continued Bottom rack loading Items with cooked-on or dried-on food should be loaded in the bottom rack, with soiled surfaces facing inward to the spray. Mixed load l Make sure pot handles and other items do not stop rotation of the lower spray arm.
Adding Detergent And Rinse Aid See phosphorus content on product labels. What kind of detergent to use Use automatic dishwasher detergent only. Other detergents are too mild and much too sudsy to work in the dishwasher. Different brands of dishwasher detergent have different amounts of phosphorus for softening water.
