Scrape away large pieces of food, bones, pits,
toothpicks, etc. The continuous filtered wash system
will remove the remaining food particles. Burned-on
foods should be loosened before loading. Empty liquids
from glasses and cups.
Foods such as mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon
juice and tomato based products may cause
discoloration of stainless steel and plastics if allowed to
sit for a long period of time. Unless the dishwasher
is to be operated at once it is best to rinse off these
food soils. 8 place settings standard loading pattern
