Loading your dishwasher

Do not pre-wash items with loosely attached soiling. Remove large food particles, bones, seeds, toothpicks, and exces-
sive grease. Items with burned-on, baked-on or starchy soils may require pre-treatment.
Load only dishwasher-safe items into the dishwasher. Load dishes in the dishwasher racks so the insides of bowls, pots,
and pans face downward. Avoid nesting and contact points between dishes. Separate items of dissimilar metals.
