Good dishwashing starts with HOT water. You can help prevent spotting with a rinse agent. To get dishes clean and dry you need hot water. To help you get water of the proper temperature, your Hotpoint dishwasher automatically senses the temperature of the water in the wash cycle and heats it, if necessary, to the proper temperature. For good washing and drying, the entering water must be at least 120°F.
What you can leave on dishes. And what you shouIdn7t. ‘f your detergent gets old or iumpy, throw it away. It won’t wash well. Old detergent loses its power. Lumpy detergent often won’t dissolve. You’ll find two detergent dis~ensers on the inside door of your dishwasher. Two, because some cycles use two washes. If this is your first dishwasher, or if you’re replacing a much older model, you may wonder how much pre-preparation your dishes need. Actually very little.
Loaded right, dishes get cleaner. /1 l\ DO NOT BLOCK THIS AREA OR LOAD TALL. I“HINGS NEXT TO IT. . . . .— - — .— — This is a random mixed load, the most common type you will have. WATCH OUT FOR THIS. The wash tower rises through the center of the bottom rack during the was~ and rinse portions of the cycle. Don’t block it or load tall things next to it. Also, be careful not to let portion of an item extend through the bottom rack or the silverware basket, such as knives, skewers or pot handles.
How to load the BOTTOM RACK. Fit plates and saucers between the pins. Load platters, pots, pans and bowls along the sides, in corners or in the back. Heavily soiled pots, pans and casseroles MUST be loaded in the bottom rack, facing down. Prop the broiler pan and rack along the edge, tilted toward the center. Shallow items may be angled provided the lower side does not shield the soiled surface inside from the water, Put flatware in the removable silverware basket.
