tied dishwashing starts with HOT water. To get dishes clean and dry you need hot water. To help you get water of the proper temperature, your Hotpoint dishwasher has a WATER TEMP BOOST feature that automatically senses the temperature of the water in the wash cycle and hea~ it, if necessary, to the proper temperature.
What you can leave on dishes. And what you shouldn’t. You’ll find two detergent dispensers on the inside door of your dishwasher. Two, because some cycles use two washes. I 1 If this is your first dishwasher, or if you’re replacing a much older model, you may wonder how much preparation your dishes need. Actually very little. Pre-rinsing of normal food soils is not necessary. With common sense and a little practice you’ll soon know what foods to remove.
How to load your dishwasher How to load the ~PMCK The top rack is best for glasses, cups and saucers. Cups and glasses fit best along the sides. This is the place for dishwasher-safe plastics, too. Make sure small plastic items are lodged in tightly so they can’t fall onto the Calrod@ heating unit. Arrange stemware so that it cannot move easily. Don’t let the glasses touch each other. This is a random mixed load, the most common type you will have.
How to load the B~~M RACK Fit plates and saucers between the pins. Place items so that water and detergent from wash arm can reach soiled surfaces. Heavily soiled pots, pans and casseroles MUST be loaded in the bottom rack, facing down. Prop broiler pans and racks along the edge. -. Don’t Put flatware in the removable basket with handles up to protect your hands. Mix knives, forks and spoons so they don’t nest together. Distribute evenly.

Care and Cleaning USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS Built-in dishwashers often use an air gap. Keep it clean. An air gap is a plumbing device. It protects your dishwasher against water backing up into it if a drain clogs. The air gap is not a part of the dishwasher. And you may not even have one. Not all plumbing codes require air gaps. I TWO TYPES OFAIRGAPS [:ti.J’’l:!uL m= ,— I-=\-----:= _ .— — If you have an air gap, check it at least once a month. THE AIR GAP IS N~ PART OF YOUR DISHWASHER.
