5. Operating Instructions

5.1. For Manual Pot and Pan Washing

1. Scrape excess food from pots and pans before washing.
2. Fill a sink or wash basin with warm water.
3. Add a small amount of Dawn Pro Manual Pot/PAN Dish Detergent to the water. A typical dilution is 1 ounce (approximately 2 tablespoons) per 10 gallons of water, or adjust as needed for soil load. The detergent will create suds.
4. Immerse pots, pans, and other kitchenware in the soapy water.
5. Using a sponge, brush, or scouring pad, scrub items thoroughly to remove food residues and grease.
6. Rinse items completely under clean, running water.
7. Allow items to air dry or dry with a clean cloth.

5.2. For General Dishwashing

1. Scrape excess food from dishes.
2. Apply a small amount of detergent directly onto a wet sponge or into a stream of running water as you fill the sink.
3. Wash dishes, glasses, and utensils with the soapy sponge or brush.
4. Rinse thoroughly under clean, running water.
5. Air dry or towel dry.

6. Maintenance and Storage

Proper storage ensures the longevity and effectiveness of the product.

• Storage Conditions: Store the detergent in its original container, tightly closed, in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures (freezing or excessive heat).
• Container Integrity: Ensure the cap is securely fastened after each use to prevent spills and maintain product quality.
• Shelf Life: While not typically expiring, for best performance, it is recommended to use the product within 2 years of purchase.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues while using Dawn Pro Manual Pot/PAN Dish Detergent, consider the following:

• Dishes not clean: Increase the amount of detergent used, ensure water is warm, or pre-soak heavily soiled items. Use a more abrasive scrubbing tool if necessary.
• Excessive suds: Reduce the amount of detergent used. This product is concentrated, and a small amount goes a long way.
• Skin irritation: If skin irritation occurs, rinse affected area with water. Consider wearing protective gloves during use. If irritation persists, consult a medical professional.
• Detergent appears cloudy or separated: This is uncommon. Ensure the product has been stored correctly (cool, dry place). If performance is affected, discontinue use.
