It is not recommended to rinse dirty dishes before placing them in the dishwasher. For the life cycle of the machine, it is better to put everything dirty in the dishwasher. The grease on the dirty dishes is the lubrication for the pump in the machine.
The average amount used is about 25 grams of dishwashing detergent. It is recommended to follow the advice on the packaging.

Dishware Preparation: - Remove large food particles, bones, seeds, toothpicks, and excessive grease from the dishes. - Pre-treat items with burned-on, baked-on, or starchy soils if necessary. - Check the dishwasher suitability of each item. Some materials may require hand-washing. 2. Loading the Dishwasher: - Load only dishwasher-safe items into the dishwasher. - Place dishes in the racks with the insides of bowls, pots, and pans facing the spray arms. - Avoid nesting and contact points between dishes. - Separate items of dissimilar metals to prevent contact. 3. Loading the Top Rack: - Ensure that items do not protrude through the bottom of the racks and block the spray arms. - Follow the recommended 10 or 12 place load patterns for the top rack. - Flip down the top rack flip tines to make loading easier if needed. - Push the top rack into the dishwasher until it stops against the back of the tub. 4.
