DETERGENT
Proper detergents are very
important to achieve good
dishwashing results. Use
only fresh detergents de-
signed for automatic dishwashers. Review the detergent,
sectionof the Use and CareBook to become fully familiar
with detergent loading procedure.
HEATED DRYING –When the POWER SCRUB or
NORMAL SOIL buttons are pushed, the energy saver
dry selection is automatically cancelled and the drying
heateris energized to circulate heated air over thedishes
during the drying period for fast drying.
ENERGY SAVER–~ save energy, push the ENERGY
SAVER button AFTER either the POWER SCRUB or
NORMAL SOIL button has been pushed. This discon-
nects the drying heater and allows the dishes to dry by
their own heat over time. ‘I’his option is best used when
the dishes are washed at night and can stay in $hedish-
washer until the next morning. Natural drying time will
be reduced if you prop open the dishwasher door about
threeinches at the top after the cycle is complete.
Use of this option reduces the electrical energy used by
this model approximately 89%.
Estimated yearly savings, depending on your local electric
rates, areas follows:
:Make sure control dial is set at OFF position

SELECTTHE CYCLE
POWER SCRUB’ cycle is designed to remove DRIED-
ON and BAKED-ON soils. These soils will be removed
from utensils that are in good condition if you follow
loading and operating instructions carefully. It is es-
pecially important to load items with heavy, DRIED-ON
or BAKED-ON soils such as pots, pans and casseroles,
open end down in the lower rack facing directly toward
the lowerwash arm. In this position the items will receive
the most vigorous wash action for maximum soil removal.
As you would expect, severely BURNED-ON soils occa-
sionally may not be completely removed, especially if the
surfaceof the utensil is etched, pitted or otherwisein poor ~
condition. After washing items of this type, any remaining
soils should be removed by hand. Discoloration of utensils
raused by overheating during cooking cannot be removed
by thedishwasher. e
1NORMAL SOIL cycle is for most loads of everyday
c~ishes,slasses and cookware with light to heavy soils.
