Hot Water
Toget dishes clean and dry you need hot water.To help
you get water of the propertemperature, your dishwasher
automatically heats the water in the wash cycle Higher
water temperature is needed to dissolve grease and activate
powder detergents. For good washing and drying, the
entering water must be at least120°E Toprevent dish
damage, inletwater should not exceed 15001::
Check your water temperature with a candy or meat
thermometer.
Turn on the hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher. Putthe
thermometer in a glass and let the water run continuously
intothe glass until the temperature stops rising.
Do net operate the dishwasher during or right after other
heavy use of hot water, such as for taundry or bathing.
Water Pressure
Water supply pressure must be between
15 and 120 pounds per square inch To
determine if you have enough pressure,
put a 1 quart container under a fully opened
hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher..
ifthe container flitsin tessthan g seconds,
water pressure is within an acceptable range
Be sure all other faucets are turned off during this test..
Water Conditions
In areas where water is very ;'lard(12 grains
or more), it may be necessary to install a
water softener to assure proper performance
from your dishwasher..Ifyou do not know the
hardness of your water supply, contact your
local water department or bring a sample into
your Sears store for testing°
Detergents
Only use detergents labeled for use in
automatic dishwashers NEVER use laundry
detergents, liquid soaps or other household
cleaners in your dishwasher. Some
detergents will be more effective with your
water conditions than other& Store detergent
in a cool, dry place.
DO NOT USE HAND DISH DETERGENT,
NOTE: Using a detergent that
is not specifically designed for ,_
dishwashers will cause the
dishwasher to fill with suds.
During operation, these suds
will spill out of the dishwasher
vents, covering the kitchen
floor and making the floor wet
Because so many detergent containers look alike, store the
dishwasher detergent in aseparate space from all other
cleaners. Show anyone who may use the dishwasher the
correct detergent and where it is stored.
While there wilt be no lasting damage to the dishwasher;
your dishes will not get clean using a dishwashing detergent
that is not formulated to work with dishwashers.
Rinse Agents
Rinse agents make water flow off dishes
quicker than usual This lessens water spotting
and makes drying faster, too.
Rinse agents come ineither liquid or solid
form. Your dishwasher's dispenser uses the
liquid form° J
Most utensils and dishware can be safely washed in
your dishwasher_However; some materials may require
special handling.
Aluminum: Some darkening may take place. Colored
aluminum may fade. Do not place aluminum items directly in
front of detergent dispensers where contact with undissolved
detergent could cause pitting, spotting or discoloration.
Cast Iron: Cast iron utensils should be handwashed.
China: Antique, hand-painted china and those with gold or
platinum rings should be handwashed
Crystal: Loadcardully in upper rack only. To prevent
chipping, items should not touch. Handwash delicate items..
Select AIR DRY option to air_drycrystal items

normally dishwasher safe. Flatware with dark decorative
shading and/or non-metallic handles should be handwashed.

Normal Sights and Sounds
. You'll see water vapor coming through the vents by
the door latch during drying and when water is being
pumped out.
• You'll hear occasional sounds while your dishwasher
is running:
• Hard food disposer shredding action.r
• Drain valve opening to pump water out.
• Timer control as cycle progresses_
• Detergent cup opening.
•Pump motor starting..
° The motor stops during drying°
NOTE: There is a delay between start up and water fitl,
so you will not hear any wash action right away.
Energy and Water Saving Tips
• Wash fult loads..
° Use your dishwasher during off-peak hours
• Deselect HEATED DRY option when you don't need
dry dishes in a hurry
° Don't prerinse normally soiled dishes.
• Load correctly to ensure good washing action.
How to Add a Dish During a Cycle
• Add dishes any time during RINSE & HOLD cycle.
• With otherwash cycles, you can add dishes at any
time BEFORE the detergent cup has opened..
Here's how to add a forgotten dish:
1. Push door latch to the left..Washing will stop.
2. Wait a few seconds until the water calms. Then open
the door
3. Add dishes you've forgotten.
Preparing Dishes for Washing
•Prerinsingof normal food soit is not necessary,
° Scrape off bones, seeds, skins, toothpicks and other
hard soils.
• Remove hard she!led vegetables, meat trimmings,
leafy vegetables and excessive amounts of oil
or grease..
• Remove foods with high acid content--they can
discolor stainless steel..
°
Remove large quantities of any food.
When using the POTS PANS cycle, less preparation
is required. This cycle can wash heavily-soiled dishes
and remove dried-on and baked-on soils from pots,
pans and casseroles. However, items with burned-on
soils may not come clean.
You'll find two detergent
dispensers on the inside
door of your dishwasher.
Do not add detergent
until you are ready to
start the cycle., Use fresh
detergent.
The dispenser will
automatically release
detergent at the correct
times during the cycle.
Always close the main cup tightly.

a clicking sound. It is not necessary
to overtighten.

dispenser after it has been closed,

glasses, cups and saucers°
Cups and glasses fit best
along the sides° This is
also the place for
dishwasher-safe plastics
Make sure small plastic
items are lodged in tightly
so they can't fall onto the
heating unit. Arrange
stemware so that it cannot
move easily.. Don't let the glasses touch each other.

racks should go in the
lower rack along the edge
Load platters, pots and
bowls along the sides,

lower rack during the wash
and rinse portions of the
cycle. Don't block it or
load tall things next to it,
