HOW YOUR DISHWASHER CLEANS
GETTING STARTED
FEATURES OF YOUR NEW DISHWASHER
Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot water and detergent through the
spray arms against soiled surfaces
The dishwasher fills with water covering the filter area. Water is then pumped through
the multiple filter and spray arms. Seperated soil particles go down the drain as the
water is pumped out and replaced with clean water.
The number of water fills will vary with the cycle being used
1. Load dishwasher (See Preparing and loading dishes)
2. Add detergent (See fill detergent to the dispenser)
3. Add rinse aid, if needed (See fill rinse to dispenser)
4. Close door to latch.
5. Select desired CYCLE (See Cycle Chart). The indicator light above the pad will glow
when selected
6. Selected desired OPTIONS (See Energy Options) The indicator light abobe the pad
will glow when selected
7. Run hot water faucet nearest dishwasher until water is hot. Turn off water.
8. To start press START/CANCEL (See Start/Cancel pad).
Your dishwasher has the front control panel. Your selections will only beactivated when
the door is firmly closed.
NOTE
The dishwasher is programmed to remember your last cycle so you do not have to
reset each time. To start the dishwasher using the same cycle and options selected on
the previous wash, just press the Start/Cancel pad.
Wash Cycle Selections
Cycle times are approximate and will vary with options water is necessary to activate
dishwasher detergent and melt fatty food soils. An automatic sensor will check the
incoming water temperature and if it is not hot timer will be delayed for automatic
water heating in the main wash of all happens even when HI-TEMP WASH is selected

ADJUSTABLE UPPER RACK

The bottom rack is designed to load plates,
soup bow ls, plates,saucers and cookware.The
adjustable rack space wil lallow you to load
maximum 13 inch items.
Large items should be placed along the edge
so they do not interfere with the middle spray
arm rotation, and make sure they not prevent
the detergen tdispenser from opening. Large
items should be turned so that the inside faces
downward, and make sure these items do not
interfere with the lower spray arm rotation.
The fold-down tines in the bottom rack make i
teasy to load those extra large and hard-to-f it
items.The tines may be left up for norma l use
or folded down for more flexible loading.Fold
down for more space to load large pots or pans
The upper rack is designed for cups, glasses,
small plates, bowls and plastic items marked safe
etc. For best results, place the bowls, cups, glass-
es, sauce pans with soiled surface facing down or
toward the center. Tilt slightly for better drainage.
Make sure the loaded dishes do not
interfere with the rotation of the middle
spray arm, which is located at the bottom
of the upper rack. (Check this by rotating
the middle spray arm by hand.)

To add or remove items after wash cycle starts:
1 Open door slightly and wait a few seconds until wash action stops before completely
opening.
2 Add the item.
3 Close door firmly to latch and cycle will automatically resume.
CAUTION TO AVOID BURN INJURY:
Slightly open door and wait until spray arms and wash action stop. Hot water may
splash out of dishwasher. Failure to do so may result in injury.
Rinse aid greatly improves drying and reduces water spots and filming.Without rinse
aid your dishes and dishwasher interior will have excessive moisture. The Heated Dry
option will not perform as well without rinse aid.The rinse aid dispenser,located next to
the Detergent cup,automatically releases a measured amount of rinse aid during the
last rinse. If spotting and poor drying is a problem,increase the amount of rinse aid dis-
pensed by rotating the dial to a higher number.The dial is located under the dispenser
cap. If the rinse aid is low, the Rinse Aid light is illuminated a t
the beginning and end of the cycle indicating that it is time to refill.

FILLING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER
Your dishwasher is designed to use a liquid rinse aid. The use of rinse greatly improves
drying performance after the final rinse. Do not use a solid or bar-type rinse aid. Under
normal conditions, the rinse aid will last approximately one month, try to keep it full,
but do not over fill.
