For best results
Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot, clean water and detergent against
soiled surfaces of dishes. When a cycle is started, the dishwasher fills with water to a level
slightly above the heating element. This water is constantly pumped through the rotating
spray arm and center wash tower onto the dishes. Soiled water is pumped out and replaced
with clean water during a cycle. The number of times depends on the cycle being used.
Loud dishes so soiled surfaces face the powerful spray from rotating arm and center
wash tower.
Preparing the load for washing
It is not necessary to rinse dishes before putting them into the
dishwasher. Just remove large pieces and quantities of food
and bones. Foods that are burned onto utensils (not just cooked
on] may be difficult to remove. Some hand washing may be
necessary
Water must be hot
140 F
Cl
For best cleaning and drying results, water should be at least
140-F (60 C].
1. Turn on hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher. Let water run
until It ISas hot as possible
2. Hold a candy or meat thermometer in the stream of hot water
to measure the temperature
3. If the temperature is too low, have a qualified person raise
the water heater thermostat setting
Check Water
Temperature
Quiet operating tips
To avoid thumping and clattering noises during operation:
l Make sure lightweight load items are secured in the rack.
l Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets, etc. do not touch interior walls or
intlerfere with the spray arm rotation and center wash tower extension.
l Load dishes so they don’t touch one another.
NOTE: Keep sink drain plugs inserted during dishwasher operation to prevent noise transfer
through drains.

Proper loading
Always load dishes so soiled surfaces are reached by spray from rotating arm and center
wash tower. Water must be able to drain off completely for best results. Be careful to separate
Items so spray can reach all surfaces.
Top rack loading
(. UP AND GLASS LOAD
MIXED LOAD
l Load plastic items only in the top rack
Only plastic items marked “Dishwasher
Safe” are recommended.

Adding detergent
The kind and amount of dishwasher detergent you use IS an Important part of
getting L’our dishes clean Read this sectlon carefully
Use automatic dish-
washer detergent only.
Other detergents are
too mild and much too
sudsy to work in the
dishwasher.
Different brands of
dishwasher detergent
have different amounts
of phosphorus. Phos-
phorus softens water and
helps prevent water
spots on dishes
If water is hard and
phosphorus content IS
low (6.04, or less], you
may need to use more
detergent or use a brand
with a higher phosphorus
content (8.7% or higher)
Do not add detergent
until you are ready to
wash. Fresh automatic
dishwasher detergent
is necessary for best
washing results. Store
detergent tightly closed
In a cool dry place
I
How much detergent to use
The amount ot detergent to use
depends on t’le hardness of your

Energy saving tips
You can help save energy if you:
1. Wash full loads. Runnrng o half-filled dish-
washer uses the same amount of electrrcity
and hot water as a fully loaded machine
3. Air dry dishes when you don’t need a rapid
drying cycle. Allow longer drying times
[overnight).
2.
4.
5.
6.
7.
Use the LIGHT WASH Cycle for moderately
soiled loads. It uses less hot water and energy
than NORMAL WASH.
Load correctly for best washing results. In-
correct loading may cause poor washing
and the need to rewash all or part of the
load
Don’t pre-rinse normally soiled dishes. Se-
lect the correct cycle for the load and use
the recommended amount of detergent for
good washing results without hand rinsing.
Use your dishwasher during off-peak hours.
Local utillties recommend this to ovoid
heavy usage of energy at certain times of
dav
Kitchen cleanup can be done quickly and
efficiently through the use of yourdishwasher.
Most appliance parts that can fit in the dish-
washer can be cleaned by it. Burned-on soil,
however, should be cleaned by hand.

Special tips on dishwasher use
Remember, use your dishwasher only for the job it was designed to do.
Some items are not dishwasher safe or may require special care.
Read these special tips for the following items:
.~UIlIinUIn: Aluminum loses its bright, shiny appearance and darkens in color due to minerals in
the water and the alkalinity of the dishwasher detergent. Colored aluminum may fade.
TIPS: If washed in the dishwasher avoid placing directly in front of detergent dispenser where
it could be sprinkled with undissolved detergent, causing spotting, pitting, and discoloration.
Follow utensil manufacturers’ cleaning instructions.
China: Hand-painted, metal-trimmed, and antique china fade due to high water temperatures
and alkaline detergent solution In the dishwasher. NOTE: Delicate, antique items should not be
washed in the dishwasher.
TIPS: Load china carefully. Do not allow pieces to touch each other. Test one piece by washing it
daily in the dishwasher for several weeks. Then compare it with the rest of the set to see if colors
have changed
Crystal and decorative glasses: Crystal can break from sudden exposure to high water
temperature. Metal trim and colorful decoration on glass will fade in time when washed in the
dishwasher NOTE: Delicate, antique items should not be washed in the dishwasher.
TIPS: Load crystal carefully in top rack only. Be sure to load a few larger items in the bottom rack
f0 reduce amount of force of water spray reaching glassware from lower spray arm. Use the
shortest cyc:le
Flafiyare: Salty and acidrc foods may tarnish silver and Stainless flatware if allowed to remain On
the utensils. A film may form on sterling silver and silver plate items washed in a dishwasher. This film is
caused by a redction of silver with chlorine in the detergent. Gold flatware is not dishwasher safe.
The adhesive used in some flatware with hollow handles is not heat resistant, Causing the handles to
come off in the dishwasher. Wash by hand.
Tips: Rinse fiat-ware as soon as possible, especially if it is not to be washed right away. Dishwasher
detergent Flay remove antique finishes, Wash by hand.Tarnish and film build-up can be removed
with silver polish.
Cast irOn utensils: The seasoned finish will be removed in the dishwasher. Rusting will result.
Tips: Wash by hand To re-season, coat with unsalted fat and heat in a slow oven for an hour or two.
Plastics: M my plastics WIII have “Dishwasher Safe” written on them. SOme plaStiCS are heat
sensitive and rrzy melt or warp.
TIPS: If rn ooubt, try one prece. Place in upper rack only. AIR DRY option provides additional
protectron
Non-stick finish utensils: Most can be washed In the dishwasher.
TIPS: Follov. manufacturers’ suggestions.
Wood: Many wooden items will crack and warp or lose their finish.
TIPS: Do not wash cutting boards, wooden salad bowls or knives with wooden handles in the
dishwasher.
Pewter or pewter-like materials: May streak, discolor, and pit.
TIPS: To kec,o pewter at its very best, hand wash with mild detergent.
Dishwasher care & cleaning:
Exterior: Regular use of a soft damp cloth or sponge and Cl mild detergent is alt that is necessary, in
mOSt cases, to keep the outside of your dishwasher nice looking and clean.
Interior: Hard water minerals may cause a white film to build-up on the inside surfaces,especialfy just
beneath the door area. Wear rubber gloves when cleaning the dishwasher interior, Do not use any
type of cleanser other than dishwasher detergent because it may cause foaming or sudsing.
Remove and Clean the OVerflOW protector float whenever the inside of the dishwasher is cleaned,
Replace the floot after cleaning. Never try to run the dishwasher without the float in place. Flooding
could occur.

of the house The air gap IS usually located above the sink
or 0’3 the top of the counter near the drshwasher to prevent
the possibrl~ly of water backrng up from the drain into the
drshwcsher due to a plugged drain The drain air gap IS
NOT a part of the drshwasher and IS NOT covered by the
dishwasher warranty The dram air gap should be kept
clear to insure proper draining of the dishwasher

H you need service or assistance,
we suggest you follow these five steps:
I. Before calling for assistance...
Performance problems often result from little
things you can find and fix yourself without tools
of any kind.
If your dishwasher will not run, or stops during
a cycle:
l Is the door tightly closed and securely
latched?
l Has the cycle been correctly set (and the
Control Knob pulled out]?
l Is the water turned on?
l Have you checked your home’s main fuses or
circuit breaker box?
l Is the dishwasher wired into a live circuit with
the proper voltage?
l If the motor has stopped because of an over-
load, it will automatically reset itself within a
few minutes. If the motor does not start, call for
service.
If water remains in the dishwasher:
l Has the cycle completed?
l A small amount of remaining water is normal
l Is drain air gap clogged?
If detergent remains in the covered detergent
cup:
l Is the bottom rack in backwards? (The rack
bumpers should be at the front.)
l Isthe dishwasher detergent fresh and dry with-
out lumps?
l Is the cycle completed?
