Normal Operating Sounds This dishwasher does not sound like most dishwashers--IT'S QUIETER. Your Precision Direct Wash System® dishwasher uses energy efficient motors for the wash and drain portions of the cycle you select. Each cycle has a series of water fills and drains for washing and rinsing dishes. As each cycle begins, you may-or may nothear the drain motor. The next sound you will hear is the splashing water as it enters the tub. Then the lower arm rotates and circulates water. This is followed by a pause and a slightly different sound as the upper arms spray water. If you listen closely, you will hear the change in sound as the wash action switches from one arm to the other. PLEASE BE ADVISED: If you compare this dishwasher to previous models, you may be surprised at what you DON'T hear! Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot water and detergent through the spray arms against soiled surfaces. Each cycle begins with a pre-drain. Next, the dishwasher fills with water covering the filter area. Water is then pumped through the filter and spray arms. 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. Features may vary by series.

Wash Cycle Selections Cycle times are approximate and will vary with options selected. Hot 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 enough, the timer will be delayed for automatic water heating in the main wash of all cycles. This happens even when HI-TEMP WASH option has not been selected. When HI-TEMP WASH is selected, an even higher temperature will be guaranteed to handle heavier soil loads.

This increase in water temperature helps dishwasher detergent remove food grease and soil from dishes more effectively and aids in drying. HI-TEMP WASH option can be used with all cycles except RINSE ONLY. HI-TEMP WASH is automatically provided when HEAVY WASH cycle is selected. When HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, the the pad will come on and remain on until end turn off the HI-TEMP WASH option, press the second time. The light above the pad will turn light above of cycle. To pad a off. Sanitize Option To sanitize your dishes and glassware, select the SANITIZE option. When selected, the light above the pad will come on and remain on until end of cycle. The water temperature in the final rinse will be raised to 155°F (68°C) and will maintain that temperature for 9 minutes. This option is available in Heavy and Normal Wash cycles. Only these sanitization cycles have been designed to meet NSF requirements. The cycle time will be extended until the proper water temperature is reached. Washing action will continue during the water heating delay. For best results, the incoming water temperature should be at least 120°F (49°C). The sanitize criteria may not be satisfied if there is an interruption of the cycle, power failure or if the incoming water temperature is below 120°F (49°C). To turn off the SANITIZE option, press the pad a second time. The light above the pad will turn off. The HEAT DRY option in combination with rinse aid will enhance drying performance. The energy required to use the HEAT DRY option costs pennies per cycle. You may choose not to select the HEAT DRY option; however you will have items in your dish load that will not be completely dry at the end of the cycle. Opening the door longer than one minute during the dry cycle cancels the selected dry program. Delay Start The DELAY START option allows you to automatically delay starting your dishwasher from 1-10, 1-24 or 2-4-6 hours depending on your model. On models with 1-10 or 1-24 hour delay, press the DELAY START pad until the desired delay time shows in the STATUS window. A light will come on indicating the delay start hours and will remain on until cycle starts. On models with 2-4-6 hour delay, press the pad once for a 2 hour delay, twice for 4 hours and three times for 6 hours. A light will come on indicating the delay start hours and will remain on until cycle starts. To cancel the DELAY START option and begin the cycle before the delay period is over, press the START/CANCEL pad. To Cancel a Cycle You can cancel a cycle anytime during the cycle. Press START/CANCEL pad and the dishwasher will start a 90 second drain. At the end of the drain, select the desired cycle. Status Indicator Lights The SENSING light (some models) comes on at the beginning of the selected cycle and will remain on until the end of the sensing sequence. Status Window The STATUS window, available on some models, indicates the following activity: The WASHING light (some models) comes on at the beginning of cycle and remains on until the end of the main wash. o_ The DRYING light (some models) indicates the drying portion of the cycle. The light will come on when either drying option is selected. When the SANITIZE option is selected, the SANITIZED light will glow when the SANITIZE cycle is finished. If the dishwasher did not properly sanitize the dishes, the light will not come on. This can happen if the cycle is interrupted. The light will remain on until the door is opened. The time remaining could suddenly increase or drop several minutes. This means the Smart Sensor has checked the soil level and determined if additional water fills are needed or if water fills can be deleted. The RINSING AGENT LOW light (some models) comes on at the end of a cleaning cycle when the rinse agent reservoir is low. The light will remain on through 5 successive cycles or until the reservoir is filled. The CLEAN light (some models) will come on at end of cycle and remain on until door is opened. Child Lock Controls To prevent children from accidently changing the dishwasher cycle or starting the dishwasher, lock the dishwasher controls by pressing and releasing the RINSE ONLY pad (some models) orthe NO HEAT DRY pad (some models) for 3 seconds while the door is latched.

Dish Preparation Scrape away large pieces of food, bones, pits, toothpicks, etc. The continuous filtered wash system will remove remaining food particles. Burned-on foods should be loosened before loading. Empty liquids from glasses and cups. Foods such as mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice and tomato based products may cause discoloration of stainless steel and plastics if allowed to sit for a long period of time. Unless the dishwasher is to be operated at once, it is best to rinse off these food soils. • Load racks so that large items do not preventthe detergent dispenser from opening. • Check manufacturer's recommendations washing items in question. If the dishwasher drains into a food before p. 10 place settings standard disposeris completelyempty before starting dishwasher. disposer, be sure Loading loading pattern __ the Top Rack Features and appearance of racks and silverware basket may vary from your model. The upper rack is designed for flexibility in loading a wide variety of items including cups, glasses, stemware, small plates, bowls, etc. Load glasses in top rack. Damage may occur if placed in bottom rack. Load plastic items in top rack only. Melting may occur if placed in bottom rack. Load items with open ends facing down for better cleaning and draining. Damage may occur if delicate items touch each other during dishwasher operation. Long-handled knives and utensils can be placed in top rack. Be sure nothing protrudes through the bottom of the rack to block rotation of middle spray arm. 12 place settings standard loading pattern Some models have a fold-down cup shelf or a cup shelf/ stemware holder. They can be used to load two levels of cups, juice glasses, and other short items. Stagger items on upper level so that water can reach all inside surfaces. Fold up to load tall glasses. Bowl Tines The bowl tines offer the ultimate in flexibility. When closed, load with saucers or small dishes. Open halfway and it is perfect for small casseroles. Open completely for those hard to fit items such as coffee pots, food processors, etc. As you load your dishwasher, you will find many other ways to use this unique feature. Upper Rack Option TOP RACK - option can be used to wash a wide assortment of items when you don't have a full load. Also, when the upper rack fills up with glasses and the lower rack is still empty, you don't have to wait anymore for clean glasses. Adjustable Upper Rack (available on select models) To raise the upper rack, refer to the figure below. A) Lift the rack straight upward. B) Pull rack slightly forward as the adjustable mechanism locks into place. 10 place settings standard loading pattern To lower the upper rack, lift the rack straight upward and push rack slightly towards the rear of the dishwasher as it is lowered. Loading the Bottom Rack Features and appearance of racks and silverware basket may vary from your model. The lower rack is best for plates, saucers, bowls, and cookware. Large items should be placed along the edge so they do not block the spray arm rotation. For best results, place bowls, casseroles, and sauce pans with soiled surface facing down or toward the center. Tilt slightly for better drainage. Make sure tall items do not block spray arm rotation. Be sure pan handles do not protrude through the bottom of the rack and block the spray arm rotation. 12 place settings standard loading pattern on select models (Fold Down Tines) Use suggested loading patterns, as shown, to increase washability of your silverware. Be sure nothing protrudes through bottom of basket or rack to block the spray arm. 12 place settings standard loading pattern select models (Fixed Tines) on Do not mix silver and stainless to avoid damaging the silver finish. The silverware basket can be separated and placed in several locations in the bottom rack. Load silverware in all sections or just one, depending on your load. When covers are up, mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing up and some down to avoid nesting. Water spray cannot reach nested items. Fold-down Tines (available select models) The fold-down tines in the lower rack make easy loading for those extra large and hard-to-fit items. The tines may be left up for normal use or folded down for more flexible loading. Fold down for more space to load large pots or pans. Loading the Silverware Basket Adding a Dish To add or remove items after wash cycle starts: ° Unlatch door and wait a few seconds until wash action stops before opening. • Add the item and wait a few seconds to allow cold air to slowly expand inside dishwasher. • Close door firmly to latch and resume cycle. Features and appearance of racks and silverware basket may vary from your model. Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom rack or take the basket out for loading on a counter or table. Place small items like baby bottle caps, jar lids, corn cob holders, etc., in a covered section. Close the cover to hold small items in place. Load sharp items (knives, skewers, etc.) pointing down. Failure to do so may result in injury. Filling the Detergent Dispenser How much Detergent to use The detergent dispenser has one covered and one uncovered cup. Detergent in the uncovered cup falls into the dishwasher when the door is closed. The covered cup opens automatically to release detergent. The amount of detergent to use depends on the water hardness. Water hardness is measured in grains per gallon. Using too little detergent can result in poor cleaning and hard water filming or spotting. Using too much detergent in soft water can cause a permanent film called etching. Your local water company, water softener company or county extension agent can tell you the water hardness in your area. • Useonly fresh automaticdishwashing detergent. Other detergents will cause oversudsing. • When using automaticdishwashing detergent tabs, place one tab in main wash cup and close. • Add detergent just before starting cycle. • Store detergent in a cool, dry location. Moist or caked detergent will not dissolve properly. _Cover Main Wash Cup Cover Latch The use of industrial grade detergent can damage the heating coil and other parts of the dishwasher leading to damage to the unit and surrounding property. Use only household grade automatic dishwasher detergents.

Unlatch the door, open slowly and add detergent to botto t b o tolat € n t s hw he w o ro e: ..................................................................... Rinse Aid Water Pressure Rinse aid greatly improves drying and reduces water spots and filming. Water "sheets" off dishes rather than forming water droplets that cling and leave spots. The hot water line to dishwasher must provide water pressure between 20 and 120 psi. A dispenser, located next to the detergent cup, automatically releases a measured amount of rinse aid during the last rinse. If spotting and poor drying are problems, increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed by rotating the dial to a higher number. The dial is located under the dispenser cap. The indicator will be dark when full and will show clear when it is time to refill. On models with a STATUS window, LO will appear at the end of the cycle indicating that it is time to refill. starting dishwasher. To add liquid rinse aid, turn dispenser cap 1/4 turn counterclockwise and lift out. Pour in rinse aid until liquid touches the indicated fill level. Replace cap. Do not overfill since this can cause oversudsing. Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth. Low water pressure may occur when laundry or showers are in operation. Wait until water use is reduced before Water Temperature Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and drying results. Water entering dishwasher should be at least 120°F (49°C) to give satisfactory results. To check water temperature entering dishwasher: • Turn on hot water faucet nearest dishwasher for several minutes to clear cool water from pipes. • Hold a candy or meat thermometer in stream of water to check the temperature. • If temperature is below 120°F (49°C), have a qualified person raise the hot water heater thermostat setting. The dispenser holds enough for 35 to 140 washes, depending on setting. Before starting a cycle, run hot water to clear cool water from pipe. DispenserOpening Indicator RINSE AID The HEAT DRY option in combination with rinse aid will enhance drying performance. The energy required to use the HEAT DRY option costs pennies per cycle. You may choose not to select the HEAT DRY option; however you will have items in your dish load that will not be completely dry at the end of the cycle. Care of Drain Air Gap Burn Hazard Allow heating element to cool before cleaning the interior. Failure to do so can result in burns. Outside--Occasionally If a drain air gap was installed for your built-in dishwasher, check to make sure it is clean so the dishwasher will drain properly. A drain air gap is usually mounted on countertop and can be inspected by removing the cover. This is not part of your dishwasher and is not covered by warranty. wipe with a mild Property nonabrasive detergent and water. Rinse and dry. Models with Stainless Steel Door-- Clean outer door with warm soapy water and a dishcloth or sponge. Rinse with clean water and a dry cloth. Do not use harsh cleaners. Damage Hazard Freezing temperatures may cause water lines to rupture. Be sure all supply lines to and circulating lines within dishwasher are protected. Failure to do so could result in property damage. Inside--The inside of the dishwasher is self-cleaning with normal use. If needed, clean around the tub gasket area with a damp cloth. The filter is self-cleaning. A glass trap located in the center of the filter is designed to collect pieces of broken glass, straws, bones and pits. To remove items in glass trap, grasp handle, lift out, empty and replace. ® Winterizing A dishwasher left in an unheated place should be protected from freezing. Have a qualified person do the following: To Disconnect . Service: Turn off electrical power to the dishwasher at the supply source by removing fuses or tripping circuit breaker. 2. Shut off water supply. 3. Place a pan under the inlet valve. Disconnect water line from inlet valve and drain into pan. 4. Disconnect drain line from pump and drain water into pan. Hard water may cause lime deposit buildup on the interior of the dishwasher. For cleaning instructions see "Removing Spots and Film" section. To Restore Overfill 2. Turn on water and electrical power supply. Protector--keeps dishwasher from overfilling and is located in the left front corner of the tub. * Clean occasionally with household cleaner containing vinegar or bleach to dissolve any buildup. * Overfill Protector should move up and down freely about one inch. If it does not move, lift and clean underneath. Service: 1. Reconnect the water, drain, and electrical power supply. 3. Fill both detergent cups and run dishwasher through a HEAVY WASH cycle. 4. Check connections to make sure they do not leak. See Installation Instructions for more details on € e n res e o a er....................... Before calling for service, review this list. It may save you both time and expense. This list includes common experiences that are not the result of defective workmanship or material in your dishwasher.
