IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

For your Safety

• Use your dishwasher only as instructed in

this Use and Care Manual.

• This Manual does not cover every possible

condition and situation that may occur.

Use common sense and caution when

installing, operating and maintaining any

appliance.

• DISHWASHER MUST BE ELECTRICALLY

GROUNDED. Read the Installation

Instructions for details.

• The dishwasher is designed to operate on

regular house current (120V, 60Hz). Use

a circuit equipped with a 15 ampere fuse

or circuit breaker. Use a 20 ampere fuse

if dishwasher is connected with a food

disposer.

WARNING

Please read all instructions before using this

dishwasher.

• Do no operate dishwasher unless all

enclosure panels are in their proper place.

• To avoid entrapment and/or suffocation,

remove door or door latch mechanism from

any dishwasher that is discarded or not in

use.

• Keep young children and infants away from

dishwasher when it is operating.

• Do not let children abuse, sit, stand or play

on door or racks of a dishwasher.

• Use only detergents and rinse agents

recommended for use in a dishwasher.

• Store dishwasher detergent and rinse

agents out of the reach of children.

• Do not wash plastic items unless marked:

“Dishwasher Safe” or equivalent. Check

with manufacturer for recommendations,

if not marked. Items that are not marked

dishwasher safe may melt and create a

potential fi re hazard.

• Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher

before servicing.

• If the dishwasher drains into a food

disposer, make sure disposer is completely

empty before running dishwasher.

• Repairs should be done by a qualifi ed

technician

• Do not tamper with controls.

• Do not touch the heating element during or

immediately after use.

• Use care unloading the dishwasher.

Contents may be hot to the touch

immediately after the end of cycle.

• Water vapor from the vent may be hot to

the touch. Use care and do not let small

children play around or touch the vent area

of the dishwasher.

• When loading items to be washed:

• Locate sharp items and knives so that

they are not likely to damage the door

seal or tub.

• Load sharp items and knives with the

handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type

injuries.

• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas

may be produced in a hot water system

that has not been used for 2 weeks or

more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If

Your Tower Wash System® dishwasher uses a

proven single, rotating arm with a telescoping

set of wash jets for targeting the upper rack.

Cycles begin with a drain to remove liquid

that may have been added during loading.

Following that, you may hear a series of

wash segments for washing and later rinsing.

These wash segments start with the addition

of water, then follow by the spraying of dishes

and then end by draining the wash or rinse

fl uid. Other actions will take place during the

cycle that you will not be able to hear. These

include addition of detergent, heating of the

fl uid, dispensing of rinse agent, and pulsed

heating of the dishware after the fi nal drain to

improve drying.

Getting Started

1. Load Dishwasher (See Preparing and

Loading Dishes).

2. Add detergent (See Dishwasher

Dispenser & Detergents).

3. Add Rinse Aid (See Rinse Aid).

4. Turn dial clockwise to select cycle (See

Wash Cycle Selection).

5. Select desired OPTION (See Energy

Options).

6. Run hot water faucet nearest

dishwasher until water is hot. Turn water off.

7. To start, close door to latch.

NOTE

ë

Wash Cycle Selection

Heavy Wash

For heavily soiled dishware, pots, pans,

casserole and dinnerware with dried-on or

baked-on soils:

• Turn dial to HEAVY WASH.

• Select desired heating option (heat dry/

air dry).

Normal Wash

For daily, regular use to completely wash and

dry up to a full load of dishes and silverware:

• Turn dial to NORMAL WASH

• Select desired heating option (heat

dry/air dry).

Drying/Plate Warmer

For adding an additional dry period to a cycle to

obtain warm, dry dishes:

• Ensure the heat dry option is still selected.

• Within 15 mins after cycle completion,

open the door slightly, rotate the knob

clockwise to “DRYING/PLATE WARMER”,

and close the door.

• For the best drying: While the door is open

briefl y to re-set the timer gently move the

racks in and out an inch or two to spill out

some of the water that may be trapped in

recessed areas of dishware.

Water Heating Delay

This dishwasher is equipped with a thermostat

to ensure that the water is heated to the proper

temperature for optimal cleaning and drying

results. The knob/timer on the dishwasher

may pause at the position labeled “water

heating”. The dishwasher is not stuck here,

but is simply heating the water to the proper

temperature before advancing. A minimum

water temperature of 1200F is recommended to

minimize this water heating delay.

Recommended Cycle

The Normal cycle along with the heated

dry option together provide the best all

around performance. This cycle selection is

recommended for everyday use and is suitable

for a large range of both dish load sizes and

food quantities remaining on those dishes.

4

Energy Options

The toggle switch provided to choose between

heat dry and air dry affects heater operation

but only during the drying portion of the cycle.

The selection may be made at any time prior

to or during the cycle. It affects only the

portion of the cycle’s drying that follows the

selection. With either option, you may see

water vapor coming from the vent near the top

of the door - this is normal.

Heat Dry Option

Selecting the Heat Dry option will cause the

heating element to be on during the drying

portion of the cycle.

The Heat Dry option in combination with rinse

aid will improve drying results. The energy

to use Heat Dry is greater than if Air Dry is

selected but costs just pennies per cycle.

Turning off the Heat Dry option, will result in

more of the dish load being wet at the end of

the cycle.

Air Dry Option

Selecting the Air Dry option reduces energy

use and lowers costs by preventing the heating

element from coming on during the drying

portion of the cycle.

With this option drying may be improved by

using rinse aid and opening the door slightly

immediately after the cycle is complete.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Using the Timer

The timer advances to complete the portion

of the cycle between the dial position and

OFF. Started at Heavy Wash it will run through

Heavy, Normal and Dry. Set at Normal Wash it

will run Normal and Dry, and so on.

• It is best to have the door unlatched while

setting the timer.

• The timer dial should always be advanced

in the clockwise direction.

• 4 positions are available for use, the OFF

position and the start positions for Heavy

Wash, Normal Wash and Drying.

• Other stops on the dial path are to allow

the unit functions to be quickly checked

during production but are of no practical

use for washing or drying dishes in the

home.

• The “Water Heating” text is to mark the

position where the dial may pause while

temperature is increased to make the wash

effective - it is not a location for starting

any cycle.

• The Heavy and Normal cycles start with a

drain, then a fi ll, then spraying - you may

not be able to hear that it has started at

fi rst.

PREPARING AND LOADING DISHES

Dish Preparation

Prior to loading dishware into the dishwasher:

Scrape away large pieces of food, bones, pits,

toothpicks, etc. Loosen burned-on foods.

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

before loading the dishwasher.

This unit uses very little water. Generally,

running the cycle - even with half of a load

is more economical than rinsing by hand and

waiting to run the unit when a full load is

ready to wash.

• If the dishwasher drains into a Food

Disposer, be sure disposer is

completely empty before starting

dishwasher.

Loading the Top Rack

Features and appearance of racks and

silverware basket may vary from your model.

The top rack is designed for cups, glasses,

small plates, saucers and bowls.

Load glasses in top rack for better support.

Damage may occur if placed in bottom rack.

Load plastic items in top rack only. Melting

may occur if placed in bottom rack.

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 extension. For best results,

place bowls, casseroles, and sauce pans with

soiled surface facing down and toward the

center. Tilt items slightly for better drainage.

Make sure tall items will not block the

detergent dispenser’s door.

Be sure pan handles do not protrude through

the bottom of the rack and block the spray

arm rotation.

Do not

block tower

protector

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.

Loading the Dishwasher

• Load racks so that large items do not

block the detergent dispenser door from

opening.

• Check manufacturer’s recommendations

before washing items in question.

How much Detergent to use

The amount of detergent to use depends on

the water hardness, which is measured in

grains per gallon. Using too little detergent

can result in poor cleaning and hard water

fi lming or spotting. Using too much detergent

in soft water can cause etching, a permanent

surface damage that looks like a fi lm on the

dishware. Your local water company, water

softener company or county extension agent

can tell you the water hardness in your area.

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

later automatically to release detergent

during the main wash.

• Use only fresh automatic dishwashing

detergent. Other detergents may cause

oversudsing.

• When using automatic dishwashing

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

wash effectively and may not dissolve

properly.

Filing the Detergent Dispenser

If the cover is closed on the Main Wash Cup

open by pressing the Cover Latch.

CAUTION

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.

PREPARING AND LOADING DISHES

CAUTION

Load sharp items (knives, skewers, etc.)

pointing down.

Failure to do so may result in injury.

Features and appearance of racks and

silverware basket may vary from your model.

Mix spoons, forks and knives to prevent

nesting. Mixing items gives better cleaning

and drying.

For safety, load sharp knives and forks with

handles up.

Be sure nothing protrudes through bottom of

basket or rack to block the spray arm.

To avoid damaging the silver fi nish,

do not mix silver and stainless

Note: For very hard water, detergent alone may not be enough. A water softener is

recommended to reduce detergent use and to improve water quality and dishwashing

performance. Otherwise, try adding more detergent at the beginning of the main wash portion

of the cycle. As a rule, use 1 teaspoon for each grain above 12. Unlatch the door, open slowly

and add detergent to the bottom of the tub. Close the door to latch and the dishwasher will

continue through the cycle.

DISHWASHER DISPENSER & DETERGENTS

Rinse Aid

Rinse aid greatly improves drying and

reduces water spots and fi lming. It also

lubricates wash arm bearings for proper

rotation. When used, it causes water to

“sheet” off dishes rather than forming water

droplets that cling. Any minerals, or fi ne solids

that may be in the water are left as spots

when the droplets dry.

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 refi ll.

To add liquid rinse aid, turn dispense cap 1/4

turn counterclockwise and lift out. Pour in

rinse aid until liquid touches the indicated fi ll

level. Replace cap.

Do not overfi ll since this can cause

oversudsing. Wipe up any spills with a damp

cloth.

The dispenser holds enough for 35 to 140

washes, depending on the dial setting.

FACTORS AFFECTING PERFORMANCE

Water Pressure

The hot water supply line to dishwasher must

provide water pressure between 20 and 120

psi.

Low water pressure may occur when laundry

or showers are in operation. If you experience

poor wash performance you may need to wait

until water use is reduced before starting the

dishwasher.

Water Temperature

Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and

drying results. Water entering the dishwasher

should be at least 120oF (49oC) 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 the

water stream to check the temperature.

• If temperature is below 120oF (49oC),

have a qualifi ed person raise the hot

water heater thermostat setting.

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. Turning off the

HEAT DRY option; will result in more of the

dish load being wet at the end of the cycle.

WARNING

Burn Hazard

Allow heating element to cool before

cleaning the interior.

Failure to do so can result in burns.

CAUTION

8

CARE AND CLEANING

Outside - Occasionally, use a soft cloth

to wipe the outside with a mild nonabrasive

detergent and water. Then rinse and dry.

Inside - The inside of the dishwasher,

including the fi lter, is self-cleaning with normal

use. If needed, clean around the tub gasket

area with a damp cloth.

Care of Drain Air Gap

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 the countertop

and can be inspected by removing the cover.

This is not part of your dishwasher and is not

covered by warranty.

NOTE

Hard water may cause lime deposit buildup

on the interior of the dishwasher. For

cleaning instructions see “Removing Spots

and fi lm” section.

Property 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.

Overfi ll Protector- keeps dishwasher

from overfi lling and is located in the left front

corner of the tub.

• Clean occasionally with household cleaner

containing vinegar or bleach to dissolve

any buildup.

• Overfi ll Protector should move up and

down freely about one inch. If it does not

move, lift and clean underneath.

CARE AND CLEANING

Winterizing

A dishwasher left in an unheated place should

be protected from freezing. Have a qualifi ed

person do the following:

To Disconnect Service:

1. 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.

To Restore Service:

5. Reconnect the water, drain, and electrical

power supply.

6. Turn on water and electrical power

supply.

7. Fill both detergent cups and run

dishwasher through a NORMAL WASH

cycle.

8. Check connections to make sure they do

not leak.

BEFORE YOU CALL

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.

Food Soils Left on Dishes

• Choose another cycle for longer washing

time.

• Check rack loading section for proper

loading - avoid nesting items.

• Home water pressure may be too low -

should be 20 to 120 pounds per square

inch (psi).

• Check incoming water temperature.

It should be about 120oF (49oC).

(See Factors Affection Performance.)

• Check water hardness. For extremely

hard water, it may be necessary to install

a water softener. (See Detergent Chart).

• Use Fresh Detergent.

• Make sure items are not extending below

the lower rack and preventing the spray

arm from rotating.

• Assure that dishware is not extending

over the square area in the middle of the

lower rack and so preventing the arm

from telescoping up to spray into the

upper rack.

Dishes not Dry

• Select heat dry option.

• Make sure the rinse aid dispenser is fi lled.

• Increase the discharge setting of rinse

aid. (See Rinse Aid).

• Check the incoming water temperature.

Be sure it is about 120oF (49oC).

• Check for proper loading - avoid nesting

items.

• Plastic items may need to be towel dried.

• Cups with a concave bottom will collect

water. Load them at the far left and right

sides of the upper rack so they will be

held in a tilted position.

• Unload the lower rack fi rst. During

unloading any liquid left in depressed

areas of mugs or other dishware in the

upper rack may fall onto any dishware left

in the lower rack.

Glassware/Flatware Spotted or Cloudy

• Check water hardness. For extremely

hard water, it may be necessary to install

a water softener. (See Detergent Chart).

• Water temperature may be low. Avoid

extremely low or high temperatures. (See

Factors Affecting Performance.

• Avoid overloading and improper loading.

(See Preparing and Loading Dishes).

10

BEFORE YOU CALL

• Use fresh detergent. Old detergent is

ineffective.

• Make sure rinse aid dispenser is fi lled.

• Check to see that proper amount of

detergent is being used for cycle selected.

(See Detergent Dispenser).

• Home water pressure may be too low-it

should be 20 to 120 pounds per square

inch (psi).

• Wipe cloudy glass with a rag moistened

with vinegar. If it cannot be wiped off it

is probably etched and is most likely due

to the use of too much detergent.

Dishware Chipped

• Load with care and do not overload. (See

Preparing and Loading Dishes).

• Place delicate items in top rack.

• Place glasses securely against pins and

not over pins.

• Load items so they are secure and don’t

jar loose when moving racks in and out.

Move racks in and out slowly.

• Make sure tall glasses and stemware will

clear top of tub when rack is pushed in.

• Fine antique china and crystal should be

hand-washed.

Dishware Stained or Discolored

• Tea and coffee can stain cups. Remove

the stains by hand washing in a solution

of 1/2 cup (120 ml) bleach and one quart

(1L) of warm water. Rinse thoroughly.

• Iron deposits in water can cause a yellow

or brown fi lm. A special fi lter installed

in the water supply line will correct this

problem. (See Removing Spots and Film).

• Aluminum utensils can leave gray/black

marks when they rub against other items.

Load Properly.

• Certain high acid foods can cause

discoloration of stainless steel and plastics

if allowed to sit for a long period. Rinse

by hand if not operating dishwasher at

once.

• Mixing stainless steel and silver utensils

in silverware basket can cause pitting of

the stainless steel blades. Avoid mixing

stainless steel and silver.

Etching

• Using too much detergent especially in

soft or softened water causes damage

that looks like a fi lm but cannot be

removed. This is called Etching

• Adjust the amount of detergent based

on the water hardness. (Check Detergent

Chart).

• Use heat dry option and do not leave

dishware in unit longer than necessary.

Detergent Left in Cups

• Detergent may be old. Discard and use

fresh detergent.

• Be sure the dish load doesn’t block spray

from entering the detergent cup.

• Check to see if cycle has been completed.

• Make sure items do not block the

detergent dispenser door from opening.

Dishwasher Leaks

• Use only fresh detergent designed

for automatic dishwashers. Measure

detergent carefully. Try a different brand.

• Check that the seal for the door is seated.

• Check that the hoses are free of cracks

and still connected at each end.

• Check that the unit is installed in a level

position according to the installation

instructions that were provided with the

unit or can be found on line.

• Check that the fl oat is free to move up

and down.

Vapor at Vent

• Water vapor escapes from the vent during

the cycle. This is normal and is essential

for drying.

• Spilled rinse aid can cause foam and lead

to overfl owing. Wipe up any spills with a

damp cloth.

• Check to see that dishwasher is level.

(See Installation Instructions).

Water in Bottom of Tub

• Water left in the bottom of tub after

cycle completion is not normal. If seen

it may indicate that the dishwasher is not

draining properly. (See Dishwasher Does

Not Drain Properly.)

11

BEFORE YOU CALL

Normal Sounds You Will Hear

• Normal sounds include water fi ll, water

circulation, motor sounds, and fl uid

draining.

Cycle Takes a Long Time

• Is cycle in a water heating delay?

• Assure that the incoming water

temperature is about 1200F (490C).

Dishwasher Won’t Run

• Check to see if a circuit breaker is tripped

or if a fuse is blown.

• Make sure water supply is turned on.

• Check to see if cycle is set correctly. (See

Operating Instructions).

• Make sure door is closed and latched.

Dishwasher Won’t Fill

• Is water supply turned on?

• Does overfi ll protector move up and down

freely? (See Overfi ll Protector section).

Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly

• If unit is hooked up to a food waste

disposer, make sure the disposer is empty.

• Check to see if the knockout plug has

been removed from inside the food waste

disposer inlet.

• Check to see if drain hose is kinked.

• Make sure cycle is complete, not in a

pause.

Dishwasher has an Odor

• Run the dishwasher regularly - whether a

full load is available or not. Soiled dishes

left in dishwasher too long can create an

odor.

• There will be a “new” smell when fi rst

installed. This is normal.

• Check to see if unit is draining properly.

(See Dishwasher Does Not Drain

Properly).

Removing Spots and Film

Hard water can cause lime deposits to build

up on the interior of the dishwasher. Dishes

and glasses may also get spots and fi lm for a

number of reasons. (See Glassware/Flatware

Spotted or Cloudy section). To remove

buildup, and fi lm, clean using the following

instructions:

1. Load clean dishes and glasses in normal

manner. Do not load any metal utensils

or silverware.

2. Do not add detergent.

3. Turn dial to NORMAL WASH. Close and

latch door to start.

4. Allow dishwasher to run for 20 minutes to

reach the main wash portion of cycle.

5. Unlatch and open door pour 2 cups

of white vinegar into the bottom of

dishwasher.

6. Close and latch the door allow the cycle

to fi nish.

Stains on Tub Interior

• Washing large amounts of dishware with

tomato-based soil can cause a pink/

orange appearance. This will not affect

performance and will gradually fade over

time. Pre-rinsing will reduce the chance

of staining. Using no heat dry option will

lesson staining.
