All rights reserved. Printed in U.S.A. 2 Dishwasher Features 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.

Turn water off. like most Your Precision Wash Systern_ 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 mayor may not-hear 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 middle arm sprays 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! Load dishwasher (See Preparing and Loading Dishes). Add detergent (See Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents). Add rinse aid, if needed (See Rinse Aid). Close door to latch. 7. 8. To start, press START/CANCEL pad. 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 Note: 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. Operating Instructions (continued) On some models, the Smart Sensor checks the soil level on your dishes in the Pots Pan, Normal and Light Wash (Both Racks) cycles. Depending on soil level, the sensor will determine if additional water fills are needed to clean the dishes or if water fills can be deleted. Cycle time and water usage will vary based on the amount of soil on the dishes. Cycle time will also vary based on the options selected and the incoming water temperature. Note: Not all cycles available on all models. Cycle Cycle Chart Soil Level To Select Cycle Pots & Pans For pots, pans, casseroles and dinnerware with dried-on or baked-on soils.

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 CHINA CRYSTAL (some models) and RINSE & HOLD. HI-TEMP WASH is automatically provided selected. when POTS & PANS cycle is When HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, the light above the pad will come on and remain on until end of cycle. To turn off the HI-TEMP WASH option, press the pad a second time. The light above the pad will turn off. To select heated dry, press the pad a second time. The light above the pad will turn off. Heated dry provides faster drying since the heating element is on during the drying portion of the cycle. You may see water vapor coming from the vent during the drying portion of cycle. The vent is closed during washing to hold moisture and sound inside. The vent opens during the last few minutes of the final rinse and remains open for drying. The drying option may be changed at any time during the cycle and affects only the drying period. Opening the door longer than one minute during the dry cycle cancels the selected dry program. Delay Start 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 Pots & Pans, Normal and Light (Both Racks) cycles. Only these sanitization cycles have been designed to meet NSF requirements. The cycle time will be extended until the water temperature is reached. Washing continue during the water heating delay. results, the incoming water temperature at least 120°F (49°C). speed the drying process, open the door slightly after the cycle is complete.

To turn off the SANITIZE option, press the pad a second time. The light above the pad will turn off. No Heat Dry NO HEAT DRY option saves electricity since the heating element is off during drying portion of cycle. When selected, the light above the pad will come on and remain on until end of cycle. To 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.

The STATUS indicates window, the following available on some models, activity: The WASHING light (some models) comes on at the beginning of cycle and remains on until the end of the main wash. The DRYING light (some models) indicates the drying portion of the cycle. The light will come on when either drying option is selected. Note: 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. 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. 1H-24H The RINSING AGENT LOW light (some models) comes on at the end of a cleaning cycle when the rinse agent reservoir is low.

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 prevent the detergent dispenser from opening. • Check manufacturer's washing • recommendations before items in question. Do not cover funnel If the dishwasher drains into a food Some models have a fold-down cup shelf or a cup shelf/stemware holder.

LIGHT WASH--UPPER 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. Do not cover funnel Utility Tray The utility tray can be used in the upper rack or lower rack to hold large utensils, juice cups, baby bottles, etc. 9 Preparing and Loading Dishes (continued) Lower Rack Option (available select models) Loading the Bottom Rack Features and appearance of racks and silverware basket may vary from your model. LIGHT WASH--LOWER RACK option can be used for lightly soiled pots and pans, large bowls, casseroles, and odd shaped items when you do not have a full load. This option is perfect for those leftover items you usually have to wash by hand. 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 bottom of the rack and block the spray arm rotation. the 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. 10 Preparing and Loading Dishes (continued) Loading the Silverware Basket 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. Cut Injury Load sharp items (knives, skewers, etc.) pointing down. Failure to do so may result in injury.

Close the door to latch and the dishwasher will continue through the cycle. 12 Dishwasher Factors Affecting ....................................... & DetergentsDispenser (continued) D........................................ Performance 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. Low water pressure may occur when laundry or showers are in operation. Wait until water use is reduced before starting dishwasher. 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 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. a STATUS window, LO will appear at the end of the cycle indicating that it is time to refill.
