Features

Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot water and detergent through the spray arms against
soiled surfaces. 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.

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 not-hear
the drain motor.

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.

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.

Controls

To prevent children from accidentty changing the

cycle or starting the dishwasher,
lock
the dishwasher controls by pressing and releasing
the DELAY START pad (some models) or the AIR
DRY pad (some models) for 3 seconds. An
indicator light on the lock graphic pad will illuminate
when the controls are locked and no new
selections can be made until the lock is released.
To unlock the controls, press the DELAY START
pad or AIR DRY pad until the indicator light goes

Factors
Water

Affecting

Performance

Pressure

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.
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.
Important:
Before starting a cycle, run hot
water at the tap to clear cool water from pipe.
A HEATED DRY option in combination with
rinse aid will enhance drying performance.
The energy required to use these options
costs pennies per cycle. You may choose to
select the NO HEAT DRYoption;
however you
will have items in your dish load that will not be
completely dry at the end of the cycle.

& Detergents
Rinse Aid

Dispenser

The detergent dispenser has one main wash and one
pre wash cup. The covered cups open automatically
to release detergent.
•

Use only fresh automatic dishwashing
detergent. Other detergents will cause
oversudsing.

•

When using automatic dishwashing
detergent
tabs, place one tab in main wash cup and
close.

•

•

Store detergent in a cool,dry location. Moist
or caked detergent wilt not dissolve properly.

just before starting

cycle.

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.
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. _ will appear at
the end of the cycle indicating that it is time to refill.
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.

The dispenser holds enough for 35 to 140 washes,

How

much

Detergent

to use

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.
