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. Not all cycles and options available on all mode s. Very Important Information = Read Before Operating Your Dishwasher! Normal Operating Sounds This dishwasher does not sound like most dishwashers - IT'S QUIETER. Your Direct Feed 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. The next sound you will hear is the splashing water as it enters the tub PLEASE BE ADVISED: If you compare this dishwasher to previous models, you may be surprised at what you DON'T hear. Why Energy Efficient Units run long cycles: Several factors are important to washing dishware. The energy use of the dishwasher was reduced by applying more of the factors that don't use so much energy and less of the ones that use more. As a result, you will see that the wash cycles take longer. Your dishwasher cleans byspraying amixture ofhotwater anddetergent through thespray arms against soiled surfaces. First, thedishwasher drains forafewseconds toremove soilsdropped while loading, thenfillswithwater covering thefilterarea.Water isthenpumped through thespray arms.Soil particles gothrough andacross thefilteranddown thedrain asthewater ispumped out.This series of steps arerepeated asneeded.

Option Selections Wash Property Damage Hazard Before starting dishwasher be sure that the water is connected and turned on. Failure to do so may cause damage to the pump seal and result in water leakage, 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 cycle will be lengthened for automatic water heating in the main wash and final rinse of all cycles. This happens even when HI-TEMP WASH option has not be selected. When HI-TEMP WASH is selected, an even higher temperature will be reached to handle heavier soil loads. Recommended Cycle for typical use: The Normal cycle with its factory default options of normal temperature and heated dry 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. Pressure The programmed cycles default to the "surge" pressure option which varies the pressure optimally for the cycle's intended normal use. If, for some special circumstance, either a very low "spray" or very high "scour" pressure is desired that may be selected. Due to wash cycle optimization, some pressure options are not selectable in all wash cycle. Wash Temp The programmed cycles default to the "normal" temperature option, to choose HI-TEMP or SANITIZE press WASH TEMP pad again. Hi=Temp Wash Option HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, by pressing the WASH TEMP pad, the dishwasher heats water in the main wash to approximately 140°F (60°C). This increase in water temperature helps dishwasher detergent remove food grease and soil from dishes more effectively and aids in drying. Sanitize Option Delay Start To sanitize your dishes and glassware, select SANITIZE option, by pressing WASH TEMP pad. When selected, the light 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 Cycles. Only these sanitization cycles have been designed to meet NSF requirements. The DELAY START option allows you to automatically delay starting your dishwasher from 1-24 hours. 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 120oF (49°0. proper action will For best should be 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 Wash Temp pad. The SANITIZE light will turn off. Heat Dry The HEATED DRY option in combination with rinse aid will enhance drying performance. HEATED DRY option is available on all cycles. Air Dry The AIR DRY option will reduce temperature in the hot rinse of the selected wash cycle. This option will slightly decrease energy usage but will increase the likelihood that dishware will not be dry. My Favorite Cycle The MY FAVORITE CYCLE option allows you to program your preferred cycle and options into one button. Once Programmed, simply press the MY FAVORITE CYCLE button followed by the START/ CANCEL pad will select the programmed cycle and options. To Program the MY FAVORITE CYCLE button: 1. 2. Select your preferred cycle and options Hold the MY FAVORITE CYCLE button for 3 seconds. The LED over the MY FAVORITE pad turns on indicating the MY FAVORITE CYCLE option has been programmed. To change the MY FAVORITE CYCLEoption simply repeat steps one and two above. To activate press the DELAY START pad until the desired delay time shows in the STATUS window and press START. To cancel the DELAY START option and begin the cycle before the delay period is over, press the START/CANCEL pad until the status window show cycle duration. Press START/CANCEL again and close the door. Child Lock Controls To prevent children from accidently changing the dishwasher cycle or starting the dishwasher, lock the dishwasher controls by pressing the DELAY START pad for 3 seconds and releasing. The status window will display "loc': To unlock the controls, press the DELAY START pad until "loc" goes out. To Cancel a Cycle To cancel a cycle at anytime, open the door and press the START/CANCEL pad until the 1 min drain feature is initiated. Close the door and the drain cycle will beqin. You will hear a tone for the start and completion of the drain cycle. When the door is opened, the last cycle selected will be displayed. If desired, a new cycle can now be selected by pressing START/CANCEL pad and upon closing the door the cycle will begin. Status Window Status Indicator Lights The CLEAN light will remain on until the door is opened. The STATUS window, available on some models, indicates the following activity: 1-24 ............. Number of delay start hours. The last hour will count down in minutes. CL.................... Close dishwasher door. The status indicator lights will also flash to indicate current cycle status. MINUTES .......... Number of minutes left in cycle (1-199). L0.... L6 ................ Level of Rinse Aid dosage. In the unlikely event the dishwasher malfunctions, the STATUS window may display one of the following codes: "i10" - refer to dishwasher won't run or fill and try to solve the problem "i20" - refer to dishwasher does not drain properly and try to solve the problem. If, after the check, the problem remains, or if the status window shows other error codes, contact the Frigidaire Customer Care Center at 1=800-944-9044. They will be able to provide assistance in troubleshooting the problem and/or locating an authorized service technician, if needed. When the SANITIZE option is selected and the criteria is met, the Sanitized indicator will display and remain on until the door is opened. If the sanitization criteria is not achieved, the indicator will not display. This can happen if the cycle is interrupted or if the sanitization temperature could not be reached due to incoming water temperature significantly below 120°F. Green Light When the GREEN LIGHT illuminates on the floor this indicates that the wash cycle is complete.

This means that the dishwasher received input from the Smart Sensor concerning the soil load and has automatically adjusted the cycle length Dish Preparation Scrape away large pieces of food, bones, pits, toothpicks, etc. The continuously filtered wash fluid 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 pre-rinse or use the rinse only cycle to rinse off these food soils. • Load racks so that large items do not prevent the detergent dispenser from opening. Check manufacturer's recommendations before washing items in question. 8 place settings standard loading pattern If the dishwasher drains into a Food Disposer, be sure disposer is completely empty before starting dishwasher. Loading the Upper Rack Features and appearance of racks and silverware basket may vary from your model. 10 place settings standard loading pattern The upper rack is designed for flexibility in loading a wide variety of items including cups, glasses, stemware, small plates, bowls, etc. Load glasses and plastic items in upper rack only. Load items with open end 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 upper rack. Be sure nothing protrudes through the bottom of the rack to block rotation of middle spray arm. 12 place settings standard loading pattern Adjustable Upper Rack The top rack height can be easily adjusted to accommodate loading taller dishes in either rack. To raise the rack to the upper position, lift rack until both sides are at the same height and the rack will secure in place. Ensure that the rack remains level from front to back with both sides at the same height. To lower rack lift the rack slightly then push down and release. Upper Rack Loading the Bottom Rack Features and appearance of racks and si/verware basket may vary from your mode/. Fold=down Tines Upper Rack The fold-down tines in the upper rack makes it easy to load those extra large and hard-to-fit items. The tines may be left up for normal use or folded down for more flexible loading. Upper The bottom 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.

Soft Grip Rack The Soft Grip Rack is used to secure in place glassware and those plastic items that may move around with the water from the spray arm. 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. Loading the Silverware Basket To add or remove items after wash cycle starts: • Load sharp items (knives, skewers, etc.) pointing down. Failure todosomayresult ininju . 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. Filling the Detergent Dispenser How much Detergent to use The detergent dispenser has a main wash cup where you will add your detergent or detergent tab. 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 etching to some glassware which is surface damage that appears like a film but cannot be wiped off. Your local water company, water softener company or county extension agent can tell you the water hardness in your area. • Use only fresh automatic dishwashing detergent. Other detergents may cause oversudsing. • When using automatic dishwashing detergent tablet, place one tablet in main wash cup and close. • Add detergent just before starting cycle. • Store detergent in a cool, dry location. Moist or caked detergent may not dissolve properly.

A water softener is recommended to improve water quality and dishwashing performance. 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. _n_d How to adjust the rinse aid dosage Rinse aid greatly improves drying, reduces water spotSr filming. With it water"sheets" off dishes rather than forming water droplets that cling and leave spots. Press and hold the RINSE ONLY and DELAY START 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. The indicator will be dark when full and will show clear when it is time to refill. Once the rinse-aid level reaches L6, the display will start back at level L0. To add liquid rinse aid, open the cover. Pour in rinse aid until liquid touches the indicated fill level. Close the cover. Do not overfill since this can cause oversudsing. Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth. The dispenser holds enough for 11 to 66 washes, depending on setting. pad for 5 seconds until the display shows rinse aid level. Pressing the DELAY START pad increases the increment level (L0-L6). Pressing the START button or just pausing for a few seconds confirms the rinse aid level setting: the display shows the duration of the cycle. Water 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. 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 dishwasher should be at least 120°F (49°C) to give satisfactory results. Indicator Rinse Aid Compartment Rinse Aid 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 120°F (49°C), have a qualified person raise the hot water heater thermostat setting. Before starting a cycle, run hot water to clear cool water from pipe. 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. Outside - Occasionally wipe with a mild nonabrasive detergent and water. Rinse and dry. 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 counter top and can be inspected by removing the cover. This is not part of your dishwasher and is not covered by warranty. Clean the Cylinder Fine Filter The Cylinder Fine Filter is designed to collect some big items such as broken glass, bones and pits. The Cylinder Fine Filter needs to be cleaned to maximize wash performance. Remove the Cylinder Fine Filter as shown, rotate it counterclockwise, lift it out, empty and clean it by rinsing under running water and replace. Use of a sponge or bottle brush may be necessary to remove all food residue. Clean the Coarse Filter Take out the Cylinder Fine Filter and remove the Coarse Filter from the dishwasher tub bottom. Flush the Coarse Filter by holding it under running water and replace. Winterizing A dishwasher left in an unheated place should be protected from freezing.
