Dishwasher Features
Your dishwasher,
illustrated below, cleans by spraying a mixture of hot, clean water, and detergent against
the soiled surfaces of your dishes and tableware. Each cycle starts with a pre-drain. Next, the dishwasher
fills with water to a level even with the heating element. This water is constantly pumped through the rotating
spray arm and sprayed onto the dishes. Soiled water is pumped out and replaced with clean water during a
cycle. The number of water fills depends upon the cycle being used.

Operating Instructions
Dish Preparation

Energy Options

It is not necessary to rinse dishes before putting
them into the dishwasher.
Just remove large
pieces and quantities of food, bones, pits, etc.
Empty glasses and cups. It may be necessary to
presoak or lightly scour firmly cooked-on or
baked-on foods.

Hi-Temp Wash Option

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 dishes facing the center of the rack so that
the water spray from the rotating spray arm can
reach soiled surfaces.
• Be sure large items do not block the detergent
dispenser, preventing it from opening during the
wash cycle.

When HI-TEMP WASH ON option is selected, the

by this option helps activate dishwasher detergent

Dry Option

HEAT DRY ON option provides faster drying since
the heating element is on during the drying portion
of cycle.
The HEAT DRY option in combination with rinse
aid will give you excellent drying results. The
energy to use HEAT DRY costs pennies per cycle.
You may turn off the HEAT DRY option, however
you will have items in your dish load that will not be
dry at the end of the cycle.
With either option, you may see water vapor
coming from vent during the washing and/or drying
portion of cycle. On some models, the vent is
closed during washing to hold moisture and sound
inside and then opens for drying.
The drying option may be changed at any time
during the cycle and affects only the drying period.

Pre Wash

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.

For very hard water, detergent alone may not be enough. A water softener is recommended
to improve
quality and dishwashing performance.
Try adding more detergent at the beginning of the main wash portion

Factors Affecting Performance
Rinse Aid

Water

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.

Water pressure should be between 20 and 120
pounds per square inch. Low water pressure
occurs most often during periods of high water
consumption,
such as when laundry or showers
are being done. To determine if you have enough
water pressure, put a 2 quart container under fully
opened hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher.
It
should fill in tess than 14 seconds. Be sure all

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.
To add liquid rinse aid, turn dispenser cap 1/4 turn
counterclockwise
and lift out. Pour in rinse aid until
liquid touches

Do not overfill since this can cause oversudsing.

The spray arm may need to be cleaned to insure
that there are no clogs to the spray arm jets and

To remove spray arm simply hold the spray arm in
place and turn the retaining nut clockwise
and
putt up on the spray arm lifting off the shaft.
To clean the spray arm use warm soapy water
using a soft brush to clean the jets and bearings.
To replace the spray arm simply set the spray arm
on the shaft, take the retaining nut and turn it
counter clockwise till it has locked into place.

Cleaning

the

Filter

For optimum performance,
your dishwasher
is
equipped with a filter assembly featuring a main
filter, cup and fine filter as shown in the drawing
above. All food fragments are removed from the
dishwasher as water passes through the filter
assembly.
Each part of the assembly should be cleaned often
to ensure that all food fragments are removed from
the dishes. To remove food fragments from the
filter assembly, the filters must be removed from
the dishwasher.
To remove the filters, pull up on
the edge of the main filter. Next, rinse the main
filter and fine filter under running water. Cleaning
with a brush may also be necessary to remove
any fragments trapped in the filters. Once
cleaning has been completed, simply reassemble
the filter as shown in the drawing above. To
ensure that the filter is fully seated, please press
down on the top of the main filter. Using the
dishwasher
without a properly
installed
filter is
not recommended
as it will reduce the

Electrical Connection for a Portable Dishwasher
An electrical supply of 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only, 15 amps is required. For your
safety, the dishwasher must be grounded. If there is a malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce risk of electrical shock. This dishwasher
has a power cord with a 3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a
mating 3-prong grounding type receptacle, installed and grounded in
accordance with the National Electrical Code and any local codes and
ordinances.

can be greatly improved
by using a rinse aid andhot water. Hot water
raises temperature
of dishes to speed up drying.
When loading, invert cups and bowls so that water
can run off. Avoid nesting of articles. If dishes are
not completely dry at end of cycle (which may
occur when COOL DRY setting is used), open
door, roll out racks, and allow dishes to air dry.

Coffee

and tea stains can occur when

water contains

traces of iron. To avoid stains, rinse

cups out immediately after use. Increase amount of
detergent and use a rinse aid. Water temperature
should be approximately
140°F (60°C). If problem
persists, install a water softener with an iron
removal unit. To remove stains, hand wash cups in
solution of 1/2 cup (120 ml) bleach and a quart
(1 L) of warm water. Rinse thoroughly.

Spotting--spots
form when hard water
droplets evaporate leaving a deposit. Low
phosphate detergents increase the problem in hard
water. To prevent, use hot water and a detergent
with a higher level of phosphates (preferably 8.7%
or higher), or use more of a tow phosphate
detergent. Be sure to use a rinse aid. If water is
very hard, it may be necessary to install a water
softener. Load glasses and plates so they have
minimum contact with racks and pins. Avoid
overloading.
Spotting will occur where dishes and
glasses touch.

Gray-black

stains on dishes are caused
by manganese in water supply. To correct, install a
manganese filtering system into house water
supply.
Reddish-brown
stains on dishes,
glasses and interior are caused by iron

in
water. To avoid iron stain, increase detergent, use
water heated to approximately
140°F (60°C) and a
rinse aid. It may be necessary to install a water
softener with an iron removal unit. To improve
appearance,
use a commercial rust and lime scale
remover.

Cloudy

films and streaking are usually
caused by a combination of hard water and an
insufficient amount of detergent. Low phosphate
detergents are also a factor. To correct, increase
amount of detergent, check water temperature and
always use a rinse aid. If water is very hard, it may
be necessary to install a water softener.

Plastic items can lose their shape due to high
temperatures
of automatic dishwashing.
Read
labels before washing. Place washable items in top
rack away from heating element.

Etched film on glassware is caused by
using too much detergent in soft or softened water.
This film cannot be removed. It is more likely to
occur on soft leaded glass or expensive crystal.
An early warning of this condition is a cloudy
iridescent appearance
on glasses. To prevent, be
sure dishwasher is getting a full fill of water. Water
should reach base of heating element. If water
level is low, have water pressure checked by a
plumber. Use less detergent and make sure water

Discoloration of plasticware by some
foods, such as tomato sauce, can stain
ptasticware. If stained, soak item in solution of 1
tablespoon dishwasher detergent and a quart of hot
water or in a solution of 1/2 cup (120 ml) bleach
and a quart (1 L) of hot water.
