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 nothear 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!
Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot water and detergent through the spray arms against soiled surfaces.
Each cycle begins by filling 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.

When HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, the dishwasher
heats water in the main wash to approximately 140°F
(60°C).
Select desired OPTIONS (See Energy Options). The

Run hot water faucet nearest dishwasher until water
is hot. Turn water off.
To start, press START/CANCEL pad.
WASH is automatically provided when POWER PLUS cycle is
selected.

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/CANCELpad.
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 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.
This increase in water temperature helps
dishwasher detergent remove food grease and soil from
dishes more effectively and aids in drying. This option is
available in NORMAL WASH and LIGHT WASH. HI-TEMP
Sanitize Option
Air Dry
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) assuring bacteria is destroyed. This option is
available in POWER PLUS, NORMAL WASH and LIGHT
WASH. Only these sanitization cycles have been
designed to meet NSF requirements.
The unit defaults to heated dry when it is started with any
cycle selected. This drying uses a combination of the
heated dry with rinse aid that achieves enhanced drying
performance. If you prefer to only have AIR DRY for dishes,
you will select AIR DRY and the unit will not energize the
heating element. This will reduce energy consumption, but
reduce drying perfomance.
The cycle time will be extended until the proper water
temperature is reached. Washing action will continue
during the water heating delay. For best results, the
incoming water temperature should be at least 120°F
(49 °C).
The DELAY START option allows you to automatically delay
starting your dishwasher from 1-24 hours.
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 pad a second
time. The light above the pad will turn off.
To Cancel a Cycle
You can cancel a cycle anytime during the cycle. Press
START/CANCEL pad and the dishwasher will start a 60
second drain. At the end of the drain, select the desired
cycle.
When an option is selected, the light above the pad will
come on and remain on until end of cycle. To turn off the
option, press the pad a second time. The light above the
pad will turn off.
Child
Lock Controls
To prevent children from accidently changing the
dishwasher cycle or starting the dishwasher, lock the
dishwasher controls by pressing and releasing the DELAY
START pad 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 until the indicator light goes out.
Delay Start
On models with 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.
To cancel the DELAY START option and begin the cycle
before the delay period is over, press the START/CANCEL
pad.

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.

Bowl Tines
The bowl tines offer the ultimate in flexibility. When
closed, load with saucers or small dishes. Open halfway
and it is perfect for small casseroles. Open completely
for those hard to fit items such as coffee pots, food
processors, etc. As you load your dishwasher, you will
find many other ways to use this unique feature.
To raise the rack to the middle or upper position, simply
lift the rack. The lever is spring loaded to engage the
upper position. To lower the rack to the lower position,
push lever with thumbs and push downward
simutaneously. To ensure ease of adjustment when
adjusting the rack, ensure that the rack remains level
from front to back with both sides at the same height.

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.

the bottom of the tub. Close the door to latch and the dishwasher will continue through the cycle.
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.
The hot water line to dishwasher must provide water
pressure between 20 and 120 psi.
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
starting dishwasher.
models with a STATUS window, LO 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.
Do not overfill since this can cause oversudsing. Wipe up
any spills with a damp cloth.

are in operation. Wait until water use is reduced before
Water
Temperature

Select the NORMAL WASH cycle. Close and latch
door. Press START/CANCEL pad.

vinegar into the bottom of dishwasher.
6.
Close and latch door and allow cycle to finish.
