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 center wash tower 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.

Option

When WATER HEAT option is selected, the
heating element in bottom of tub will raise the
main wash water temperature
to approximately
140°F. Wash action will continue but timer will not
advance until this water temperature
has been
reached. The hotter water provided by this option
helps activate dishwasher detergent to clean food
grease and soil from dishes. WATER HEAT option
can be used with any cycle except RINSE HOLD.
The WATER HEAT light will glow until the water
temperature
reaches 140°F. To turn off option
press RESET OPTIONS.

No Heat

Dry Option

NO HEAT DRY option saves electricity. The
heating element stays off during drying portion of
cycle. Additional drying time may be required, with
door open, to completely air dry dishes. Some
water droplets may remain on door and in areas
where dishes touch dishwasher basket or rack.
To turn NO HEAT DRY option off and select a
heated drying cycle, push the RESET OPTIONS
button. If NO HEAT DRY option is not selected, a
heated drying cycle is automatically
provided. NO
HEAT DRY option must be selected with the
RINSE HOLD cycle.
The drying option may be changed at any time
during the cycle and affects only the drying period.

Preparing

Dishes

Dish Preparation

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.

Glasses
and cup,'r-Place
glasses and cups
against outside pins at an angle. Cups with a
concave bottom will collect water.

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.

Plasticware--Load
to avoid melting.

Be sure large items do not block the detergent
dispenser, preventing it from opening during
the wash cycle.

To be sure an item is dishwasher safe, read
the manufacturer's
care instructions.

If the dishwasher drains into a food disposer,
be sure disposer
is completely

before dishwasher
is started.

Factors Affecting
Performance
Water

Aid

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.

Pressure

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 less than 14 seconds. Be sure all
other faucets

are turned

off during test.

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.
The dispenser holds enough for 35 to 140
washes, depending on setting.

Water

Temperature

Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and
drying results. Water entering dishwasher should
be 120°F to give satisfactory
results. Improved
performance
may be obtained by raising water
temperature to 140°F. Water temperature
should
not exceed 160°F. Check your water heater for
proper temperature.

for a Portable/Convertible

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.
