Water
Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and drying results. Before
starting the dishwasher, turn on the hot water faucet nearest the
dishwasher to clear cool water from the pipe.
,_ Water supplied to dishwasher must be at least 120°F (49°C). Im-
proved performance may be obtained by raising water temperature to
140°F (60°C). Check water heater for proper temperature setting.
Check hot water temperature at sink faucet with candy or meat ther-
mometer. (Figure A). Caution: Water temperature should not ex-
ceed 160°F (71 °C),
Do not operate dishwasher during or right after other heavy use of hot
water, such as laundry or bathing.
Some models are equipped with a Water Heat option which will bring
water to the proper washing temperature. Cycle time will be extended
while water is heating. For example, incoming water temperature of
120°F will add 20 - 30 minutes washing time to heat water.
Water Fressure
Figure A
Water supply pressure must be between 15 and 120 pounds persquare
inch. To determine if you have enough pressure, put a !/2 gallon container
under fully opened hot water faucet nearest dishwasher. If container fills
in less than 14 seconds, water pressure is within an acceptable range. Be
_ure all other faucets are turned off during this test.
Water Conditions
In areas where water is very hard (12grains or more), it may be necessary
to install a water softener to assure proper performance from your dish-
washer. If you do not know the hardness of your water supply, contact
your local water department or bring a sample into your Sears store for
testing.
#etereents
Only use detergents labeled for use in automatic dishwashers in the
amount sufficient for your water conditions. NEVER use laundry deter-
gents, liquid soaps or other household cleaners in your dishwasher.
Some detergents will be more effective with your water conditions than
others. Refer to the table on page 9 for the correct amount of detergent.
Store detergent in a cool, dry place. Follow label instructions for liquid

fade. Do not place aluminum items directly in front of detergent cups
where contact with undissolved detergent could cause pitting, spotting or
discoloration.
CAST tRON: Cast iron utensils should be hand washed.
CHaNA: Antique, hand painted china and items with gold or platinum trim
should be handwashed.
CRYSTAL: Load carefully in upper rack onay. To prevent chipping,
items should not touch. Hand wash delicate items. Use Cool Dry option
for crystal items.

washer safe. Do not mix silver and stainless orthe finishes may be dam-
aged. Flatware with dark decorative shading and/or non-metallic han-
dles should be hand washed.
PEWTER: Pewter or pewter-like materials should be hand washed.

Proper Loading
Dishes do not need to be pre-rinsed before loading. Simply scrape away excess food, bones, pits, etcy
Burned on food should be loosened before loading. Empty liquids from glasses and cups.
Always load dishes so water spray reaches soiled surfaces. Water must drain off completely for
best results.
Lower Rack
Make sure pot handles and other items do not
stop rotation of spray arms or block center
wash tower from extending upward.
Load cookie sheets, cake pans and other large
items at sides. Do not block the detergent dis-
penser.
® Items should be loaded with soiled surfaces
facing inward.
Place plates, soup bowls, etc. between
prongs and facing inward.
