ENERGY-SAVING TIPS
●
you don’t need your dishes right away, use your
DRYING HEAT OFF option (energy saver drying
feature) that turns the drying heater off
automatically. Dishes dry naturally over a longer
period such overnight.
●
Operate dishwasher only when it’s full. Let the
dishes accumulate in dishwasher. When you put in
only a partial load, use the RINSE & HOLD cycle to
rinse off heavy soils. Be sure to latch the door when
waiting for a full load. This helps keep soils moist,
easier to remove.
●
Always select the cycle that uses the least amount
of water that will remove the soil from the load.
(See the Operating section).

HOW TO OPERATE YOUR DISHWASHER
STEP 1. Load your dishwasher with dishes, silverware,
pots, pans, bowls, etc., according to the Loading section.
●
For NORMAL WASH cycle:
a. Push selected cycle button.

c. Slowly turn Cycle Indicator
Dial to ON position to start
the cycle. You will hear
the motor start. There is
a time delay between the start-up and the water
fill so you will not hear any wash action right away.

2. Do not add detergent.
3. Start the dishwasher and allow to run for 18 to 22 minutes. The dishwasher will
