Your Precision Direct 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 not–
hear the drain motor.
Registering your product with Frigidaire enhances our ability
to serve you. You can register online at
www.frigidaire.com or by dropping your Product
Registration Card in the mail.
The next sound you will hear is the splashing water as
it enters the tub. Then the lower arm rotates and
circulates water. This is followed by a pause and a
slightly different sound as the upper arms spray water.
If you listen closely, you will hear the change in sound
as the wash action switches from one arm to the
other.

DISHWASHER FEATURES
Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot water and detergent through the spray arms against soiled surfaces.
First, the dishwasher fills with water covering the filter area. Water is then pumped through the spray arms. Soil particles
go through and across the filters, and down the drain as the water is pumped out. This series of steps are repeated as
needed. The number of water fills will vary with the cycle being used.

Getting Started
NOTE
1. Load dishwasher (See Preparing and Loading Dishes).
2. Add detergent (See Dishwasher Dispenser &
Detergents).
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/CANCEL pad.
3. Add rinse aid, if needed (See Rinse Aid).
4. Close door to latch.
5. Select desired CYCLE (See Cycle Chart). The indicator
light above the pad will glow when selected.
6. Select desired OPTIONS (See Energy Options). The
indicator light above the pad will glow when selected.
7. Run hot water faucet nearest dishwasher until water
is hot. Turn water off.
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 cycle will be lengthend for automatic water
heating in the main wash and final rinse 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 reached to handle heavier soil loads.
8. To start, press START/CANCEL pad.

PREPARING AND LOADING DISHES
Dish Preparation
Scrape away large pieces of food, bones, pits,
toothpicks, etc. The continuously filtered wash fluid 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 pre-rinse or use the
rinse only cycle to rinse off these food soils.

DISHWASHER DISPENSER & DETERGENTS
Filling the Detergent Dispenser
How much Detergent to use
The detergent dispenser has one covered and one
uncovered cup. Detergent in the uncovered cup falls into
the dishwasher when the door is closed. The covered
cup openslater automatically to release detergent.
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 etching to some glassware which is
surface damage that appears like a film but cannot be
wiped off. Your local water company, water softener
company or county extension agent can tell you the water
hardness in your area.
•
Use only fresh automatic dishwashing detergent.
Other detergents may cause oversudsing.
•
When using automatic dishwashing detergent tabs,
place one tab in main wash cup and close.
•
•
Add detergent just before starting cycle.
Store detergent in a cool, dry location. Moist
or caked detergent may not dissolve properly.

FACTORS AFFECTING PERFORMANCE
Rinse Aid
Water Pressure
Rinse aid greatly improves drying, reduces water
spots, filming, and lubricates wash arm bearings
for proper rotations. With it 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.
Low water pressure may occur when laundry or showers
are in operation. If you experience poor wash performance
you may need to wait until water use is reduced before
starting dishwasher.
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.
Water Temperature
Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and drying results.
Water entering dishwasher should be at least 120°F (49°C)
to give satisfactory results.
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.
To check water temperature entering dishwasher:
• Turn on hot water faucet nearest dishwasher for several
minutes to clear cool water from pipes.
• Hold a candy or meat thermometer in the water stream
to check the temperature.
Do not overfill since this can cause oversudsing.
Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth.
• If temperature is below 120°F (49°C), have a qualified

Food Soils Left on Dishes
• Choose another cycle for longer washing time.
• Place delicate items in top rack.
• Check rack loading section for proper loading—avoid
nesting items.
• Place glasses securely against pins and not over pins.
• Home water pressure may be too low—should be 20 to
120 pounds per square inch (psi).
• Load items so they are secure and don’t jar loose
when moving racks in and out. Move racks in and out
slowly.
• Check incoming water temperature. It should be about
120°F (49°C). (See Factors Affecting Performance.)
• Make sure tall glasses and stemware will clear top of
tub when rack is pushed in.
• Check water hardness. For extremely hard water, it may
be necessary to install a water softener. (See Detergent
Chart.)
• Fine antique china and crystal should be hand-
washed.
• Use fresh detergent.
Dishware Stained or Discolored
• Make sure items are not blocking the spray arms,
preventing them from rotating.
• Tea and coffee can stain cups. Remove the stains by
hand washing in a solution of 1/2 cup (120 ml) bleach
and one quart (1 L) of warm water. Rinse thoroughly.
Dishes not Dry
• Select heat dry option.
• Iron deposits in water can cause a yellow or brown
film. A special filter installed in the water supply line
will correct this problem. (See Removing Spots and
Film.)
• Make sure the rinse aid dispenser is filled.
• Increase the discharge setting of rinse aid. (See Rinse
Aid.)
• Aluminum utensils can leave gray/black marks when
they rub against other items. Load properly.
• Check the incoming water temperature. Be sure it is at
least 120°F (49°C).
• Certain high acid foods can cause discoloration of
stainless steel and plastics if allowed to sit for a long
period. Use the Rinse Only cycle or rinse by hand if
not operating dishwasher at once.
• Check for proper loading—avoid nesting items.
• Plastic items may need to be towel dried.
• Cups with a concave bottom will collect water. Load
them at the far left of the upper rack so they will be held
in a tilted position.
• Mixing stainless steel and silver utensils in silverware
basket can cause pitting of the stainless steel blades.
Avoid mixing stainless steel and silver.
Glassware/Flatware Spotted or
Cloudy
Etching
• Using too much detergent especially in soft or
softened water causes damage that looks like a film
but cannot be removed.
• Check water hardness. For extremely hard water, it may
be necessary to install a water softener. (See Detergent
Chart.)
• Adjust the amount of detergent based on the water
hardness. (Check Detergent Chart.)
• Water temperature may be low. Avoid extremely low or
high temperatures. (See Factors Affecting Performance.)
• Lower the water temperature by selecting the Normal

SOLUTIONS TO COMMON DISHWASHING PROBLEMS
• Be sure the dish load doesn’t block spray from entering
the detergent cup.
• Check to see if cycle has been completed.
• Make sure items do not prevent the detergent dispenser
from opening.
Dishwasher Does Not Drain
Properly
• If unit is hooked up to a food waste disposer, make
sure the disposer is empty.
Dishwasher Leaks
• Use only fresh detergent designed for automatic
dishwashers. Measure detergent carefully. Try a
different brand.
• Check to see if the knockout plug has been removed
from inside the food waste disposer inlet.
• Check to see if drain hose is kinked.
• Make sure cycle is complete, not in a pause.
Vapor at Vent
Cycle Takes a Long Time
• Is cycle in a water heating delay?
• Water vapor escapes from the vent during the drying
part of cycle. This is normal.
• Has the delay start option been selected?
• Has the sanitize option been selected?
• Spilled rinse aid can cause foam and lead to
overflowing. Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth.
• Check to see that dishwasher is level.
(See Installation Instructions.)
Dishwasher Has an Odor
• Soiled dishes left in dishwasher too long can create
an odor. Use Rinse Only cycle.
Normal Sounds You Will Hear
• Normal sounds include water fill, water circulation
and motor sounds.
• There will be a “new” smell when first installed. This
is normal.
• Check to see if unit is draining properly. (See
Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly.)
• There is a noticeable change in sound when the wash
action switches between the lower and middle spray
arm. This is normal since each spray arm has its own
sound.
Stains on Tub Interior
• Washing large amounts of dishware with tomato based
soil can cause a pink/orange appearance. This will not
affect performance and will gradually fade over time.
Pre-rinsing or using the Rinse Only cycle will reduce the
chance of staining. Using no heat dry option will lessen
• It is normal for the dishwasher to pause (no sound)
when the wash action is switching between the lower
and middle spray arms.
