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 sprayed onto the dishes. Soiled water is  
pumped out and replaced iwth clean water during a cylce. The number of water fills depends upon the cycle being used.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
Dish Preparation  
Energy Options  
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.  
Hi-Temp Wash Option  
When HI-TEMP WASH ON option is selected, the dishwasher  
heats the water in the main wash to approximately 140°F  
(60°C).  
This increase in water temperature helps dishwasher  
detergent remove food grease and soil from dishes more  
effectively and aids in drying. HI-TEMP WASH option can be  
used with all cycles except CHINA CRYSTAL and RINSE ONLY.  
HI-TEMPWASHisautomaticallyprovidedwhenHEAVYWASH  
cycle is selected.  
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.  
To turn off the HI-TEMP WASH option, press the pad a  
secondtime.  
• Load dishes facing the center of the rack so that the  
water spray from the rotating spray arm can reach  
soiled surfaces.  
• Be sure large items do not block the detergent  
dispenser, preventing it from opening during the wash  
cycle.  
Air Dry Option  
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 uit will not energize the  
heating element. This will reduce energy consumption, but  
reducedryingperformance.  
• To be sure an item is dishwasher safe, read the  
manufacturer’scareinstructions.  
• If the dishwasher drains into a food disposer, be sure  
disposeriscompletelyemptybefore  
dishwasher is started.  
• To save energy, wash full loads.  
Delay Start  
The DELAY START option allows you to automatically delay  
starting your dishwasher from 2 - 4 hours.  
• For best washing results, load correctly and avoid  
overloading.  
Make cycle selections, press the DELAY START key until the  
desired delay LED is it, then close the door and the delay  
time will start.  
To cancel the delay and start the cycle before the delay  
period is over, open the door and press the START/CANCEL  
key. Close the door and the cycle will start.

DISHWASHER DISPENSER & DETERGENTS  
Filling the Detergent Dispenser  
Use only fresh automatic dishwashing detergent.  
Other detergents will cause oversudsing.  
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  
opens automatically to release detergent.  
Add detergent just before starting cycle.  
Store detergent in a cool, dry location. Moist or  
caked detergent will not dissolve properly.  
Do not fill both washcups, unless you have very hard  
water, see chart below*.  
How much Detergent to use  
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.  
Cover

CAUTION  
The use of industrial grade detergent can damage the  
heating coil and other parts of the dishwasher leading to  
damage to the unit and surrounding property. Use only  
household grade automatic dishwasher detergents.  
Cover Latch  
Pre Wash Cup  
NOTE  
Note: If the cover is closed on the Main Wash  
Cup, open by pressing the cover latch.  
Try adding more detergent at the beginning of the main  
wash portion of the cycle. As a rule, use 1 teaspoon for  
each grain above 12. Unlatch the door, open slowly and  
add detergent to the bottom of the tub. Close the door to  
latch and the dishwasher will continue through the cycle.

FACTORS AFFECTING PERFORMANCE  
Rinse 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.  
Water 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.  
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.  
Do not overfill since this can cause oversudsing. Wipe up  
any spills with a damp cloth.  
To check water temperature entering dishwasher:  
Turn on hot water faucet nearest dishwasher for  
several minutes to clear cool water from pipes.  
The dispenser holds enough for 35 to 140 washes,  
depending on setting.  
• Hold a candy or meat thermometer in stream of  
water to check the temperature.  
• If temperature is below 120°F (49°C), have a  
qualified person raise the hot water heater  
thermostat setting.

CARE AND CLEANING  
CAUTION  
Property Damage Hazard  
Freezing temperatures may cause water lines to  
rupture. Be sure all supply lines to and circulating lines  
within dishwasher are protected. Failure to do so could  
result in property damage.  
Cleaning the Spray Arm  
The spray arm may need to be cleaned to insure that  
there are no clogs to the spray arm jets and bearings  
due to hard water chemicals.  
To remove spray arm simply hold the spray arm in place  
and turn the retaining nut clockwise and pull up on the

To replace the spray arm simply set the spray arm on  
the shaft, take the retaining nut and turn it counter  
clockwise till it has locked into place.  
Cleaning the Filter  
For optimum performance, your dishwasher is equipped  
with a filter assembly featuring a main filter, cup and  
fine filter as shown in the drawing above. All food  
fragments are removed from the dishwasher as water  
passes through the filter assembly.  
Each part of the assembly should be cleaned often to  
ensure that all food fragments are removed from the  
dishes. To remove food fragments from the filter  
assembly, the filters must be removed from the  
dishwasher. To remove the filters, pull up on the edge  
of the main filter. Next, rinse the main filter and fine  
filter under running water. Cleaning with a brush may  
also be necessary to remove any fragments trapped in  
the filters. Once cleaning has been completed, simply  
reassemble the filter as shown in the drawing above. To  
ensure that the filter is fully seated, please press down  
on the top of the main filter. Using the dishwasher

glasses in direct contact with other items. Place glasses  
securely against pins.  
information on correct wash cycle, proper loading, water  
temperature, water pressure, hard water, amount of  
detergent, old and ineffective detergent, and dish  
placement. To maximize wash performance clean the  
filter of all large food particles after each wash. To  
ensure that you clean the filter correctly refer to page  
12.  
Crazing of older china and pottery  
happens when items are subjected to very hot water.  
Once crazing (fine cracks in the glaze) appears, it cannot  
be removed. Do not machine wash again or condition  
may worsen.  
Dishes not drying can be greatly improved by  
using a rinse aid and hot water. Hot water raises  
temperature of dishes to speed up drying. When loading,  
invert cups and bowls so that water can run off. Avoid  
nesting of articles. If dishes are not completely dry at  
end of cycle (which may occur when COOL DRY setting is  
used), open door, roll out racks, and allow dishes to air  
dry.  
Coffee and tea stains can occur when water  
contains traces of iron. To avoid stains, rinse cups out  
immediately after use. Increase amount of detergent and  
use a rinse aid. Water temperature should be  
approximately 140°F (60°C). If problem persists, install a  
water softener with an iron removal unit. To remove  
stains, hand wash cups in solution of 1/2 cup (120 ml)  
bleach and a quart (1 L) of warm water. Rinse  
thoroughly.  
Spotting—Spots form when hard water droplets  
evaporate leaving a deposit. Low phosphate detergents  
increase the problem in hard water. To prevent, use hot  
water and a detergent with a higher level of phosphates  
(preferably 8.7% or higher), or use more of a low  
phosphate detergent. Be sure to use a rinse aid. If water  
is very hard, it may be necessary to install a water  
softener. Load glasses and plates so they have minimum  
contact with racks and pins. Avoid overloading. Spotting  
will occur where dishes and glasses touch.  
Gray-black stains on dishes are caused  
by manganese in water supply. To correct, install a  
manganese filtering system into house water supply.  
Reddish-brown stains on dishes,  
glasses and interior are caused by iron in  
water. To avoid iron stain, increase detergent, use water  
heated to approximately 140°F (60°C) and a rinse aid. It  
may be necessary to install a water softener with an iron  
removal unit. To improve appearance, use a commercial  
rust and lime scale remover.  
Cloudy films and streaking are usually  
caused by a combination of hard water and an  
insufficient amount of detergent. Low phosphate  
detergents are also a factor. To correct, increase  
amount of detergent, check water temperature and  
always use a rinse aid. If water is very hard, it may be  
necessary to install a water softener.  
Plastic items can lose their shape due to high  
temperatures of automatic dishwashing. Read labels  
before washing. Place washable items in top rack away  
from heating element.  
Etched film on glassware is caused by  
using too much detergent in soft or softened water. This  
film cannot be removed. It is more likely to occur on soft  
leaded glass or expensive crystal. An early warning of  
this condition is a cloudy iridescent appearance on  
glasses. To prevent, be sure dishwasher is getting a full  
fill of water. Water should reach base of heating  
element. If water level is low, have water pressure  
checked by a plumber. Use less detergent and make sure  
water temperature is not higher than 150°F (66°C).  
Underload to assure thorough rinsing. Use the COOL DRY  
Option.  
Discoloration of plasticware by some  
foods, such as tomato sauce, can stain plasticware. If  
stained, soak item in solution of 1 tablespoon dishwasher  
detergent and a quart of hot water or in a solution of 1/2  
cup (120 ml) bleach and a quart (1 L) of hot water.  
Fading of patterns and metallic  
trimis due to many washings, detergent and hot  
water. Most of today’s china is dishwasher safe.  
Antique, handpainted china, and handpainted pottery  
should be washed by hand.

Noise problems?  
It is normal to hear swishing and pulsating sounds.  
Tarnish on silver plate occurs when worn  
down to the base metal and turns a bronze color when  
exposed to hot water and detergent. Remove bronzing  
by soaking item in vinegar for 10 minutes or use a silver  
polish. For permanent protection, have silver replated.  
These sounds mean that water is circulating through the  
dishwasher.  
It is normal to hear motor sounds before water enters  
tub.

Silver tarnish can be caused by prolonged  
contact with air or with foods containing sulphur like  
eggs, mayonnaise, or seafood. Contact with undissolved  
detergent can also cause tarnish. To prevent this, rinse  
silver soon after use. Use care not to pour detergent  
directly onto silver. Remove tarnish with a silver polish.  
Vibrating or rattling sounds can mean dishes are

Operating problems?  
Be sure door is firmly closed. It is normal for dishwasher  
to pause between cycles.  
Discoloration of stainless steel—  
Food soil can create a film or discoloration. To avoid,  
rinse stainless items promptly. Food soil films can be  
removed with a stainless steel cleanser or mild cleanser.  
Rinse thoroughly.  
Leaking?  
Check for items sticking out of dishwasher that could  
prevent door from closing and sealing properly. Use only  
freshdishwashingdetergenttoavoidoversudsing.  
Pitting of stainless steel is caused by  
prolonged contact with detergent granules and foods like  
salt, mayonnaise, fruits, butter or milk. To prevent, rinse  
soon after use. Do not allow detergent to fall directly  
onto stainless steel items.  
Water coming through door vents? When a dish is added  
after starting dishwasher, wait a few seconds before  
latching door. This permits entering cold air to expand  
slowly inside dishwasher.
