Dishwasher Features
Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot water and detergent through the spray arms against
soiled surfaces. Each cycle begins with a pre-drain. Next, the dishwasher fills with water covering the filter
area. Water is then pumped through the filter and spray arms. Soil particles go down the drain as the water is
pumped out and replaced with clean water. The number of water fills will vary with the cycle being used.

Operating Instructions
Appearance may vary from your model.
Getting Started
1. Load dishwasher (See Preparing and Loading
Dishes).
Very Important
Information—Read Before
OperatingYourDishwasher!
2. Add detergent (See Dishwasher Dispenser &
Detergents).
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.
Normal Operating
Sounds
This dishwasher does not sound like most
dishwashers—IT'S QUIETER.
7. Run hot water faucet nearest dishwasher until
water is hot. Turn water off.
8. To start, press START/CANCEL pad.
Your 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.
Note: 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.
The next sound you will hear is the splashing
water as it enters the tub. Then the spray arms
rotate and circulate water.
Wash Cycle Selections
Note: 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
timer will be delayed for automatic water heating in
the main wash 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 guaranteed to
handle heavier soil loads.
PLEASE BE ADVISED: If you compare this
dishwasher to previous models, you may be
surprised at what you DON'T hear!

Delay Start
The DELAY START option allows you to
automatically delay starting your dishwasher from
1-24 hours.
Options Selections
Hi-Temp Wash
When HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, the
dishwasher heats water in the main wash to
approximately 140°F (60°C).
On models with 1-24 hour delay, press the DELAY
START pad until the desired delay time shows in
the STATUS window. A light will come on
indicating the delay start hours and will remain on
until cycle starts.
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 (some models) and
RINSE and HOLD. HI-TEMP WASH is automati-
cally provided when POTS & PANS cycle is se-
lected.
To cancel the DELAY START option and begin the
cycle before the delay period is over, press the
START/CANCEL pad.
To Cancel a Cycle
When HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, the light
above the pad will come on and remain on until end
of cycle. To turn off the HI-TEMP WASH option,
press the pad a second time. The light above the
pad will turn off.
You can cancel a cycle anytime during the cycle.
Press START/CANCEL pad and the dishwasher
will start a 60 second drain. At the end of the drain,
select the desired cycle.
Heat Dry
The HEAT DRY option in combination with rinse aid
will enhance drying performance. The energy
required to use the HEAT DRY option costs
pennies per cycle. You may choose not to select
the HEAT DRY option; however you will have items
in your dish load that will not be completely dry at
the end of the cycle.
You may see water vapor coming from the vent
during the drying portion of cycle. The drying option
may be changed at any time during the cycle and
affects only the drying period.
Opening the door longer than one minute during
the dry cycle cancels the selected dry program.

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 opens automatically to release
detergent.
The amount of detergent to use depends on the
water hardness. Water hardness is measured in
grainspergallon. Usingtoolittledetergentcanresult
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.
•
Use only fresh automatic dishwashing
detergent. Other detergents will cause
oversudsing.
•
When using automatic dishwashing detergent
tabs, place one tab in main wash cup and
close.

& Detergents (continued)
Factors Affecting
Performance
Rinse Aid
Water Pressure
The hot water line to dishwasher must provide
water pressure between 20 and 120 psi.
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.
Low water pressure may occur when laundry or
showers are in operation. 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. On models with
a STATUS window, LO will appear at the end of
the cycle indicating that 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 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 stream of
water to check the temperature.
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.
• If temperature is below 120°F (49°C), have a
qualified person raise the hot water heater
thermostat setting.
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.
Important: Before starting a cycle, run hot
water to clear cool water from pipe.
Dispenser Opening
Indicator
The HEAT DRY option in combination with
rinse aid will enhance drying performance. The
energy required to use the HEAT DRY option
costs pennies per cycle. You may choose not
to select the HEAT DRY option; however you
will have items in your dish load that will not be
completely dry at the end of the cycle.

Care and Cleaning
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,rotate the
cup counterclockwise to remove cup and main
filter. Next, rinse the main filter and fine filter under
running water.
Burn Hazard
Allow heating element to cool
before cleaning the interior.
Failure to do so can result in
burns.
Outside—Occasionally wipe with a mild
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 without a properly installed filter is
not recommended as it will reduce the
nonabrasive detergent and water. Rinse and dry.
Models with Stainless Steel Door—
Clean outer door with warm soapy water and a
dishcloth or sponge. Rinse with clean water and a
dry cloth. Do not use harsh cleaners.
Inside—The inside of the dishwasher is self-
cleaning with normal use. If needed, clean around
the tub gasket area with a damp cloth.
cleaning efficiency and may damage dishware.
Note: Hard water may cause lime deposit buildup
on the interior of the dishwasher. For cleaning
instructions see “Removing Spots and Film”
section.
Care of Drain Air Gap
If a drain air gap was installed for your built-in
dishwasher, check to make sure it is clean so the
dishwasher will drain properly. A drain air gap is
usually mounted on countertop and can be
inspected by removing the cover. This is not part
of your dishwasher and is not covered by
warranty.
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.

Removing Spots and Film
Properly
Hard water can cause lime deposit buildup on
the interior of the dishwasher. Dishes and
glasses may also get spots and film for a
number of reasons. (See Glassware/Flatware
Spotted or Cloudy section.) To remove buildup,
spots and film, clean using the following
instructions:
• If unit is hooked up to a food waste disposer,
make sure the disposer is empty.
• 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.
1. Load clean dishes and glasses in normal
manner. Do not load any metal utensils or
silverware.
Cycle Takes a Long Time
• Is cycle in a water heating delay?
2. Do not add detergent.
3. Select the NORMAL WASH cycle. Close
and latch door. Press START/CANCEL
pad.
• Has the delay start option been selected?
Dishwasher Won’t Fill
4. Allow dishwasher to run until it starts the
second water fill (approximately 10
minutes).

• Does overfill protector move up and down
freely? (See Overfill Protector section.)
5. Unlatch and open door and pour 2 cups of
white vinegar into the bottom of
dishwasher.
6. Close and latch door and allow cycle to
finish.
Dishwasher Has an Odor
• Soiled dishes left in dishwasher too long
can create an odor. Use Rinse & Hold cycle.
• There will be a “new” smell when first
installed. This is normal.
Note: If these conditions persist, a home water
softener should be considered.
• Check to see if unit is draining properly.
(See Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly.)
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 & Hold cycle will
reduce the chance of staining. Using no
heat dry option will lessen staining.
