Cycle Takes Too Long--
• A water heating option (ie Temp Sense, Sani Temp, Sani Clean, etc.) has been
(Heating
Delay light stays on)
selected and the cycle is extended if the water temperature is low. (See pg. 8)
Check to see that the incoming water temperature is 120°- 140° F (49°-60 ° C)
• Dishes being held for a full load may need to be run through a Rinse &
Hold cycle while waiting
• Many dishwashers
have a "new" smell when first installed
It dissipates
......
Has An Odor
with use.
• A chemical odor is usually the chlorine bleach in dishwashing detergents.
You may want to try another brand.
• Dishwasher
not draining properly. (See "Won't Drain" section.)
• Check that the dishwasher is level. (Refer to the Installation Instructions.)
• Suds can cause the dishwasher to overflow. Measure the detergent care-
fully and use only detergents designed for use in a dishwasher. Less deter-
gent is needed in soft water. Try another brand if sudsing continues.
Leaks
• Follow directions closely on how to add a forgotten item (see pg. 9).
• To avoid rinse aid leaking from the dispenser, be sure the lid is securely
attached.

moisture droplets may be noticed on the door vent in the
area where heated air escapes from the tub. This is normal. If the door is
opened before the droplets have evaporated, they may fall to the floor.
