Preparing Dishes; Before Operation; Option Restrictions - Viking FDB451 Service Manual

Preparing Dishes

It is not necessary to rinse normal food soils off the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher,
although larger solid particles, such as bones, seeds, skins, pits, and toothpicks should be
removed.
Note: All wash times, temperatures and fills are approximate and are dependent on installation
and environmental conditions.
Note: Heating delays to meet set temperatures may extend the cycle times.
Note: Wash time does not include the 30 minute condensate dry time.
If you are not going to run the dishwasher immediately after loading, it is best to rinse salty
and highly acidic foods off stainless steel, silver, and silverplate flatware. Prolonged contact of
foods—including lemon juice, salt, vinegar, mustard, mayonnaise, and salad dressings—with
stainless steel can cause corrosion (pitting).

Before Operation

1. Load the dishes per recommended loading. See section on Loading Dishwasher.
2. Make sure there is rinse agent in the dispenser. Add rinse agent if needed. See section on
Rinse Agent.
3. Add proper amount of detergent and pre-wash. See section on Dishwasher Detergent.
4. Push both top and bottom racks in.
5. Select the desired cycle and option(s).
6. Press "START". The "START" symbol will illuminate to indicate the unit is ready.
7. Close the door tightly until you hear a click. Otherwise, the dishwasher will not start.
