Using the Faucet

You can draw water from the faucet while the dishwasher
is connected.
NOTE: Do not draw water while the dishwasher is filling or
while water is being pumped out. (This helps avoid a low
fill when dishwasher is filling or mixing drain water with
fresh water when dishwasher is draining.)
Press the red button on the hose connector to draw water
from the faucet. (The faucet is set on hot. Adjust the faucet
for the water temperature you want.)
NOTE: Turn the hot water back on after you draw water
from the faucet. Turn off the cold water.

Loading Suggestions

Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other
■
hard items from the dishes. It is not necessary to rinse
the dishes before putting them into the dishwasher.
NOTE: Prerinsing dishes soiled with tomato-based
products is recommended to avoid staining the
dishware.
The wash module removes food particles from the
water.
It is important for the water spray to reach all soiled
■
surfaces.
Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping, if
■
possible. For best drying, water must be able to drain
from all surfaces.
Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie
■
sheets, etc., do not interfere with the spray arm
rotation.
■ Run a rinse cycle to keep dishes moist if you do not
plan to wash them soon. Foods such as eggs, rice,
pasta, spinach, and cooked cereals may be hard to
remove if they are left to dry over a period of time.
Quiet operating tips
To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation:
Make sure lightweight load items are secured in the
■
racks.
Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie
■
sheets, etc., do not touch interior walls or interfere with
the rotation of the spray arm.
Load dishes so they do not touch one another.
