WHAT TO DO
• Detergent cup opening.
• The motor starting during the drying period.
• Water draining out of the tub immediately
after you start the dishwasher.
• Make sure everything is secured in
dishwasher.
• Dishwasher has not been used on a regular
basis. If you do not use your dishwasher
often, set it to fill and pump out once every
week. This will help keep the seal moist.
• Dishwasher control was not advanced properly
to the start of the desired cycle. Advance the
control to the start of the desired cycle.
• Reposition the dishes.
• If you have an air gap, clean it.
• Check to see if your kitchen sink is draining
well. If not, you may need a plumber.
• If the dishwasher drains into a disposer, run
disposer clear.
• A small amount of clean water around the
outlet of the tub bottom at the back of the
tub keeps the water seal lubricated.
• Use only automatic dishwasher detergents
Cascade
detergents have been approved for use
in all Monogram dishwashers.
• To remove suds from the tub, open the
dishwasher and let suds evaporate.
• Always wipe up rinse agent spills
immediately.
• Some detergents contain colorant (pigment
or dyes) that will discolor the tub interior with
extended use. Check the detergent cup for signs
of any discoloration. If cup is discolored, change
to detergent without any colorant. Cascade
dishwashing detergents have been approved
for use in all Monogram dishwashers.
• Use of the RINSE ONLY cycle after adding
the dish to the load can decrease the level
of staining.
