Start-Up/Quick Reference - Kenmore 1469 Use & Care Manual

Removable Filters Provide Peak Performance
Cleaning the filters
periodically helps keep the
dishwasher working at peak
performance. The filters
can be found at the bottom
center of your dishwasher.
See Cleaning the Filters for
information on removing
and maintaining the filters.
Drying - Rinse Aid Is Essential
You must use a drying agent
such as rinse aid for good
drying performance (sample
included). Rinse aid along
with the Extra Dry option
will provide best drying and
avoid excessive moisture in
the dishwasher interior.
Express Wash - When You Need Fast Results
High Efficiency dishwashers run longer to
save water and energy just as driving a
car slower saves on gas. When you need
fast results, the Express Wash cycle will
clean your dishes using slightly more water
and energy. For improved drying, select
the Extra Dry option to add additional
time to dry.
SmartWash ® Cycle
SmartWash ® provides improved results
using only the amount of water and
energy needed. The SmartWash ® and
Pots & Pans cycles are recommended for
tough soil.

Adding Dishes
The dishwasher will start automatically, after a slight delay,
when the door is closed and latched. During the cycle, the
display will indicate the estimated time remaining for the cycle
and options selected. If the door is opened during the cycle,
the dishwasher will stop. When the door is closed, the cycle will
resume from the point where it was stopped.
Measuring Detergent
It is possible to use too much detergent in your dishwasher. This
can lead to etching of your dishes. See "Detergent and Rinse
Aid" to determine the amount of detergent needed based on
your water hardness. High quality dishwasher detergent tablets
or packs have been proven to be better than powdered, liquid,
or gel detergents at reducing filming on dishes.
