WHAT TO DO
•Each pad must be touched within 30 seconds
of the other controls. To relight, touch
any pad again, or unlock and relatch door.
•Soft food disposal shredding action.
•Drain valve opening to pump water out.
•Timer control as cycle progresses.
•Detergent cup opening.
•The motor stopping during the drying
period.
•Water draining out of the tub immediately
after you touch START/RESET pad.
•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 and the garbage disposer clear.
•Reposition the dishes.
•Open the door and press the
START/RESET pad three times within
two seconds. The detergent cup will trip.
•A small amount of clean water around
the outlet on the tub bottom at the back
of the tub keeps the water seal lubricated.
•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.
•Use only automatic dishwasher detergents
to avoid sudsing.
•To remove suds from the tub, open the
dishwasher and let suds evaporate. Add
1 gallon of cold water to the tub. Close
the door until it locks into place. Pump
out water by pressing START/RESET,
then immediately press START/RESET
again. Repeat if necessary.
•Always wipe up rinse agent spills
immediately.
