OPERATION
NOTE: Fill amounts shown
are for standard powdered
detergent. Follow
instructions on the package
when using other dishwasher
detergent types.
Premeasured forms are suitable for all hardness and soil levels.
Always place premeasured detergents in the main compartment
and close the lid.
Add Rinse Aid
Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid for good drying
I
performance. Without rinse aid your dishes and dishwasher
interior will have excessive moisture. The heat dry option will
not perform as well without rinse aid.
Rinse aid keeps water from forming droplets that can
I
dry as spots or streaks. They also improve drying by
allowing water to drain off of the dishes after the final
rinse.
Rinse aid helps to reduce excess moisture on the dish
I
racks and interior of your dishwasher.
Check the rinse aid indicator. Add rinse aid when indicator
I
drops to "Add" level.
To add rinse aid, turn the dispenser cap
I
to "Refill" and lift off. Pour rinse aid into
the opening until the indicator level is at
"Full." Replace the dispenser cap and
turn to "Lock." Make sure cap is fully
locked.
NOTE: For most water conditions, the
factory setting of 2 will give good
results. If you have hard water or notice
rings or spots, try a higher setting. Turn
the arrow adjuster inside the dispenser
by either using your fingers or inserting
a flat-blade screwdriver into the center
of the arrow and turning.

Select a Cycle (cycles vary by model)
See "Cycle and Option Descriptions" charts in the following
section.
Efficient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy, just as
driving a car slower saves on gas. Typical cycle time is
approximately 2¹⁄₂ hours, but can take less or more time to
complete depending on selections.
Select Options (options vary by model)
See "Cycle and Option Descriptions" charts in the following
section.
You can customize your cycles by pressing the options desired. If
you change your mind, press the option again to turn off the option.
Not all options are available for every cycle. If an invalid option is
selected for a given cycle, the lights will flash.
Start or Resume a Cycle
Run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the
I
water is hot. Turn off water.
Press START/RESUME once to show which
I
selections you used. Select the wash cycle and
options desired OR press START/RESUME to repeat
the same cycle and options as in the previous wash
cycle.
IMPORTANT: If anyone opens the door (such as, for adding a dish,
even during the Delay Hours option), the Start/Resume button
must be pressed each time.
If the Start/Resume button is located on top of door, push door
I
firmly closed within 3 seconds of pressing START/RESUME. If
the door is not closed within 3 seconds, the Start/Resume
button LED will flash, an audible tone will be heard, and the
cycle will not start.
