HOW TO OPERATE YOUR DISHWASHER
STEP 1. Load your dishwasher with dishes, silverware,
pots, pans, bowls, etc., according to the Loading section.
STEP 2. Add detergent to the detergent dispenser.
Make sure the Cycle Indicator Dial is at OFF position
before adding detergent. (See Detergent Guide).
Use rinse aid agent to help prevent spotting.
Occasionally check to insure that rinse agent container is
at least half full. (See How to Use a Rinse Agent section).
STEP 3. Select drying option.
HEATED DRY. Turns the
drying heater on for fast drying.
ENERGY SAVER (no heat boost).
Turns the drying heater off to save
energy. The dishes will dry naturally
over a longer period such as overnight.
If you need your dishes sooner, open the dishwasher
after the cycle is complete to reduce natural drying time.
Use of this option reduces electrical energy used
by this model approximately 10% for the NORMAL
WASH cycle.
STEP 4. WASH HEAT BOOST Option.
To test water temperature, see "How
To Test Water Temperature section."
The entering water must be between 120°F.
and 140°F. Use the WASH HEAT BOOST
option when water is less that 140°F.
When selected, the wash cycle will be
extended for 21 minutes while the dishwasher
heats the water for good washing and drying.
STEP 5. Select the wash cycle and start the dishwasher.
(See Cycle Selection Hints).
If your dishwasher drains into a food waste
disposer, operate the disposer until it is empty
before starting the dishwasher.
To obtain the benefits of a complete cycle,
be careful that you do not turn the dial any
farther than necessary to start the dishwasher.
