HOW TO OPERATE YOUR DISHWASHER

Your dishwasher is designed to give maximum
performance on loads with normal and heavy soils.
You may find that many of your dishes have lighter
soils than normal; if this is the case you can save
water and energy by selecting a cycle other than
NORMAL WASH.
NOTE: If dishwasher drains into a food waste
disposal, operate the disposal until it is empty before
starting dishwasher.
Step 1.
Load your dishwasher. (See Loading
section.)
Step 2.
Make sure the Cycle Indicator Dial is at
the OFF position and the door is unlatched. Add
detergent to the detergent dispenser. (See Detergent
Guide.) Use a rinse aid agent to help prevent
spotting. (See How to Use a Rinse Agent section.)
Step 3.
Latch the door.
Step 4.
Select desired wash cycle.
• POTS & PANS—For items such as pots, pans and
casseroles with dried-on or baked-on soils.
Everyday dishes may be included. This cycle will
get heavily soiled dishes cleaner than the normal
cycle. It will not remove burned-on foods.
• NORMAL WASH—For most loads of everyday
dishes, glasses and cookware with medium soils.
Designed to yield high performance on normal soils.
• WATER SAVER—For dishes with light soils. This
cycle uses less water than the other cycles.

Step 5.
Select the desired Energy Options.
• HEATED WASH—Use this option for best
performance with heavily-soiled dishes. When
selected, the wash cycle adds extra heat to the water
for the best washing and drying. (See Cycle
Selection Chart.)
• HEATED DRY—Turns the drying heater on for
fast drying.
• ENERGY SAVER—Shuts off the heating unit,
thus saving energy. Dishes air-dry naturally. It takes
longer but saves energy. You can open the door after
the motor stops to speed drying. Excellent for
overnight drying.
Step 6.
Turn the Cycle Indicator Dial to ON.
• Turning the dial to ON will begin the cycle
immediately. To obtain the benefits of a complete
cycle, be careful that you do not turn the dial any
farther than is necessary to start the dishwasher.
There is a time delay between start-up and water
fill so you will not hear any wash action right away.
