Dishwasher Efficiency Tips - Kenmore 1469 Use & Care Manual

Cleaning Instructions
IMPORTANT: Do not use wire brush, scouring pad, etc., as they may damage the filters.
Rinse filter under running water until most soils are removed.
A soft brush may be required to get off hard to remove soil.
Filter Reinstallation Instructions
1. Place the stainless steel filter in the bottom of the dishwasher so the round
opening for the filter assembly lines up with the round opening in the bottom
of the tub.
2. Insert the filter assembly into the circular opening in the stainless steel filter.
3. Slowly rotate the filter assembly clockwise until it drops into place. Continue to
rotate until the arrow on the filter assembly aligns with the arrow on the stainless steel
filter. If the filter is not fully seated (still turns freely), continue to turn the filter clockwise
until it drops and locks into place.
CAUTION: To avoid product damage, do not operate the dishwasher without the filters properly installed.
Make sure the stainless steel filter is securely in place and the filter assembly is locked in place and does not turn freely.
Hot water dissolves and activates the dishwasher detergent. Hot water also dissolves grease on dishes and helps glasses dry
spot-free. For best results, water should be 120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher. Loads may not wash as well if the water
temperature is too low.
■ To save water, energy and time, only scrape dishes. Do not rinse dishes before putting them into the dishwasher.
■ Use a delay feature to run the dishwasher during off-peak hours. Contact your local utility for information on peak usage times,
and avoid running the dishwasher during those times.
■ During the summer, run your dishwasher at night. This reduces daytime heat buildup in the kitchen.
■ Use a rinse aid to improve drying.
