Start-Up/Quick Reference

Clean EQ Wash System removable filters to maintain
peak performance
Cleaning the filters
periodically helps keep the
dishwasher working at peak
performance. The filters can
be found at the bottom center
of your dishwasher.
See "Filtration System"
section for information on
removing and maintaining
the filters.
Drying – Rinse aid is essential
You must use a drying agent
such as a rinse aid for good
drying performance. Rinse
aid along with the Heat Dry,
Extended Heat Dry, ProDry™,
or Extended ProDry™ option
will provide best drying and
avoid excessive moisture in
dishwasher interior.
Express Wash – When you need fast results
Efficient dishwashers run longer to save
water and energy, just as driving a car slower
saves on gas. When you need fast results,
the Express Wash will clean your dishes
using slightly more water and energy. Select
the Heat Dry or ProDry™ option to include
automatic drying (adds approximately 38 to
45 minutes to the Express Wash cycle).
ProWash™ cycle for optimal cleaning
The most advanced and versatile cycle.
ProWash™ cycle senses the soil amount
and toughness of soil to adjust the cycle for
optimal cleaning using only the amount of
water and energy needed. The ProWash™
and Tough cycles are recommended for
tough soil. No need to pre-rinse dishes;
just scrape leftover food into the trash or
disposal and load.
Touch Start/Resume every time you add a dish
IMPORTANT: If anyone opens the door
(such as for adding a dish, even during
the Delay option), Start/Resume must be
touched each time.
Push the door firmly closed within 4 seconds
of touching Start/Resume. If the door is not
closed within 4 seconds, the Start/Resume
keypad LED will flash, an audible tone will be
heard, and the cycle will be canceled.
Proper Detergent Dosing
High-quality premeasured tablets and packs are recommended
for improved performance.
It is possible to use too much detergent in your dishwasher.
This can lead to etching of your dishes. See "Add Detergent"
and "Add Rinse Aid" in the "Dishwasher Use" section, to
determine the amount of detergent needed based on your
water hardness.
