Start-Up - KitchenAid KUDI01IL Consumer Reference Manual

Before using your dishwasher, remove all packaging materials. Read this entire Consumer Reference Guide, as well as the User
Instructions. You will find important safety information and useful operating tips.
For all models:
1. Rinse aid is essential for good drying. Be sure to fill the
dispenser before you use your new dishwasher. Each filling
will last about 1 to 3 months depending on your usage.
2. Scrape large food soil and hard items (toothpicks or bones)
from dishes. You do not need to prerinse your dishes.
3. Properly load the dishwasher. (See "Loading.") Load dishes
with space in between so water will reach the soiled surfaces.
Make sure nothing prevents the spray arm(s) from spinning
freely.
4. Add detergent. Always use a high-quality brand detergent.
(See "Dishwasher Use" in the User Instructions.)
5. Run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the
water is hot. Turn off water.
