Start-Up / Quick Reference - KitchenAid Architect Series II KUDE60FX User Manual

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"
for information on removing
and maintaining the filters.
IMPORTANT: Do not block detergent dispenser.
Tall items placed in the lower
rack may block the dispenser
door. Cookie sheets and
cutting boards loaded on the
left-hand side of the
dishwasher can easily block
the dispenser. If detergent is
inside of the dispenser or on
the bottom of the tub after the
cycle is complete, the
dispenser was blocked.
Drying - Rinse Aid is essential.
You must use a drying agent
such as a rinse aid for good
drying performance (sample
included). Rinse aid along
with the Heat Dry or ProDry ™
option will provide best drying
and avoid excessive moisture
in the dishwasher interior.
1 Hour Wash - When you need fast results.
Efficient dishwashers run longer to save water
and energy, just like driving a car slower saves
on gas. When you need fast results, the
1 Hour Wash will clean your dishes using
slightly more water and energy. Select the
™
Heat Dry or ProDry option to speed drying
times (adds approximately 27 to 35 minutes
.
to the 1 Hour Wash cycle)
