Additional Tips
Expect longer wash times. Your new dishwasher will
average 2-3 hours per load, but use nearly 40% less
energy than older models. Designed with a low wattage,
low energy consumption motor, your dishwasher
washes longer to ensure exceptional cleaning. Certain
models are equipped with an optical water sensor so the
first cycle will run longer to calibrate to optical sensor.
Selecting certain options could increase cycle time past
3.5 hours.
Rinse Aid is necessary for good drying results:
This dishwasher is designed to be used with rinse aid for
good drying performance and controlling hard water
deposit buildup. Energy efficient dishwashers use less
water and energy, so they depend on the water sheeting
action of rinse aid for good drying performance.
Start/Resume light may flash:
When pressing Start/Resume, you must make sure the
door is closed within 3 seconds. If you do not close the
door within 3 seconds, the Start/Resume light will flash
until you press it again. (You must also do this when
adding a dish during the middle of a cycle.)
NOTE: If a braided supply hose is used, replace inlet hose
after 5 years to reduce the risk of hose failure. Record
hose installation or replacement dates on the hose for
future reference.
