Run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the
water is hot. (See "Dishwasher Efficiency Tips.") Turn off
water.
Press the desired cycle and option selections. (See
"Dishwasher Use.")
Press START. The selected cycle and option lights will flash
once.
8. Push door firmly closed. The door latches automatically.
NOTE: If the dishwasher is not started before closing the
door, the cycle and options will revert to the last cycle and
options completed.
Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard
items from the dishes. To conserve water, energy and save
time it is not necessary to rinse dishes before putting them in
the dishwasher.
NOTE: Dishes soiled with tomato-based products should be
pre-rinsed to avoid staining.
The wash module removes food particles from the water. The
module contains a chopping device which will reduce the size
of food items.
NOTE: If hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts, and egg shells
enter the wash module, you might hear chopping, grinding,
crunching, or buzzing sounds. These sounds are normal
when hard items enter the module. Do not let metallic items
(such as pot handle screws) get into the wash module.
Damage can occur.
• For best drying, water must be able to drain from all surfaces.
• It is important for the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces.
• Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping if
possible.
• Use special care when loading heavy pots and pans. Heavy
items can dent the stainless steel interior of the door if they
are dropped or bumped.
• Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets,
etc., do not interfere with the spray arm rotation.
Conserve water, energy and save time over hand rinsing by
running a rinse cycle to keep dishes moist if you do not plan
to wash them soon. Foods such as eggs, rice, pasta,
spinach, and cooked cereals may be hard to remove if they
are left to dry over a period of time.
• Place items so open ends face down for best cleaning and
draining.
Quiet operating tips
To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation:
• Make sure lightweight load items are secured in the racks.
• Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets,
etc., do not touch interior walls or interfere with the rotation of
the spray arm.
• Load dishes so they do not touch one another.
NOTE: For built-in models, keep sink drain plugs closed during
dishwasher operation to prevent noise transfer through drains.
