MAIN WASH
5. Push door firmly closed. The door latches
automatically.
6. Run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until
the water is hot. (See "Dishwasher Efficiency Tips.")
Turn off water.
Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other
■
hard items from the dishes. To conserve water and
energy and save time, it is not necessary to rinse
dishes before putting them into the dishwasher.
NOTE: Prerinsing dishes soiled with tomato-based
products is recommended to avoid staining the
dishware.
The wash module removes food particles from the
water. The module contains a triple action filtration
system that intermittently filters soil from the water.
NOTE: If hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts, and
eggshells enter the wash module, you might hear
grinding, crunching, or buzzing sounds. These sounds
are normal when hard items enter the module. To avoid
damage to the dishwasher, do not let metallic items
(such as pot handle screws) get into the wash module.
■ 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.
Load heavy pots and pans gently. Heavy items can
■
damage the interior of the door if they are dropped or
bumped.

■
sheets, etc., do not interfere with the spray arm
rotation.
Conserve water and 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(s).
Load dishes so they do not touch one another.
■
NOTE: For built-in models, keep sink drain plugs closed
during dishwasher operation to avoid noise transfer
through drains.
