DISHWASHER SAFETY Your safety and the safety of others are very important. We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages. This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

3. Pre-Wash section 4. Cover The larger Main Wash section automatically empties detergent into the dishwasher during the wash. (See the “Cycle Selection Charts.”) Use automatic dishwashing detergent only. Other detergents can produce excessive suds that can overflow out of the dishwasher and reduce washing performance.
To check water temperature 1. Run hot water at the faucet closest to your dishwasher for at least 1 minute. 2. Place a candy or meat thermometer in a glass measuring cup.
NOTE: If the last cycle you completed was a rinse cycle, the dishwasher will run the last full wash cycle and options that you selected when you press Start. If the power is off or the door is open for an extended period of time, the Start button memory will default to the Normal cycle with heated drying.
Press START to repeat the same cycle and options as the previous wash cycle. NOTE: If the last cycle you completed was a rinse cycle, when you press Start, the dishwasher runs the last full wash cycle and options. Hi-Temp Scrub Select this option to raise the water temperature in the main wash, and add a rinse.
Overfill Protection Float The overfill protection float (in the front right corner of the dishwasher tub) keeps the dishwasher from overfilling. It must be in place for the dishwasher to operate. Check under the float for objects that may keep the protector from moving up or down.
The drain air gap is usually located on top of the sink or countertop near the dishwasher. To order a drain air gap call your local dealer, or in the U.S.A., call the Customer Interaction Center and ask for Part Number 300096.
Are dishes washed only every 2 or 3 days? Run a rinse cycle once or twice a day until you have a full load. Does the dishwasher have a new plastic smell? Run a vinegar rinse as described in “Spotting and filming on dishes” later in this Troubleshooting guide.

Is the home water pressure high enough for proper dishwasher filling? Home water pressure should be 20 to 120 psi (138 to 828 kPa) for proper dishwasher fill. A booster pump on the water supply can be added if pressure is too low.
