START-UP GUIDE

Before using your dishwasher, remove all hang tags, temporary labels, and packaging materials. Read this entire Use and Care Guide. You will find important safety information and useful operating tips.

Using Your New Dishwasher

1.Scrape large food soil and hard items (toothpicks or bones) from dishes.

2.Properly load the dishwasher. (See “Loading Your Dishwasher.”) Make sure nothing prevents the spray arm(s) from spinning freely.

3.Add detergent and check the rinse aid dispenser. Add rinse aid if needed. (See “Using Your Dishwasher.”)

4.Push door firmly closed. The door latches automatically. Run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the water is hot. (See “Dishwasher Efficiency Tips.”) Turn off water.

5.Press the desired cycle and option selections. (See “Using Your Dishwasher.”) Press START.

LOADING YOUR

DISHWASHER

Loading Suggestions

Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard items from the dishes. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. 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.

Load dishes so soiled surfaces face the spray (down or inward). It is important for the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces.

Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping if possible. For best drying, water must be able to drain from all surfaces.

Load heavy pots and pans carefully. 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.

Run a rinse cycle to keep dishes moist if you do not plan to wash them soon. Foods like eggs, rice, pasta, spinach, and cooked cereals may be hard to remove if they are left to dry over a period of time.

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.

Starting with design, both models feature a sleek, modern aesthetic that can seamlessly integrate into any kitchen environment. The stainless steel finish not only contributes to a sophisticated look but also offers durability and resistance to fingerprints, ensuring that your dishwasher maintains its immaculate appearance over time.
