KitchenAid KUDI01DL manual START-UP Guide, Using Your New Dishwasher

START-UP GUIDE

Before using your dishwasher, remove all 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 “Dishwasher Loading.”) 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 “Dishwasher Use.”)

4.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 on the top of the dishwasher door. (See “Dishwasher Use.”)

6.Push door firmly closed. The door latches automatically.

7.Press the Start pad on the front of the dishwasher door. Or press the Start pad to repeat the same cycle and options as the previous cycle.

The lights on the top control panel will turn off and the cycle will begin. If the door is opened during the cycle, the cycle and option lights will turn back on.

NOTE: If the dishwasher is not started within 30 seconds after closing the door, the cycle and options will revert to the last cycle and options completed.

IMPORTANT:

■When the cycle starts, you will see a rotating pattern of lights in the display window indicating that the unit is operating.

This pattern will continue for up to 6 minutes while the multiple sensors check the incoming water temperature, rinse aid usage and soil level on dishes and cookware. The sensors then determine the ideal cycle for your dish load. After sensing is complete, the display will show the number of minutes left in the cycle and the cycle countdown will begin.

■The cycle countdown pauses and the water heating light glows while the dishwasher heats the water to a set temperature. (See “Cycle Selection Chart.”)
