Check Operation
■Read the Dishwasher User Instructions that came with your dishwasher.
■Check that all parts have been installed and no steps were skipped. Check that you have all tools used.
■Start dishwasher and allow it to complete the shortest wash cycle. After the first 2 minutes, unlatch door, wait 5 seconds, then open door. Check that there is water in the bottom of the dishwasher tub. Check that dishwasher is working properly.
If the dishwasher is not working properly, disconnect power or unplug dishwasher and see “If Dishwasher Does Not Operate” section.

Additional Tips
Expect longer wash times. Your new dishwasher will average
Rinse Aid is necessary for good drying results:
This dishwasher is designed to be used with rinse aid for good drying performance and controlling buildup of hard water deposits. Energy efficient dishwashers use less water and energy, so they depend on the water sheeting action of rinse aid for good drying performance.
Start/Resume light may flash:
When pressing Start/Resume, you must make sure the door is closed within 3 seconds. If you do not close the door within
3 seconds, the Start/Resume light will flash until you press it again. (You must also do this when adding a dish during the middle of a cycle.)
NOTE: If a braided supply hose is used, replace inlet hose after
5 years to reduce the risk of hose failure. Record hose installation or replacement dates on the hose for future reference.
