Features and appearance may vary slightly.

STEP 1. Load your dishwasher. See Loading section.

STEP 2. Add detergent to the detergent dispenser. (See Detergent Guide.) For best results use your rinse agent at all times. Not only will it help prevent spotting and provide optimum drying results, but your rinse agent rinses the tub and inner door of your dishwasher which will give it a polished look. See the Rinse Agent section.

STEP 3. The wash arms must be free to move and should not be blocked by an item extending into them.

STEP 4. Latch door.

STEP 5. Push the Cycle Selector dial so that it is extended. Turn the dial to the cycle you desire by lining up the green line on the dial with the Cycle Indicator on the control panel. The dial may be pushed in for flush appearance.

•POTS & PANS—For items such as pots, pans and casseroles with dried-on or baked-on soils. Everyday dishes may be included. Burned-on food and food burned black should be presoaked and scoured. The dishwasher cannot remove burned-on food.

•NORMAL WASH—For loads of everyday dishes, glasses and cookware with medium soils. Designed to yield high performance on normal soils.

•RINSE & DRY—Rinses and dries dusty dishes that are already washed. Don’t use detergent.

•RINSE & HOLD—For rinsing partial loads which will be washed later. Do not use detergent.

STEP 6. To start the dishwasher, press the ON/OFF button. To stop the dishwasher, press the ON/OFF button.

STEP 7. The dishwasher cycle is complete when the dial stops before the next cycle. Clean the filter.

To Interrupt a Cycle

To interrupt a cycle, press the ON/OFF button to stop the operation. If you’re interrupting the cycle during a wash or rinse cycle wait until the water noises stop before opening the door. The cycle may be resumed by closing the door and turning the machine back on. As a safety feature the dishwasher will automatically turn itself off whenever the door is opened. However, if the door is opened quickly while in a wash or rinse cycle some water may splash out of the dishwasher. For this reason it is recommended that the machine always be switched to off before opening the door. If you have used the

ON/OFF button to interrupt the cycle, remember to turn the machine back on by pressing ON/OFF.

Drying

The dishwasher has an energy efficient wash and dry system. The heat energy from the wash cycle is used to dry the dishes. After the wash cycle it will take an additional 45 minutes for a typical load of dishes to dry. Quicker drying can be accomplished by opening the door slightly. The use of a rinse agent is recommended. It will improve drying and lessen water spotting.
