• The countdown display (select models) and the delay indicator flash after a delay is

 

 

selected until the START/Cancel pad is pressed.

 

 

• All active display indicators flash if the door is opened during a running cycle or delay.

 

• The currently selected cycle flashes if an attempt is made to change the cycle after

•

Select Extra Rinse (select models).

 

 

• Check water temperature. Incoming water should be 120° F (49° C).

 

 

• Always use a rinse aid.

 

 

•

Confirm that the cloudiness is removable by soaking the item in white vinegar for

 

 

approximately 5 minutes. If removed, the problem is due to hard water. Adjust

 

 

detergent amount being used to match water hardness (pg. 5). Be sure detergent is

 

 

fresh, stored properly and is a high quality brand.

 

 

• If cloudiness is not removable, it is etching. This is an erosion of the surface of the

 

 

glassware and can be caused by water that is too hot, from using too much detergent

 

 

or by prewashing. Detergent needs food soil to act upon. If etching has occurred, the

 

 

glassware is permanently damaged. To prevent further etching, adjust the detergent

 

 

amount to match the water hardness, stop prewashing, and use water heating options

 

 

only when incoming water temperature is below 120° F (49° C).

Check water temperature. Incoming water should be 120° F (49° C).

 

 

• Run hot water at the sink before starting the dishwasher.

 

 

• Select Extra Wash option.

 

 

• Check water hardness and adjust detergent amount accordingly (pg. 5).

 

 

• Use fresh detergent stored in a cool dry place.

 

 

• Select proper cycle for the soil level (pg. 6).

 

 

• Make sure the upper rack wash arm connector is correctly aligned in one of the water

 

 

inlet holes (pg. 4).

 

 

• Load items so they do not block the wash arms (pg. 3-4).

 

 

• Load the utensil basket with knife handles up and spoon and fork handles down.

 

• Do not place glasses over tines.

 

 

• Prior to loading, scrape off burnt on foods and wipe the starchy film from utensils used with

 

 

pasta, rice and oatmeal. These soils require more energy than the rest of the load to clean.

Iron deposits in the water can leave a yellow, brown or orange film on dishes or the

• Separate silver or silver-plated silverware from stainless steel. These metals can be

 

 

damaged by contact with each other during washing.

 

 

• Color from tomato sauces may adhere to the interior parts of the dishwasher (pg. 10).

 

 

If light staining has occurred, leave the door open to oxidize the stain away. Use a

 

 

dishwasher detergent that contains chlorine to better fight staining.
