Care and Cleaning continued

Property Damage Hazard

Freezing temperatures may cause water lines to rupture. Be sure all supply lines to and circulating lines within dishwasher are protected.

Failure to do so could result in property damage.

A dishwasher that will not be used for an extended length of time or is located where temperatures may fall below freezing must be winterized.

Winterizing the Portable/Convertible Dishwasher

1.Connect coupler and hose assembly to faucet. Do not turn on water.

2.Plug the electrical cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet.

3.Pour one gallon of nontoxic RV or Marine water system antifreeze (available from a hardware or recreational vehicle store) into bottom of tub.

4.Set for any wash cycle. Close door. Allow dishwasher to run for 3 minutes. This will distribute antifreeze into dishwasher’s water system.

5.Unplug the electrical cord.

6.Disconnect hoses from water supply and drain water from hoses. Return hoses to storage compartment.

Winterizing the Built-in Dishwasher

1.Turn off water supply.

2.Pour one gallon of nontoxic RV or Marine water system antifreeze (available from a hardware or recreational vehicle store) into bottom of tub.

3.Set for any wash cycle. Close door. Allow dishwasher to run for 3 minutes to distribute antifreeze into dishwasher’s water system.

Before unit is put back into use, antifreeze must be removed. To remove, fill both detergent cups with dishwasher detergent and operate through a complete normal cycle without dishes.

One of the standout features of the Frigidaire 18-inch dishwasher is its versatility. The built-in version seamlessly integrates into cabinetry, providing a sleek, unobtrusive look.

Performance is a key consideration, and Frigidaire does not disappoint. Both models utilize a high-efficiency wash system that delivers powerful cleaning cycles. With multiple wash cycles and options, users can tailor each wash to their specific needs, whether that be for heavily soiled pots and pans or delicate glassware. The dishwashers are designed with a stainless steel interior that not only enhances durability but also contributes to superior drying performance, leaving dishes spotless and free of residue.

The advanced technology features prominent in these dishwashers include the OrbitClean wash system, which maximizes cleaning coverage by using rotating spray arms. Additionally, the Energy Star certification assures users of energy efficiency, helping to reduce utility bills while being mindful of environmental impact.

Another characteristic that stands out is the noise level. The Frigidaire 18-inch dishwashers operate at a remarkably quiet decibel level, allowing for operation at any time without disrupting household activities. Some models also feature a delay-start option, enabling users to set the washer to run during off-peak hours for added convenience.

User-friendly controls and an easy-to-read LED display make it simple to select the desired settings. The attractive design, coupled with a reliable performance record, has made Frigidaire a trusted name in dishwashing solutions.

In conclusion, whether you choose the built-in or portable model, the Frigidaire 18-inch dishwashers deliver on all fronts—performance, energy efficiency, space-saving design, and advanced technology—making them a worthy investment for modern kitchens.
