Kenmore 465.1332, 465.1333, 465.1334 manual Before You Start, Rinse Aid

START

Before You Start

•Do not pre-rinse. Simply scrape off any bones or large food particles.

•If you have a food waste disposer make certain that the disposer is empty before starting the dishwasher.

•Periodically check the coarse filter cup and empty if necessary before starting the dishwasher (see page 17).

•Scrape off tomato-based food soils (see page 16).

•Remove certain foods such as mustard, mayonnaise, lemon juice, vinegar, salt or dressings from stainless steel flatware as soon as possible. These foods may

cause rusting and pitting if allowed to remain in contact with the surface of the flatware for an

extended period of time.

Rinse Aid

important: This dishwasher is designed to use a liquid rinse aid. Rinse aid greatly improves drying, reduces spotting and filming, and reduces moisture left on the dishwasher interior by creating a "sheeting" action. Water "sheets" off dishes, preventing drops of water from remaining on dishes and creating spots. Drying performance will improve after several washes using rinse aid.

An automatic rinse aid dispenser is located next to the detergent cup.

An illuminated light on the control panel indicates

when the rinse aid reservoir needs to be refilled. Check the dispenser monthly. To fill and adjust the amount of rinse aid dispensed into the dishwasher, see page 10.

Hot Water

For optimal cleaning and drying results, hot water is necessary. The incoming water temperature should be 120° F (49° C[}to properly activate the detergent and melt greasy food soils.

To check the incoming water temperature, turn on the hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher and let it run

into a glass in the sink. Place a candy thermometer in the glass and check the temperature once it has stopped rising.

Starting the Dishwasher

1.Check that the coarse filter cup is securely in place (see page 17).

2.Load the dishwasher and add detergent.

3.Select the desired cycle and options by pressing the pads on the control panel. The indicator lights for the

selected cycle and options will illuminate. To cancel a cycle or select another cycle, press the Cancel/Drain pad. To cancel an option, press the option pad again, or press the Cancel/Drain pad.

. To start a cycle, press the StarUResume pad once, then close the drawer. After a brief pause, the cycle will begin. To prevent unplanned cycle or option changes, these selections are "locked in" after the initial fill is complete.

Notes:

•If Start/Resume is not pressed within 30 seconds of choosing a cycle, the dishwasher will turn off.

•Press the Start/Resume pad once, then close the drawer. Drawer must be closed within 3

seconds after pushing Start/Resume or the lights will flash and the audio alarm sound will be

heard. After closing the drawer there will be a brief pause before the cycle begins.

The dishwasher remembers your last cycle so you do not have to reset the cycle each time. To start the dishwasher using the same cycle and options selected on the previous wash, just press the Start/Resume pad.

5.To cancel a running cycle, press the Cancel/Drain pad once. The dishwasher will drain, then shut off. To turn the dishwasher off without draining, press the Cancel/Drain pad twice.

Notes:

•If a cycle pad is pressed after the controls have been "locked in", the light above the current cycle will flash three times and an audible beep will be heard.

•If you have a two-drawer dishwasher model, each drawer has its own controls and can run

independently of the other.

Adding a Forgotten item

For best cleaning, the forgotten item should be added early in the cycle.

1.Grasp drawer handle and open drawer. An audible beep will sound to indicate the drawer is open and the cycle has been suspended.

2.With the drawer open, add the item.

3.Press Start/Resume then close the drawer.

Note: Extended interruption of the wash cycle is I not recommended.
