Operating Tips

Before You Start

•Don’t prerinse. Simply scrape off any bones or large food particles.

•If connected to a food waste disposer, make certain the disposer is empty before starting the dishwasher.

•Scrape off tomato-based food soils (see page 11).

•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 for an extended period of time.

Starting the Dishwasher

1.After loading the dishwasher and adding detergent, select the desired cycle and options by pressing the pads. The indicator lights for the selected cycle and options will illuminate. To cancel an option press the pad again.

2.To start a cycle, close the door until it latches then press the START/Cancel pad once. After a pause, the fill will begin. The display countdown (select models) will flash until START/Cancel is pressed.

Note

•If START/Cancel is not pressed within 30 seconds of choosing your cycle, the dishwasher will turn off.

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/Cancel pad.

3.To cancel a running cycle, press the START/Cancel pad once. The dishwasher will drain, then shut off. To turn the dishwasher off without draining, press the START/Cancel pad twice. To prevent unplanned cycle or option changes, these selections are “locked in” after 1 minute.

Note

•If a cycle pad is pressed after the controls have been “locked in”, the light above the current cycle will flash three times.

Adding a Forgotten Item

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

1.Grasp door handle and unlatch door without opening completely. All lights will flash to indicate that the cycle is suspended.

2.Wait for the water circulation to stop.

3.Open the door and add the item.

4.Close and latch the door. Lights will stop flashing when the door is properly shut. After a slight delay, the cycle resumes automatically at the point of interruption.

Notes

•If the door is opened during a running cycle, there may be up to a 30 second delay before the dishwasher restarts after closing the door.

•Extended interruption of the wash cycle is not recommended.
