Operating Your Dishwasher

Starting Your Dishwasher

important

If the dishwasher drain line is connected to a garbage disposal, run the disposal before operating the dishwasher for proper drainage.

1. Open the door and push in on the main power switch on the top of the

door so that it is in the on position. The control panel on the front of the dishwasher is lit when the switch is on.

2.Close the door. Push in gently on the top of the door until it clicks shut.

3.Touch the PROGRAM touch key repeatedly until the indicator light for the desired wash cycle is lit. See the facing page for a description of the wash cycles.

4. If you want to change the wash temperature setting, touch the Wash Temperature key repeatedly to toggle between the “normal” setting and the “high” setting. The light on the Wash Temperature key is lit when the temperature is set to “high.” See the facing page for a description of the temperature settings.

5.If you want to change the dish drying time, touch Dry repeatedly to toggle between the “normal” and “high” setting. The light on the Dry cycle key is lit when the dry time is set to “high.” NOTE: When set to “normal”, the rinse water temperature is lower, causing the dishes to take longer to dry. Change the setting to “high” if the dishes do not dry properly.

6.Touch the START/STOP touch key for 3 seconds. The display will flash three times to indicate that the dishwasher is starting. If only horizontal lines appear on the

display, the door is ajar. Push in gently on the top of the door until it clicks shut.

During Operation

•Once you have selected a program and options, the display indicates how long the cycle took the last time it was used. Once you start the dishwasher, the display shows the estimated time until the end of the new cycle. The display changes periodically as the dishwasher recalculates the cycle time based on water temperature and the amount of soil remaining on the dishes.

•If power to the dishwasher is turned off at the main power switch or if there is a power outage before the wash cycle completes, the selected cycle will continue when the power is restored. However, if power is interrupted or the door is open more than two minutes during drying, the cycle will end.

Adding a Dish After You Start

You can add a dish, if needed, after starting your dishwasher. Dacor recommends that you only add items during the first five minutes of operation to make sure they get clean.

To add a dish:

1.Slowly open the door. The dishwasher will stop operating. Wait a moment for the steam to clear.

2.Without touching any hot surfaces, dishes or racks, insert the item into one of the racks, following the normal loading instructions.

3.Close the door. Push in on the top of the door to make sure that it is completely shut. Operation will resume.

Standby Mode

Once the cycle is finished, the dishwasher will beep and End will appear on the display. When the cycle completes, the dishwasher draws a very small amount of power. Open the door and push the main power switch to turn power off completely.

Stopping Your Dishwasher During Operation

Touch the START/STOP touch key for five seconds. The dishwasher will stop operating.

Changing the Wash Cycle After You Start

You can change the cycle, the wash temperature or the dry setting after you start your dishwasher.

1.Open the door, then touch the START/STOP key for five seconds. The dishwasher will stop operating.

2.If the detergent dispenser door has opened, add more detergent.

3.Touch the PROGRAM key repeatedly to select the new wash cycle (the indicator for the desired wash cycle will light).

4.If you want to change the wash temperature or dry setting, touch the key for that function repeatedly to toggle between settings.

5.Touch START/STOP for 3 seconds, wait for the display to flash three times, then close the door.
