■The amount of detergent to use depends on:

How much soil remains on the items - Heavily soiled loads require more detergent.

The hardness of the water - If you use too little in hard water, dishes won't be clean. If you use too much in soft water, glassware will etch.

Soft to Medium Water (0-6 grains per U.S. gallon) [typical water softener water and some city water]

Medium to Hard Water (7-12 grains per U.S. gallon) [well water and some city water]

■Depending on your water hardness, fill the Main Wash section of the dispenser as shown. Fill the Pre-Wash section to the level shown, if needed.

Add Rinse Aid

■Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid for good drying performance. Without rinse aid your dishes and dishwasher interior will have excessive moisture. The heat dry option will not perform as well without rinse aid.

■ Rinse aid keeps water from forming	Full

They also improve drying by allowing	OR
water to drain off of the dishes after the

■ Rinse aid helps to reduce excess
moisture on the dish racks and interior of
your dishwasher.

■Check the rinse aid indicator. Add rinse aid when indicator drops to “Add” level or, when rinse aid indicator looks light. The light visual indicator means to add rinse aid, and the dark visual indicator means that there is sufficient rinse aid in the dishwasher.

Select a Cycle (cycles vary by model)

NOTE: Heavier cycles and options affect cycle length. Some cycles and options will take up to 3¹⁄₂ hours to complete.

Rinse Only – (no options apply to this cycle) Do not use detergent. This is only a rinse that keeps food from drying on your dishes and reduces odor buildup in your

dishwasher until you are ready to wash a full load.

Normal – Use for normal food soil. The energy usage label is based on this cycle.

Pots & Pans – Use for heavily soiled, hard-to-clean items.

Select Options (options vary by model)

You can customize your cycles by pressing the options desired.

Hi-Temp Wash – (use only with Pots & Pans

and Normal wash cycles) heats the water during the wash portions of the cycle.

Heated Dry – (automatic with all except rinse cycle) use for best drying results. Turn off by pressing Heat Dry so that the light goes off.

Delay – (any cycle) offers the choice to start the dishwasher automatically at a later time. Select a wash

cycle and options. Press 4 Hour Delay. Press START/ RESUME. Close the door firmly.

Locked – (on Heat Dry button) use to avoid unintended use of your dishwasher. When Control Lock is lit, all buttons are disabled. The dishwasher door can be opened while the controls are locked.

To turn on Lock:

Press and hold Heat Dry for at least 4 seconds. The Locked light glows. If you press any pad while your dishwasher is locked, the light flashes 3 times.

To turn off Lock:

Press and hold Heat Dry for at least 4 seconds. The Control Lock light turns off.
