|
|
| turning the control dial until a drain period is reached. |
|
|
| Repeat if necessary. |

|
| |
| DISHWASHER | Suds can cause unit to overflow. That’s why it’s so important to use a detergent that’s | |
| LEAKS | designed for automatic dishwashers. | |
|
|
| Spilling the rinse agent can cause foam during washing. This can lead to overflowing. |
|
|
| Wipe up accidental spill of rinse agent with a damp cloth. |

| |
| MOTOR HUMS | Dishwasher has not been used on a regular basis. | |
|
|
| If you do not use your dishwasher often, set it to fill and pump out once every week, |
|
|
| This will help keep the seal moist, and the garbage disposer clear. |
