Hotpoint HDA829 warranty How to operate your dishwasher, For Pots & Pans and Normal Wash cycles

How to operate your dishwasher

STEP 1. Load your dishwasher with dishes, silverware, pots, pans, bowls, etc. according to instructions on pages 8 and 9.

STEP 2. Add detergent to the detergent dispenser. Make sure the Cycle Indicator Dial is at OFF position before adding detergent. (See pages 6 and 7.)

Use rinse aid agent to help prevent spotting. Occasionally check to make sure the rinse agent container is at least half full. (See page 6.)

STEP 3. Select DRYING HEAT option. It must be ON for PLATE WARMER cycle, OFF for RINSE

&HOLD cycle. It can be ON or OFF at your option (see below), for any of the wash cycles.

DRYING HEAT

ON OFF

m

DRYING HEAT ON. Turns the drying heater on for fast drying.

DRYING HEAT OFF. Turns the drying heater off to save energy. Dishes will dry naturally over a longer period such as overnight.

If you need your dishes sooner, open the dishwasher door after the cycle is complete to reduce the natural drying time.

Use of this option reduces the electrical energy used by this model approximately 10Yo for the NORMAL WASH cycle.

STEP 4. Select the wash cycle and start dishwasher. (See Cycle Selection Hints at right.)

If your dishwasher drains into a food waste disposer, operate the disposer until it is empty before starting the dishwasher.

To obtain the benefits of a complete cycle, be careful that you do not turn the dial any further than necessary to start the dishwasher.
