START-UP GUIDE
Before using your dishwasher, remove all packaging materials. Read this entire Use and Care Guide. You will find important safety information and useful operating tips.
Using Your New Dishwasher
1.Rinse aid is essential for good drying. Be sure to fill the dispenser before you use your new dishwasher. Each filling will last about 1 to 3 months depending on your usage.
5.Run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the water is hot. (See “Dishwasher Efficiency Tips.”) Turn off water.
2.Scrape large food soil and hard items (toothpicks or bones) from dishes.
3.Properly load the dishwasher. (See “Dishwasher Loading.”) Load dishes with space in between so water will reach the soiled surfaces. Make sure nothing keeps the spray arm(s) from spinning freely.
4.Add detergent. Always use a quality brand detergent. (See “Dishwasher Use.”)
6.Press the desired cycle and option selections. (See “Dishwasher Use.”)
7.Press START/RESUME and firmly close the door. When door is firmly closed, it latches automatically.
You can also press START/RESUME to repeat the same cycle and options as the previous cycle.
IMPORTANT: The Start/Resume light will flash if the door is opened during a cycle. Power interruptions during a cycle may also cause the Start/Resume light to flash. Press START/ RESUME to continue a cycle.
NOTE: If the door is not closed within 3 seconds of pressing Start/Resume, press START/RESUME again.

DISHWASHER LOADING
Loading Suggestions
■Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard items from the dishes. To conserve water and energy and save time, it is not necessary to rinse dishes before putting them into the dishwasher.
NOTE: Prerinsing dishes soiled with
The wash module removes food particles from the water. The module contains a triple action filtration system that intermittently filters soil from the water.
NOTE: If hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts, and eggshells enter the wash module, you might hear grinding, crunching, or buzzing sounds. These sounds are normal when hard items enter the module. Do not let metallic items (such as pot handle screws) get into the wash module. Damage can occur.
■For best drying, water must be able to drain from all surfaces.
■It is important for the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces.
■Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping if possible.
■Use special care when loading heavy pots and pans. Heavy items can damage the interior of the door if they are dropped or bumped.
■Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets, etc., do not interfere with the spray arm rotation.
■Conserve water and energy and save time over hand rinsing by running a rinse cycle to keep dishes moist if you do not plan to wash them soon. Foods such as eggs, rice, pasta, spinach, and cooked cereals may be hard to remove if they are left to dry over a period of time.
