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. (See
“Rinse Aid Dispenser.”)
2. Scrape large food soil and hard items (toothpicks or bones)
from dishes.
3. Check and clean drain assembly screens. (See “Cleaning.”)
4. Insert the drain stopper and turn clockwise one-quarter turn
to close.
5. Properly load the dishwasher. (See “Dishwasher Loading.”)
Load dishes with space in between so water will reach the
soiled surfaces. Make sure nothing prevents the spray arm(s)
from spinning freely.
6. Add detergent and check the rinse aid dispenser. Add rinse
aid if needed. (See “Dishwasher Use.”)
7. If you do not have the hot water tank accessory, run hot water
at the sink until the water is hot. (See “Dishwasher
Performance Tips.”) Turn off water.
8. Press the desired cycle and option selections on the top of
the dishwasher opening. Or press Start pad to repeat the
same cycle and options as the previous cycle. (See
“Dishwasher Use.”)
9. Press the Start pad on the top of the dishwasher opening.
The lights on the control panel will flash once.
10. Push lid firmly closed. Turn lid knob to latch.
If the lid is opened during the cycle, the cycle will stop. Close
the lid firmly and the cycle will continue.
NOTE: If the dishwasher senses the drain stopper is not
closed properly, selected cycle is cancelled. Lid pops open
and Check Drain indicator is lit. Insert drain stopper again and
seal. Start cycle again.
11. The lid opens automatically at the end of the cycle.
NOTE: Do not place anything on the dishwasher lid when
running a cycle.
