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 1-3 months depending on your usage.

2.Scrape large food soil and hard items (toothpicks or bones) from dishes. You do not need to pre-rinse your 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 prevents the spray arm(s) from spinning freely.

4.Add detergent. Always use a quality brand detergent. (See “Dishwasher Use.”)

5.Run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the water is hot. (See “Dishwasher Performance Tips.”) Turn off water.

6.Press the desired cycle and option selections on the top of the dishwasher door. (See “Dishwasher Use.”)

7.Push door firmly closed. The door latches automatically.

8.Press the Start pad on the front of the dishwasher door. Or press the Start pad to repeat the same cycle and options as the previous cycle.

NOTE: If the dishwasher is not started within 30 seconds after closing the door, the cycle and options will revert to the last cycle and options completed.

IMPORTANT:

■When the cycle starts, you will see a rotating pattern of lights in the display window indicating that the unit is operating.

This pattern will continue for up to 6 minutes while the multiple sensors check the incoming water temperature, rinse aid usage and soil level on dishes and cookware. The sensors then determine the ideal cycle for your dish load. After sensing is complete, the display will show the number of minutes left in the cycle and the cycle countdown will begin.

■The cycle countdown pauses and the water heating light glows while the dishwasher heats the water to a set temperature. (See “Cycle Selection Charts.”)

Loading Suggestions

■Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard items from the dishes. To conserve water, energy and save time, it is not necessary to rinse dishes before putting them into the dishwasher. The wash module removes food particles from the water. The module contains a chopping device which will reduce the size of food items.

NOTE: If hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts, and egg shells enter the wash module, you might hear chopping, 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.

■It is important for the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces.
