4.Starting Your Dishwasher

After you’ve prepared your dishes,

loaded your dishwasher, and added dishwashing detergent and rinse aid, you may start your dishwasher.

To start your dishwasher, you need to know how to:

A.Select the Proper Wash Cycle

B.Operate the Controls

A. Select the Proper Wash Cycle Dishwashing needs will vary from

household to household. Here are some general guidelines that will help you select the proper wash cycle for the best cleaning. Remember, not every model of Siemens dishwasher will have every available wash cycle, so you should look to the Model Features Chart on page 6 in this manual to find out which cycles your model has.

The Regular Wash cycle will thoroughly clean most normal, everyday loads having loosely attached foods. More heavily soiled dishware, and pots and pans with baked- on, dried-on, or stuck-on foods will require Scrub Wash or Power Scrub Plus, or they may require soaking and hand-scouring. For more lightly soiled dishware try Quick Wash. A small load with normal soiling can be kept in your dishwasher until you have enough dishes for a full load by selecting the Rinse and Hold Cycle. A small load can also be placed in the top rack and given complete washing by the Top Rack Only cycle. For delicate or heirloom dishware and silver- ware, or other special pieces, select Delicate/Economy Wash, referring to the Materials section on pages 12 and 13 of this manual.

For more information on the wash cycles, turn to the Siemens Features Descrip- tion on pages 8 and 9 in this manual.
