Preparing Dishes

It is not necessary to rinse normal food soils off the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher, although larger solid particles, such as bones, seeds, skins, pits, and toothpicks should be removed.

If you are not going to run the dishwasher immediately after loading, it is best to rinse salty and highly acidic foods off stainless steel, silver, and silverplate flatware. Prolonged contact of foods—including lemon juice, salt, vinegar, mustard, mayonnaise, and salad dressings—with stainless steel can cause corrosion (pitting).

Before Operation

1.Load the dishes per recommended loading. See section on Loading Dishwasher.

2.Make sure there is rinse agent in the dispenser. Add rinse agent if needed. See section on Rinse Agent.

3.Add proper amount of detergent and pre-wash. See section on Dishwasher Detergent.

4.Push both top and bottom racks in.

5.Select the desired cycle and option(s).

6.Press “START”. The “START” symbol will illuminate to indicate the unit is ready.

7.Close the door tightly until you hear a click. Otherwise, the dishwasher will not start.

Option Restrictions

All options are not available for all cycles. Please note the following:

•The option “HI TEMP WASH” is not available with the “LIGHT/CHINA” cycle.
