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). Cycle and Option keys will illuminate to indicate selection.

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 in the “LIGHT/CHINA” or “ECONO WASH” cycles.

No options are available in the “RINSE/HOLD” cycle.

The option “TOP WASH” is available only with the “NORMAL WASH” cycle.

After selecting the wash cycle and options, depress “START” button. The start light will turn on. This merely means the machine is ready. Close the door securely within 4 seconds of pressing the “START” button.

Changing a Program

Changing a Program After the Unit has Started

The dishwasher is programmed to stop operating if the door is opened during a cycle. To change a program or option after starting the machine, open the door slightly to let the spray arms stop rotating and avoid getting sprayed with water. Press and hold “START” for four seconds to cancel the current selection, then press the touchpad(s) for your desired selection.

Press “START” again and close the door. The drain pump will run to remove any dirty water from the dishwasher before starting the newly selected cycle. Check to make sure there is still detergent in the detergent dispenser.

Opening the Door after Cycle has Started

If the door is opened after the cycle has started, the ”START” button will flash to indicate that the dishwasher is in Standby Mode. Press the “START” button and close the door securely within 4 seconds to restart the cycle.
