Using Your New Dishwasher
1.Scrape large food soil and hard items (toothpicks or bones) from dishes.
2.Properly load the dishwasher. (See “Dishwasher Loading.”) Make sure nothing prevents the spray arm(s) from spinning freely.
3.Add detergent and check the rinse aid dispenser. Add rinse aid if needed. (See “Dishwasher Use.”)
4.Push door firmly closed. The door latches automatically. Run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the water is hot. (See “Dishwasher Efficiency Tips.”) Turn off water.
5.Select the desired cycle and options. (See “Dishwasher Use.”)
6.Press START/RESUME.

You can stop your dishwasher anytime during a cycle.
1.Open the door slightly.

DISHWASHER LOADING
Loading Suggestions
■Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard items from the dishes. It is not necessary to rinse the 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 eggshells 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.
■Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping, if possible. For best drying, water must be able to drain from all surfaces.
■Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets, etc., do not interfere with the spray arm rotation.
■Run a rinse cycle to keep dishes moist if you do not plan to wash them soon. Foods such as eggs, rice, pasta, spinach, and cooked cereals may be hard to remove if they are left to dry over a period of time.
Quiet operating tips
To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation:
■Make sure lightweight load items are secured in the racks.
■Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets, etc., do not touch interior walls or interfere with the rotation of the spray arm.
■Load dishes so they do not touch one another.
NOTE: For
Loading Top Rack
The top rack is designed for cups, glasses, and smaller items. Many items, up to 9" (22 cm), fit in the top rack. (See recommended loading patterns shown.)
NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the drawings shown.
