SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONSFeaturesHow your dishwasher cleans

The dishwasher fills with water, covering the filter area at thebottom. Water is then pumped through the various filter and sprayarms, spraying a mixture of hot water and detergent against thesoiled surfaces of your dishes and silverware. Soil particles areseparated and go down the drain as the dirty water is drained andreplaced with clean water. The number of water fills is determinedby the cycle selected.

Wash cycle selectionsCycle times are approximate and will varywith options selected. Hot water is necessary to activatedishwasher detergent and melt fatty food soils.

An automatic sensor checks the incoming water temperature and,if it is not hot enough, the timer will be delayed to allow for thewater to heat for the main wash of all cycles.

Filter systemYour dishwasher has a multiple filter system whichincludes four separate filter meshes. It separates dirty water andclean water into different chambers. The multiple filter systemhelps your dishwasher to get better performance with less water andless energy.

Smart wash systemYour dishwasher has a smart wash system underthe normal wash program which selects the wash cycle based on howlarge and how soiled the load is, permitting your dishwasher toclean more efficiently every time. When a partial load of lightlysoiled dishes is placed in the unit, a short wash cycle isautomatically selected. When a full load of heavily soiled dishesis placed in the unit, a heavy wash cycle is automaticallyselected.

Adjustable upper rackThe upper rack of your dishwasher can beraised or lowered to accommodate loading dishes of varying heightsin either rack. The upper rack clearance height can be adjustedfrom 8" to 10" (20 to 25 cm). The lower rack clearance height canbe adjusted from 11" to 13" (28 to 33 cm). See "Loading the upperrack" on page 9.

2 Add rinse aid until the liquid touches the indicated filllevel. Do not overfill since this can cause over-sudsing. Wipe upany spills with a damp cloth. The dispenser holds enough for 35 to140 washes, depending on the dial setting.

3 Replace the cap and turn it 1/4 turn clockwise.

Factors affecting performanceUsing rinse aid

Rinse aid greatly improves drying and reduces water spots andfilming. Without rinse aid, your dishes and dishwasher interiorwill have excessive moisture. In addition, the heated dry optionwill not perform as well without rinse aid. The rinse aiddispenser, located next to the detergent cup, automaticallyreleases a measured amount of rinse aid during the last rinse.

If spotting and poor drying is a problem, increase the amount ofrinse aid dispensed by rotating the dial to a higher number. Thedial is located under the dispenser cap.

If the rinse aid is low, the rinse aid light turns on at thebeginning and end of the cycle indicating that it is time torefill. Refer to "Filling the rinse aid dispenser" on page 10.

Water temperatureHot water is required for optimum dish washingand drying results. Water entering the dishwasher should be atleast 120° F (49° C) to achieve satisfactory results.

To check the water temperature entering the dishwasher:1 Turn onthe hot water faucet near the dishwasher and let it run for severalminutes.2 Hold a thermometer (a candy or meat thermometer willwork) in the water stream to check the temperature. If the

temperature is below 120° F (49° C), have a qualified personraise the hot water heater thermostat setting.

Heat dry functionThe heat dry function, when used with a rinseaid, enhances drying performance. If you do not choose the heat dryfunction, items in your load that will not be completely dry at theend of the cycle.

Water pressureFor optimum performance, the hot water supply linefor your dishwasher must provide water pressure of at least 20 psi(138 kPa) and not more than 120 psi (828 kPa). You may experiencelow water pressure during high-demand periods, such as when laundryor showers are in use while you are washing the dishes. Toeliminate this problem, wait until hot water demand is reducedbefore starting the dishwasher.

Important: To make sure that the water entering the dishwasheris hot, run hot water from the nearest hot water faucet to clearcool water from the pipe before starting the cycle.
