Adding Dishes
The dishwasher will start automatically, after a slight delay, when the door is closed and latched. During the cycle, the display will indicate the estimated time remaining for the cycle and options selected. If the door is opened during the cycle, the dishwasher will stop. When the door is closed, the cycle will resume from the point where it was stopped.
Measuring Detergent
It is possible to use too much detergent in your dishwasher. This can lead to etching of your dishes. See “Detergent and Rinse Aid” to determine the amount of detergent needed based on your water hardness. High quality dishwasher detergent tablets or packs have been proven to be better than powdered, liquid, or gel detergents at reducing filming on dishes.
CLEANING THE FILTERS
This dishwasher has the latest technology in dishwasher filtration. This filtration system minimizes sound and optimizes water and energy consumption while providing superior cleaning performance. Maintain the filter regularly to ensure peak cleaning performance throughout the life of the dishwasher.
- The assembled inner filter keeps oversized items and foreign objects, along with very fine food particles, out of the pump.
- The stainless steel filter keeps food from being recirculated onto your dishware.
Remove, inspect, and clean the filter system once a month for best performance. Filters may need to be cleaned more often depending on usage. See chart below for details.
The filters may need to be cleaned when:
- Visible objects or soil are on the filter assembly.
- There is a decrease in cleaning performance (that is, soil still present on dishes).
- Dishes feel gritty to the touch.
- Removing and maintaining the filters is very easy. The chart below shows the recommended cleaning frequency.
DISHWASHER EFFICIENCY TIPS
Hot water dissolves and activates the dishwasher detergent. Hot water also dissolves grease on dishes and helps glasses dry spot-free. For best results, water should be 120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher. Loads may not wash as well if the water temperature is too low.
- To save water, energy and time, only scrape dishes. Do not rinse dishes before putting them into the dishwasher.
- Use a delay feature to run the dishwasher during off-peak hours. Contact your local utility for information on peak usage times, and avoid running the dishwasher during those times.
- During the summer, run your dishwasher at night. This reduces daytime heat buildup in the kitchen.
- Use a rinse aid to improve drying.
Height Adjustable Top Rack
The top rack adjusts up and down. Raise the top rack to allow items up to 14” tall in the bottom rack. Lower the top rack to allow dishes up to 12” tall in the top rack. The dishwasher ships with the top rack raised. There are three available positions for adjusting the height of the top rack to create more space.
- To raise, lift the rack at the center of each side until the rack locks into place in the upper position. It is not necessary to lift the lock levers to raise the rack.
- To lower, hold the rack at the center of each side to support its weight. Lift the lock levers on each side to release the rack and lower it until it locks into place.
