Add Detergent
NOTE: If you do not plan to run a wash cycle soon, run a rinse
cycle. Do not use detergent.
■ Use automatic dishwasher detergent only. Add powder, liquid
or tablet detergent just before starting a cycle.
■ Fresh automatic
dishwasher detergent
results in better
cleaning. Store tightly
closed detergent
container in a cool,
dry place.
■ The amount of
detergent to use depends on:
How much soil remains on the items - Heavily soiled loads
require more detergent.
The hardness of the water - If you use too little in hard water,
dishes won't be clean. If you use too much in soft water,
glassware will etch.
Soft to Medium Water (0-6 grains per U.S. gallon)
[typical water softener water and some city water]
Medium to Hard Water (7-12 grains per U.S. gallon)
[well water and some city water]
■ Depending on your water hardness, fill the Main Wash section
of the dispenser as shown. Fill the Pre-Wash section to the
level shown, if needed.
NOTE: Fill amounts shown
are for standard powdered
detergent. Follow instructions
on the package when using
other dishwasher detergent.
Add Rinse Aid
■ Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid for good drying
performance. Without rinse aid your dishes and dishwasher
interior will have excessive moisture. The heat dry option will
not perform as well without rinse aid.
■ Rinse aid keeps water from forming
droplets that can dry as spots or
streaks. They also improve drying by
allowing water to drain off of the
dishes after the final rinse.
■ Rinse aid helps to reduce excess
moisture on the dish racks and interior of your dishwasher.
■ Check the rinse aid indicator. Add rinse aid when indicator
drops to “Add” level or, when rinse aid indicator looks light. A
light visual indicator means to add rinse aid, and a dark visual
indicator means that there is sufficient rinse aid in the
dishwasher.
■ Dispenser with one lid - To add
rinse aid, turn the dispenser
cap to “Refill” and lift off. Pour
rinse aid into the opening until
the indicator level is at “Full.”
Replace the dispenser cap and
turn to “Lock.” Make sure cap
is fully locked.
NOTE: For most water conditions, the
factory setting of 2 will give good
results. If you have hard water or notice
rings or spots, try a higher setting. Turn
the arrow adjuster inside the dispenser
by either using your fingers or inserting
a flat-blade screwdriver into the center
of the arrow and turning.
Select a Cycle (cycles vary by model)
NOTE: Heavier cycles and options affect cycle length. Some
cycles and options will take up to 3¹⁄₂ hours to complete.
Pots & Pans – Use for heavily
soiled, hard-to-clean items.
Normal – Use for normal food soil.
The energy usage label is based on
this cycle.
China – Use for lightly soiled items
or china and crystal.
Glass XPress™ – Use to quickly wash prerinsed glasses or dish
loads
Rinse Only – (no options apply to this cycle) Do not use detergent.
This is only a rinse that keeps food from drying on your dishes and
reduces odor buildup in your dishwasher until you are ready to
wash a full load.
Select Options (options vary by model)
You can customize your cycles by
pressing the options desired.
Soak & Scour – use to presoak your
dishes for 4 hours in your dishwasher
instead of presoaking them in the sink.
Hi-Temp Wash –
(use only with Pots &
Pans and Normal wash cycles) heats the water during the wash
portions of the cycle.
Sani Rinse – (use only with Normal wash cycle; automatic with
Heavy Duty cycle) Select this option to raise the water temperature
in the final rinse to approximately 155°F (68°C). Sani Rinse option
adds heat and time to the cycle. This high temperature rinse
sanitizes your dishes and glassware in accordance with NSF/ANSI
Standard 184 for Residential Dishwashers. Certified residential
dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments.
Heated Dry – (automatic with all except rinse cycle and ) use for
best drying results. Turn off by pressing Heat Dry so that the light
goes off.
■ When loading silverware, always place sharp
items pointing down and avoid “nesting” as
shown.
