USING YOUR DISHWASHER
Hot Water is Essential
For good cleaning and drying results, hot water
is necessary. The water should be 120°-140°E If,
for any reason, the temperatnre of the water
being delivered by the water heater is below
120°F, select the Temp Boost Sensor option to
have your dishwasher heat the water.
To check water temperature, turn on the hot
water faucet nearest the dishwasher. Let water
run into a glass in tile sink until it is as hot as
possible, then check with a candy or meat
thermometer. If the temperature at the faucet is
below 120°F (49°C), have a qualified person
raise the water heater thermostat setting.
Before starting the dishwasher, turn on the hot
water faucet and let it run until the water is hot.
Preparing Dishes
* It is not necessary to rinse dishes before
placing them in your Maytag dishwasher.
Simply serape offbones and large pieces of
food. The food disposer in your dishwasher
can handle a variety of items such as pits, fruit
seeds, popcorn and toothpicks. These items
will be chopped into small pieces during drain
and removed with the drain water. If hard
items get into the dishwasher module, you
may hem"chopping noises during drain. These
sounds are normal.
• Foods that have been burned onto cooking
utensils will need to be scraped or soaked.
• Certain foods, such as mustard, mayonnaise,
lemon juice, vinegar, salt or dressings may
cruise stainless steel flatware to rust and pit if
allowed to remain in contact with the surface
for a period of time. Therefore, it is best to
rinse these food soils off stainless steel flatware
unless the dishwasher is to be operated soon
after loading.
• If your dishwasher drains into a food waste
disposer, make certain the disposer is
completely empty before starting the
dishwasher to provide for proper draining.
