Operating your
Dishwasher
Step 1 Load dishes into racks according to
instructions on pages 10-12.
Step 2 Add detergent to detergent
dispenser. See page 13.
Step 3 Firmly close the door and latch it by
pushing the door handle down.
Step 4 Push button for desired cycle.
Step 5 Advance Cycle Selection Dial slowly
to corresponding cycle. See page 8
for description of cycles.
Important: If Step 5 is omitted, the timer will
automatically advance to the cycle selected in
Step 4. However, this requires more time than
advancing the dial manually
KitchenAid Quiet Scrub TM System
Your KitchenAid dishwasher is equipped with
a unique sound reduction system. The Quiet
ScrubTM System isdesigned to help eliminate
the common sounds heard while a dish-
washer is operating.
Important: MAKE SURE your dishwasher is
properly installed for quiet operation.
Automatic Water
Heating
Your KitchenAid dishwasher offers automatic
water heating. For best dishwashing results,
water should be at least 120°F (49°C) as it
enters the dishwasher. To check the
temperature, use the faucet closest to your
dishwasher.
1. Set the faucet control for the hottest
water possible. Run water into a glass set
in the sink for at least one minute,
allowing it to overflow.
2. Place a candy or meat thermometer in the
glass and read it at the maximum setting.
3. If the temperature is too low, raise the
setting on your water heater.
Energy Saving
Tips
• Usethe ENERGYSAVERDRY (no heat)
option whenever possible. If your
incoming water temperature is 140°F
(60°C) and you don't need your dishes
right away, it pays to air dry them.
• Flash dry dishes. After final rinse, unlatch
door and advance Cycle Selection Dial to
Pots/Pans Cycle; open door and pull out
racks. Because of the heat buildup in
dishware during the wash cycle, water
evaporates quickly from the dishware.
Important: In hard water areas, flash drying
can increase the likelihood of spotting and
filming.
• Run the dishwasher only with a full load.
• Do not rinse dishware before loading.
• Use only the cycle and options that you
need.
• Run the dishwasher at night during the
summer to avoid daytime heat load.
