OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Energy Use
The yellow energy guide label that came on your unit tells
how much energy it would use in one year and how it
compares to others that are available. The energy is based
on the Normal cycles response to tests that apply soils and
dishware that simulate the average use. Eight place set-
tings of dishware and some serving pieces are used during
the test. The total energy is based on running the average
number of cycles per year, applying typical soil levels to the
dishware and half the time, selecting the option of using
extra energy to more fully dry the dishware. Actual energy
and water use will depend upon the cycle and options you
select.
This unit uses an in-line water heating element that is locat-
ed under the tub. There is no exposed heater that plas-
ticware might come in contact with or that is accessible to
touch. The heat is taken to the dishware through the heated
water. For this reason, plastic dishware may be placed
where it best ts in either the top or bottom rack. Tempera-
tures are uniform throughout the dishwasher.
If the user prefers to save energy and dry the dishes by
hand they select air dry instead of heated dry. Air dry is
still an option. If you prefer to spend slightly more energy
to get the dishes drier then turn the air dry option off. In
response the wash and rinse temperatures in the cycle will
be increased.
This will help the cleaning and it will also get the dishwash-
er hotter. When the nal drain removes all standing water,
the extra heat stored in the dishware will act to evaporate
the remaining water.
our unit provides a selection of cycles. In general, the more
water used by a cycle and the hotter the temperatures it
reaches the more energy that it uses. Several cycles, such
as the Normal cycle will change their response based on
soil level, options selected, and ambient conditions. The
Normal cycle is good for all around use. Other cycles are
focused toward special use like the Heavy cycle that is
designed for heavily soiled cookware.
Normal Operating Sounds
Your dishwasher uses energy efcient motors for the wash
and drain portions of the cycle you select. Each cycle has
a series of water lls and drains for washing and rinsing
dishes. As each cycle begins, you may or may not hear
the drain motor. You may also hear the splashing water
as it enters the tub and the spray arms as they rotate and
circulate water. The wash motor often pulsates through-
out the cycle, which varies water pressure and optimizes
performance.
Normal Operating Lights
Your dishwasher pad lights when either the Cycle or Option
desired is selected. All cycle and option pads have a white
back light when the pads are deselected and turn blue
when selected. In Delay selection and Rinse Aid setting,
the deselected pads are turned off.
NOTE
Your unit has technology that is used to understand how
heavily soiled the dish load is so the cycle can be automat-
ically adjusted to the appropriate response. This helps to
prevent energy waste. The sensor is calibrated at the end
of the cycle. For the rst cycle after power is applied (when
rst installed or after a power failure) the sensor will not be
calibrated and so cannot determine the soil load. Therefore,
your unit will provide a response suitable for heavy soils
on the rst run after power is restored. This will assure that
whatever is loaded will be cleaned. Energy use during this
rst run may be higher than would be typical.
