OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE Your dishwasher uses a DishSenseTM Technology to understand how much food is on the dishes and then adjusts the cycle accordingly.

Recommended Cycle for typical use:

The Normal cycle with its factory default options of normal temperature and heated dry together provide the best all around performance. This cycle selection is recommended for everyday use and is suitable for a large range of both dish load sizes and food quantities remaining on those dishes.

Option Selections

Wash Pressure

The programmed cycles default to the “surge” pressure option which varies the pressure optimally for the cycle’s intended normal use. If, for some special circumstance, either a very low “spray” or very high “scour” pressure is desired that may be selected. Due to wash cycle optimization, some pressure options are not selectable in all wash cycle.

Wash Temp

The programmed cycles default to the “normal” temperature option, to choose HI-TEMP or SANITIZE press WASH TEMP pad.

Hi-Temp Wash Option

HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, by pressing the WASH TEMP pad, the dishwasher heats water in the main wash to approximately 140oF (60oC).

This increase in water temperature helps dishwasher detergent remove food grease and soil from dishes more effectively and aids in drying.

Sanitize Option

To sanitize your dishes and glassware, select SANITIZE option, by pressing WASH TEMP pad. When selected, the light will come on and remain on until end of cycle. The water temperature in the fi nal rinse will be raised to 155oF (68oC) and will maintain that temperature for 9 minutes. This option is available in Heavy Wash/Power Plus and Normal Wash Cycles. Only these sanitization cycles have been designed to meet NSF requirements. The cycle time will be extended until the proper water temperature is reached. Washing action will continue during the water heating delay. For best results, the incoming water temperature should be at least 120oF (49oC). The sanitize criteria may not be satisfi ed if there is an interruption of the cycle, power failure or if the incoming water temperature is below 120oF (49oC). To turn off the SANITIZE option, press the Wash Temp pad. The SANITIZE light will turn off.

Heat Dry

The HEATED DRY option in combination with rinse aid will enhance drying performance. HEATED DRY option is available on all cycles.

Air Dry

The AIR DRY option will reduce temperature in the hot rinse of the selected wash cycle. This option will slightly decrease energy usage but will increase the likelihood that dishware will not be dry

My Favorite Cycle

The MY FAVORITE CYCLE option allows you to program your preferred cycle and options into one button. Once Programmed, simply press the FAVORITE CYCLE button followed by the START/ CANCEL pad will select the programmed cycle and options.

To Program the FAVORITE CYCLE button:

1. Select your preferred cycle and options

2. Hold the FAVORITE CYCLE button for 3 seconds.

The LED over the FAVORITE pad turns on indicating the MY FAVORITE CYCLE option has been programmed. To change the MY FAVORITE CYCLE option simply repeat steps one and two above.

Delay Start

The DELAY START option allows you to automatically delay starting your dishwasher from 1-24 hours.

To activate press the DELAY START pad until the desired delay time shows in the STATUS window and press START.

To cancel the DELAY START option and begin the cycle before the delay period is over, press the START/CANCEL pad until the status window show cycle duration. Press START/CANCEL again and close the door.

Child Lock Controls

To prevent children from accidentally changing the dishwasher cycle or starting the dishwasher, lock the dishwasher controls by pressing the DELAY START pad until the status window displays “loc”. To unlock the controls, press the DELAY START pad until “loc” is no longer displayed in the status window.

To Cancel a Cycle

To cancel a cycle at anytime, open the door and press the START/CANCEL pad until you hear a tone. When the door is opened, the last cycle selected will be displayed. If desired, a new cycle can now be selected by pressing START/CANCEL pad and upon closing the door the cycle will begin.

Status Window

The STATUS window, available on some models, indicates the following activity:

• 1-24............. Number of delay start hours. The last hour will count down in minutes.
• CL.................... Close dishwasher door. The status indicator lights will also fl ash to indicate current cycle status
• MINUTES.......... Number of minutes left in cycle (1-199).
• L0----L6............ Level of Rinse Aid dosage.

Status Indicator Lights

The CLEAN light will remain on until the door is opened. When the SANITIZE option is selected and the criteria is met, the Sanitized indicator will display and remain on until the door is opened. If the sanitization criteria is not achieved, the indicator will not display. This can happen if the cycle is interrupted or if the sanitization temperature could not be reached due to incoming water temperature signifi cantly below 1200F.

Green Light

When the GREEN LIGHT illuminates on the fl oor this indicates that the wash cycle is complete.

PREPARING AND LOADING DISHES

Dish Preparation

Scrape away large pieces of food, bones, pits, toothpicks, etc. The continuously fi ltered wash fl uid will remove remaining food particles. Burned-on foods should be loosened before loading. Empty liquids from glasses and cups. Foods such as mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice and tomato based products may cause discoloration of stainless steel and plastics if allowed to sit for a long period of time. Unless the dishwasher is to be operated at once, it is best to pre-rinse or use the rinse only cycle to rinse off these food soils.

• Load racks so that large items do not prevent the detergent dispenser from opening.

• Check manufacturer’s recommendations before washing items in question.

• If the dishwasher drains into a Food Disposer, be sure disposer is completely empty before starting dishwasher.

Loading the Upper Rack

Features and appearance of racks and silverware basket may vary from your model.

The upper rack is designed for fl exibility in loading a wide variety of items including cups, glasses, stemware, small plates, bowls, etc.

Load glasses and plastic items in upper rack only.

Load items with open end facing down for better cleaning and draining.

Damage may occur if delicate items touch each other during dishwasher operation.

Long-handled knives and utensils can be placed in upper rack.

Be sure nothing protrudes through the bottom of the rack to block rotation of middle spray arm.
