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. It also improves 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.
■ To add rinse aid, turn the dispenser
cap counterclockwise and lift off.
Pour rinse aid into the opening until
the indicator window looks full.
Replace the dispenser cap and turn
clockwise. 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)
Press the Cycles button until the light below the desired cycle is on.
NOTE: Heavier cycles and options
affect cycle length.
Heavy – Use for heavy food soil.
Normal – Use for normal food soil.
The energy usage label is based on
this cycle.
Light – Use for prerinsed or lightly soiled loads.
1-hr Wash – Use for lightly soiled items. For fast results, 1-Hr
Wash will clean the dishes using slightly more water and energy.
Rinse Only – (no options apply to this cycle) Do not use detergent.
A rinse 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)
Repeatedly press the button until the desired
combination of options is selected.
■ A high temperature option boosts the water
temperature high enough to enhance cleaning.
■ A delayed start option offers the choice to start
the dishwasher automatically at a later time.
■ A heated dry option should be used for best
drying of dishes.
■ A no heat dry option can be used to save energy.
■ A locked option can be used to avoid unintended use of your
dishwasher. Press and hold Delay for 3 seconds. Lock On
glows. If you press any pad while your dishwasher is locked,
the light flashes 3 times.
Start, Resume or Cancel a Cycle
■ Run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the
water is hot. Turn off water.
■ Push door firmly closed. The door latches automatically. Press
Start/Resume.
■ You can add an item anytime before the main wash starts. Lift
up the door latch to stop the cycle. Open the door slowly and
add the item. Close the door firmly until it latches. The
dishwasher resumes the cycle.
■ You may cancel a cycle anytime by pressing Cancel/
Drain.
■ When loading silverware, always place sharp
items pointing down and avoid “nesting” as
shown.
