PREPARING AND LOADING DISHES Filling the rinse aid dispenser Your dishwasher is designed to use a liquid rinse aid. The use of rinse greatly improves drying performance after the final rinse. Do not use a solid or bar-type rinse aid. Under normal conditions, the rinse aid will last approximately one month. It is best to keep it full, but do not over fill. Filling the detergent dispenser 1. Open the detergent dispenser cap by pushing the detergent dispenser release catch.
PREPARING AND LOADING DISHES Filling the rinse aid reservoir Your dishwasher has been designed to use liquid rinse aid only. Using a powdered rinse aid will clog the reservoir opening and cause the dishwasher to malfunction. Rinse aid improves the drying performance of the dishwasher. CAUTION Do not add regular detergent to the rinse aid reservoir. 1. Remove the rinse aid reservoir cap by rotating it counterclockwise. 2. Fill the rinse aid reservoir with rinse aid.
USER MAINTENANCE Keeping your dishwasher clean improves its performance, reduces unnecessary repairs, and lengthens its life. CLEANING THE EXTERIOR It’s best to clean spills on the outside of your dishwasher as they occur. Use a soft, damp cloth on the control panel to gently wipe away spills and dust. Do not use benzene, wax, thinner, chlorine bleach, or alcohol. These materials may discolor the inner walls and cause stains.
USER MAINTENANCE 4. Remove any dirt or other remains from the filters, and then rinse them under running water. 5. Reassemble the filters in the reverse order of the dissasembly, replace the filter insert, and rotate clockwise to the close arrow. CAUTION If the filter insert is not closed properly, its performance will be decreased. CLEANING THE NOZZLES If your dishwasher does not seem to be cleaning adequately or the nozzles seem clogged, you can clean each of the nozzles.
