FEATURES AT A GLANCE Your dishwasher, illustrated below, cleans by spraying a mixture of hot, clean water, and detergent against the soiled surfaces of your dishes and tableware. The dishwasher fills with water covering the filter area. Water is then pumped through the multiple filter and spray arms. Separated soil particles go down the drain as the water is pumped out and replaced with clean water. The number of water fills will vary with the cycle being used.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Wash Cycles Wash Options Wash Cycle Selections Cycle times are approximate and will vary with the options selected. Hot water is necessary to activate the detergent and melt fatty food soils. An automatic sensor will check the incoming water temperature. If it is not at the appropriate temperature the timer will delay the cycle to allow automatic water heating during the main wash.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Display window This LED screen displays the minutes remaining in a running cycle, hours of delay before the unit is set to start, error codes, etc. • If the machine is in operation, the remaining time (mins) of the selected cycle will be shown in the display window. • If the Delay option is selected, the number of hours of delay (1h-24h) will be shown in the display window.
PREPARING AND LOADING DISHES Dish Preparation Scrape away large pieces of food, bones, pits, toothpicks, etc. The continuously filtered wash system will remove the 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.
PREPARING AND LOADING DISHES Large items should be turned so that the inside faces downward. Load large items such as pans and pots into the dishwasher so their open sides face downwards. We recommend loading cups, stemware, and small plates into the upper basket. Larger items should be placed along the edge so they do not interfere with the spray arm rotation. Check to ensure that they do not prevent the detergent dispenser from opening.
DETERGENT AND RINSE AID DISPENSER The detergent and rinse aid dispenser will 2. automatically release the measured amount of detergent and rinse aid at the appropriate time during the dishwasher cycles. Add the recommended amount of detergent to the detergent compartment. Rinse aid greatly improves drying and reduces water spots and filming. Without rinse aid your dishes and dishwasher interior will have excessive moisture. The Heat Dry option will not perform as well without rinse aid.
DETERGENT AND RINSE AID DISPENSER NOTE Visually check viewing port to determine if rinse aid is low. Fill as needed. To refill the rinse aid dispenser: 1. Lift up the end tab of rinse aid cover to open. 2. Fill the rinse aid dispenser with liquid rinse aid until full. DO NOT overfill. NOTE Use the viewing port when filling the rinse aid reservoir. 10 WARNING Do not fill the reservoir above the full level indicator. Excess rinse aid can overflow during the wash cycle. 3.
