Q: Why am I hearing a whistling sound from the dishwasher?
A: It is important to determine the duration of the noise and when it happens (what part of the cycle).
When water is drawn into the dishwasher, a whistling noise can be heard. This is normal. If the water
pressure is too high, it will be louder, so it may be necessary to adjust the water valve to lower the
pressure if the noise is too loud.
Q: What kinds of dishes can be placed in the dishwasher?
A: Ensure that the dishes you place in the dishwasher are dishwasher safe. Plastic dishware will not
dry as effectively as glass and metal dishware. Plastic items do not retain heat as well as glass and
metal dishware. Plastic cups and dishes may require some hand drying before being put away at the
end of the cycle.
Q: Can I perform a drain only cycle?
A: To drain standing water, press and hold Start for three seconds until the cycle stops. Once the
dishwasher nishes draining, the power turns off.
Q:
Why does my dishwasher continuously beep if I open the door during a cycle or right after the
cycle has nished?
A: This is normal. The dishwasher is letting you know that the interior temperatures of the unit are hot
and to use caution when placing your hands inside. Once the unit has cooled down, the beeping will
stop.
Q: What is Control Lock and how is it activated?
A: Control Lock is a feature that prevents the controls from being changed during the cycle. It does
not prevent the door from being opened or the unit from being powered off. To activate or deactivate,
press Dual Zone for three seconds.
Q: Can I add an extension to the drain hose?
A: If an extension drain hose is required, use
5
/8" or
7
/8" inside diameter, 2-3 ft. length hose and a coupler
for connecting the two hose ends.
Q:
An LED is blinking, the machine is beeping, and the dishwasher won't start. What is wrong
with the dishwasher?
A: This is a safety feature. The door must be closed within three seconds of pressing the Start button.
If the door is not closed within three seconds, an LED ashes, an audible alert sounds, and the
dishwasher does not operate. To start the dishwasher, open the door and either close the door and
press Start (front controls) or press Start and close the door within three seconds (top controls).
Q: Before loading dishes, should I pre-rinse dishes?
A: No, you don't need to pre-rinse the dishes before loading especially if using the Normal and Auto
cycles. The dishwasher washes dishes clean without pre-rinsing.
