Very Important Information—
Read Before Operating Your
Dishwasher!
Normal Operating
Sounds
This dishwasher does not sound like most
dishwashers—IT’S QUIETER!
The new wash system uses energy efficient
motors for the wash and drain portions of the
cycle you select. Each cycle has a series of
water fills and drains for washing and rinsing
dishes. As each cycle begins, you may–or may
not–hear the drain motor.
The next sound you will hear is the splashing
water as it enters the tub. Then the lower arm
rotates and circulates water. This is followed
by a pause and a slightly different sound as
the upper arm sprays water. If you listen
closely, you will hear the change in sound as
the wash action switches from one arm to the
other.
PLEASE BE ADVISED: If you compare this
dishwasher to previous models, you may
be surprised at what you DON’T hear!

Operating Instructions
Vent Latch
Delay Start
Allows you to delay starting the POTS & PANS
cycle up to 6 hours.
• Turn dial to select number of hours.
• Select HI-TEMP WASH ON option and other
desired options.
• Close door to latch. The DELAY START light
will come on.
Getting Started
1. Load dishwasher (See Preparing and
Loading Dishes).
2. Add detergent (See Dishwasher Dispenser
& Detergents).
3. Add rinse aid, if needed (See Rinse Aid).
Wash Cycle Selections
Note: Cycle times are approximate and will
vary with options selected. Hot water is
necessary to activate dishwasher detergent and
melt fatty food soils. An automatic sensor will
check the incoming water temperature and, if it
is not hot enough, the timer will be delayed for
automatic water heating in the main wash of
all cycles. This happens even though HI-TEMP
WASH ON option has not been selected. When
HI-TEMP WASH ON is selected, an even higher
temperature will be guaranteed to handle
heavier soil loads.
4. Turn dial clockwise to select cycle (See
Cycle Chart) or number of hours for delay
start.
5. Select desired energy OPTIONS (See Energy
Options). The indicator will show red when
selected.
6. For instructions on connecting the portable
dishwasher, see “Connecting and
Disconnecting the Portable/Convertible
Dishwasher.”
7. If using DELAY START, go to step number 9.
8. Run hot water faucet nearest dishwasher
until water is hot. Turn water off.
9. To start, close door to latch.
