6 Operating Instructions
DISH PREPARATION
It is not necessary to rinse dishes before putting
them into the dishwasher. Just remove large
pieces and quantities of food, bones, pits, etc.
Empty glasses and cups. It may be necessary to
presoak or lightly scour firmly cooked-on or baked-
on foods.
Food 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. Unless the
dishwasher is to be operated at once, it is best to
rinse off these food soils.
Hi-Temp Wash Option
When HI-TEMP WASH ON option is selected, the
dishwasher heats the water in the main wash to
approximately 140°F (60°C).
This increase in water temperature helps
dishwasher detergent remove food grease and soil
from dishes more effectively and aids in drying.
HI-TEMP WASH option can be used with all cycles
except CHINA CRYSTAL and RINSE ONLY. HI-
TEMP WASH is automatically provided when
HEAVY WASH cycle is selected.
To turn off the HI-TEMP WASH option, press the
pad a second time.
Air Dry Option
The unit defaults to heated dry when it is started
with any cycle selected. This drying uses a
combination of the heated dry with rinse aid that
achieves enhanced drying performance. If you
prefer to only have AIR DRY for dishes, you will
select AIR DRY and the uit will not energize the
heating element. This will reduce energy
consumption, but reduce drying performance.
Delay Start
The DELAY START option allows you to
automatically delay starting your dishwasher from 2
- 4 hours.
To cancel the delay and start the cycle before the
delay period is over, open the door and press the
START/CANCEL key. Close the door and the cycle
will start.
Make cycle selections, press the DELAY START
key until the desired delay LED is it, then close the
door and the delay time will start.
• Load dishes facing the center of the rack so
that the water spray from the rotating spray
arm can reach soiled surfaces.
• Be sure large items do not block the
detergent dispenser, preventing it from
opening during the wash cycle.
• To be sure an item is dishwasher safe, read
the manufacturer’s care instructions.
• If the dishwasher drains into a food
disposer, be sure disposer is completely
empty before dishwasher is started.
• To save energy, wash full loads.
• For best washing results, load correctly and
avoid overloading.
