GETTING STARTED
To run your dishwasher, follow these
basic steps:
1 Load dishwasher. (See Preparing and
Loading Dishes)
WASH CYCLE SELECTIONS
This increase in water temperature helps dish-
washer detergent remove food grease and soil from
dishes more effectively and aids in drying. This
option is available in NORMAL WASH and LIGHT
WASH. HI-TEMP WASH is automatically provided
when HEAVY WASH cycle is selected.
Cycle times are approximate and will vary with
options selcted. Hot water is necessary to activate
dishwasher detergent and melt fatty food soils. An
automatic sensor will check the incoming water
temperature and, it it is not hot enough, the timer
will be delayed for automatic water heating in the
main wash of all cycles. This happens even when
HI-TEMP WASH option has not been selected. When
HI-TEMP WASH is selected, an even higher tempera-
ture will be guaranteed to handle heavier soil loads.
OPTION SELECTIONS
Hi-Temp Wash
Sanitize Option
To sanitize your dishes and glassware, select the
SANITIZE option. When selected, the light above the
pad will come on. The water temperature in the
final rinse will be raised to 155 o F (68 o C) assuring
bacteria is destroyed. This option is available in
HEAVY WASH, NORMAL WASH and LIGHT WASH.
Only these sanitization cycles have been designed to
meet NSF requirements.
The cycle time will be extended until the proper
water temperatures are reached. Washing action
will continue during the water heating delay. For
best results, the incoming water temperature should
be at least 120 o F (49 o C).
The sanitize criteria may not be satisfied if there is
an interruption of the cycle, power failure or if the
incoming water temperture is below 120 o F (49 o C).
To turn off the SANITIZE option, press the pad a
second time. The light above the pad will turn off.
When HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, the dish-
washer heats water in the main wash to approxi-
mately 140 o F (60 o C).
To Cancel a Cycle
You can cancel a cycle anytime during the cycle.
Press START/CANCEL pad and the dishwasher will
start a 60 second drain. At the end of the drain,
select the desired cycle.
When an option is selected, the light above the pad
will come on and remain on until end of cycle. To
turn off the option, press the pad a second time.
The light above the pad will turn off.
NOTE
The dishwasher is programmed to remember
your last cycle so you do not have to reset each
time. To start the dishwasher using the same
cycle and options selected on the previous wash,
just press the START/CANCEL pad.
