STEP 1. Load your dishwasher
with dishes, silverware, pots, pans,
bowls, etc. according to instructions
on pages 8 and 9.
STEP 2. Add detergent to the

Cycle Indicator Dial is at OFF
position before adding detergent.
(See pages 6 and 7.)
Use rinse aid agent to help prevent
spotting. (See page 6.)
STEP 3. Select DRYING HEAT
option. It must be ON for PLATE

at your option (see below), for any
of the wash cycles.
DRYING HEAT

fast drying.

to save energy. Dishes will dry
naturally over a longer period such
as overnight.

open the dishwasher door after the
cycle is complete to reduce the
natural drying time.
Use of this option reduces the
electrical energy used by this model
approximately 8% for the NORMAL
WASH cycle.
STEP 4. Select WATER
BOOST option.
WATER BOOST

ON: The wash cycle will extend for
approximately 9 minutes while the
dishwasher automatically heats the
water for good washing.
Note: The temperature of the
entering water must beat least

and boost the water temperature to
a good washing temperature of
OFF: Select this option when the
entering water temperature is
or higher.
See How to Test Water Temperature
on page 6.

the dishwasher.
If your dishwasher drains into a
food waste disposer, operate the
disposer until it is empty before
starting the dishwasher. (See Cycle
Selection Hints on page 5.)
To obtain the benefits of a complete
cycle, be careful that you do not
turn the dial any further than
necessary to start the dishwasher.
