NOTE
Very Important Information – Read Before Operating Your Dishwasher!
Normal Operating Sounds
This dishwasher does not sound like most dishwashers – IT’S QUIETER.
Your dishwasher with it’s Precision Direct Wash System has many enhancements to reduce it’s sound level. Still, it is normal to hear some of what is going on inside. The wash cycles include several instances of water entering the unit (splashing), the wash pump running to spray water on the dishware (motor & splashing) and the drain pump running to discharge the dirty water and soils. Variations in the pumping/spraying sounds are normal. During a cycle the pump switches on and off many times, and operation switches back and forth between wash arms to provide the best cleaning performance.

PLEASE BE ADVISED: If you compare this dishwasher to previous models, you may be surprised at what you DON’T hear.

FEATURES

Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot water and detergent through the spray arms against soiled surfaces. First, the dishwasher fills with water covering the filter area. Water is then pumped through the spray arms. Soil particles go through and across the filter and down the drain as the water is pumped out. This series of steps are repeated as needed. The number of water fills vary with the cycle being used.

NOTE
Not all cycles and options available on all models.

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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Getting Started

1. Load Dishwashe

2. Add detergent.

3. Add Rinse Aid, if needed.
   NOTE
   Run hot water faucet nearest dishwasher until water is hot. Turn water off.

7. To start, press START/CANCEL pad.

Wash Cycle Selections

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 cycle will be lengthened for automatic water heating in the main wash and final rinse of all cycles.

Option Selections

Heat Dry
The HEAT DRY option in combination with rinse aid will enhance drying performance. The energy required to use the HEAT DRY option costs pennies per cycle; however you will have items in your dish load that will not be completely dry at the end of the cycle.

Air Dry

De-selecting the HEAT DRY option, AIR DRY option reduces energy use and lowers cost by preventing the heating element from coming on during the drying portion of the cycle.
With this option drying may be improved by using rinse aid and opening the door slightly immediately after the cycle is complete.

To Cancel a Cycle
You can cancel a cycle anytime during the cycle. Press and hold the START/CANCEL pad for 3 seconds. The light above the cycle and option selected will go out, the START/CANCEL light will remain illuminated, the dishwasher will start a 90 second drain. At the end of the drain, select the next desired cycle.
Child Lock Controls
To prevent children from accidentally changing the dishwasher cycle or starting the dishwasher, lock the dishwasher controls by pressing and releasing the HEAT DRY pad for 3 seconds while the door is latched. An indicator light on the lock graphic pad will illuminate when the controls are locked and no new selections can be made until the lock is released. To unlock the controls, press the same pad, HEAT DRY pad, again for 2 seconds until the indicator light goes out.
*Status Indicator Light
The CLEAN light will come on at the end of the cycle and remain on until the door is opened.

Preparing and Loading Dishes

Dish Preparation

Scrape away large pieces of food, bones, pits, toothpicks, etc. The continuously filtered wash fluid will remove remaining food particles. Burned- on foods should be loosened before loading. Empty liquids from glasses and cups.

Load items with open ends facing down for better cleaning and draining.
Damage may occur if delicate items touch each other during dishwasher operation.
Long-handled knives and utensils can be placed in top rack.
Be sure nothing protrudes through the bottom of the rack to block rotation of middle spray arm.

Foods 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 pre-rinse or use the rinse only cycle to rinse off these food soils.

• Load racks so that large items do not prevent the detergent dispenser from opening.
• Check manufacturer’s recommendations before washing items in question.
• If the dishwasher drains into a Food Disposer, be sure disposer is completely empty before starting dishwasher.

Loading the Top Rack

Features and appearance of racks and silverware basket may vary from your model.
The upper rack is designed for flexibility in loading a wide variety of items including cups, glasses, stemware, small plates, bowls, etc.
Load glasses in top rack only. Damage may occur if placed in bottom rack.
Load plastic items in top rack only. Melting may occur if placed in bottom rack.

Load items with open ends facing down for better cleaning and draining.
Damage may occur if delicate items touch each other during dishwasher operation. Long-handled knives and utensils can be placed in top rack.
Be sure nothing protrudes through the bottom of the rack to block rotation of middle spray arm

Loading the Bottom Rack

Features and appearance of racks and silverware basket may vary from your model.

The lower rack is best for plates, saucers, bowls, and cookware. Large items should be placed along the edge so they do not block the spray arm rotation. For best results, place bowls, casseroles, and sauce pans with soiled surface facing down or toward the center. Tilt slightly for better drainage.
Spin the middle spray arm to make sure that tall items do not block the rotation.
Be sure pan handles do not protrude through the bottom of the rack and block the lower spray arm rotation.

Loading the Silverware Basket

CAUTION

Load sharp items (knives, skewers, etc.) pointing down. Failure to do so may result in injury.
Features and appearance of racks and silverware basket may vary from your model.
Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom rack or take the basket out for loading on a counter or table.

Use suggested loading patterns, as shown, to increase washability of the silverware.
Be sure nothing protrudes through bottom of basket or rack to block the spray arm.
Do not mix silver and stainless to avoid damaging the silver finish.
Mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing up and some down to avoid nesting. Water spray cannot reach nested items.

Adding a Dish

To add or remove items after wash cycle starts:

• Unlatch door and wait a few seconds until wash action stops before opening.

• Add the item and wait a few seconds to allow cold air to slowly expand inside dishwasher.

• Close the door firmly to latch and press the START/CANCEL pad to resume.
  CAUTION
  The use of industrial grade detergent can damage the heating coil and other parts of the dishwasher leading to damage to the unit and surrounding property. Use only household grade automatic dishwasher detergents.
  

• Add detergent just before starting cycle.

• Store detergent in a cool, dry location. Moist or caked detergent may not dissolve properly.

If the cover is closed on the Main Wash Cup open by pressing the Cover Latch.

How much Detergent to use

The amount of detergent to use depends on the water hardness. Water hardness is measured in grains per gallon. Using too little detergent can result in poor cleaning and hard water filming or spotting. Using too much detergent in soft water can cause etching to some glassware which is surface damage that appears like a film but cannot be wiped off. Your local water company, water softener company or county extension agent can tell you the water hardness in your area.

Detergent Usage Chart

Cycle| Soft Water (0-3 grains)| Medium Hard Water (4-8 grains)| Hard Water (9-12 grains)| Very Hard Water (Over 12 grains)
Heavy Wash or Normal Wash| 2 teaspoons (each cup 1/4 full)| 5 teaspoons (each cup filled to line above “Regular”)| 8 teaspoons (each cup completely full)| Each Cup Completely  Full (water softener recommended)

As a rule, use 1 teaspoon for each grain above 12. For very hard water, detergent alone may not be enough and then a water softener is recommended to improve water quality and dishwashing performance. However, when – using automatic dishwashing detergent tablets or packets simply place one in the main wash cup.

Rinse Aid

Rinse aid greatly improves drying and reduces water spots. With it water “sheets” off dishes rather than forming water droplets that cling and leave spots.
A dispenser, located next to the detergent cup, automatically releases a measured amount of rinse aid during the last rinse. If spotting and poor drying are problems, increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed by rotating the dial to a higher number. The dial is located under the dispenser cap. The indicator will be dark when full and will show clear when it is time to refill.
To add liquid rinse aid, turn dispense cap 1/4 turn counterclockwise and lift out. Pour in rinse aid until liquid touches the indicated fill level Replace cap.
Do not overfill since this can cause oversudsing. Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth.
The dispenser holds enough for 35 to 140 washes, depending on setting.

NOTE
The HEAT DRY option in combination with rinse aid will enhance drying performance. The energy required to use the HEAT DRY option costs pennies per cycle. You may choose not to select the HEAT DRY option; however you will have items in your dish load that will not be completely dry at the end of the cycle.

Water Pressure

The hot water line to dishwasher must provide water pressure between 20 and 120 psi.
Low Water pressure may occur when laundry or showers are in operation. If you experience poor wash performance you may need to wait until water use is reduced before starting dishwasher.

Water Temperature

Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and drying results. Water entering dishwasher should be at least 120oF (49oC) to give satisfactory results.

To check water temperature entering dishwasher:

• Turn on hot water faucet nearest dishwasher for several minutes to clear cool water from pipes.
• Hold a candy or meat thermometer in the water stream to check the temperature.
• If temperature is below 120oF (49oC), have a qualified person raise the hot water heater thermostat setting.

IMPORTANT
Before starting a cycle, run hot water to clear cool water from pipe.

CARE AND CLEANING

To empty the glass trap:

1. Grasp the glass trap’s handle and rotate it 900 clockwise while pressing down on the center of the wash arm.
2. Grab the spray arm in the center and lift the spray arm and glass trap assembly up and out form the dishwasher.
3. Tip the assembly over an appropriate container and tap it to empty the glass trap. OR, pull the glass trap handle toward you, then up, then further toward you to slide it away from the rest of the assembly to separate the glass trap to; empty it into an appropriate container; then slide the glass trap back into the assembly.
4. Place the assembly back into position, press down on the arm at the center and rotate the glass trap handle 900 counterclockwise being sure the glass trap ends in the orientation shown in the image above. To avoid damage to your unit make sure the spray arm and glass trap are fully snapped in place.
   NOTE
   Hard water may cause lime deposit buildup on the interior of the dishwasher. For cleaning instructions see “Removing Spots and film” section.

WARNING

Burn Hazard Allow heating element to cool before cleaning the interior. Failure to do so can result in burns
Outer Door – Clean outer door with warm soapy water and a dishcloth or sponge. Rinse with clean water and a dry cloth. Do not use harsh cleaners. Inside – The inside of the dishwasher and filter are self-cleaning with normal use. If needed, clean around the tub gasket area with a damp cloth. The filter is self-cleaning. A glass trap located in the center of the filter is designed to collect pieces of broken glass, straws, bones and pits. Overfill Protector- keeps dishwasher from overfilling and is located in the left front corner of the tub. · Clean occasionally with household
cleaner containing vinegar or bleach to dissolve any buildup. · Overfill Protector should move up and down freely about one inch. If it does not move, lift and clean underneath.

Care of Drain Air Gap

If a drain air gap was installed for your built-in dishwasher, check to make sure it is clean so the dishwasher will drain properly. A drain air gap is usually mounted on countertop and can be inspected by removing the cover. This is not part of your dishwasher and is not covered by warranty.

Winterizing

A dishwasher left in an unheated place should be protected from freezing. Have a qualified person do the following:

To Disconnect Service:

1. Turn off electrical power to the dishwasher at the supply source by removing fuses or tripping circuit breaker.
2. Shut off water supply
3. Place a pan under the inlet valve. Disconnect water line from inlet valve and drain into pan.
4. Disconnect drain line from pump and drain water into pan.

To Restore Service

1. Direct water line discharge into a pan and open the valve to flush the line.
2. Reconnect the water, drain, and electrical power supply.
3. Turn on water and electrical power supply.
4. Fill both detergent cups and run dishwasher through a HEAVY WASH cycle.
5. Check connections to make sure they do not leak.

• Check to see if cycle has been completed.
• Make sure items do not prevent the detergent dispenser from opening. Vapor at Vent
• Spilled rinse aid can cause foam and lead to overflowing. Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth.

Normal Sounds You Will Hear

• Normal sounds include water fill, water spray, draining and motor sounds.
• There is a noticeable change in sound when the wash action switches between the lower and middle spray arm. This is normal since each spray arm has its own sound.
• It is normal for the dishwasher to pause (no sound) when the wash action is switching between the lower and middle spray arms

Water in Bottom of Tub

• Water left in the tub bottom after the cycle is complete is not normal. If water remains in the bottom of the tub, the dishwasher may not be draining properly. (See Dishwasher Does not Drain Properly).

Dishwasher Leaks

• Check that the door gasket is pressed into its mounting channel, reaches to the bottom of the tub and does not extend beyond the end rib so as to interfere with door closure.
• Spilled rinse aide can cause foam and lead to overflowing. Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth.

Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly

• If unit is hooked up to a food waste disposer, make sure the disposer is empty.
• Assure the knockout plug has been removed from inside the food waste disposer inlet.
• Assure the drain hose isn’t kinked.
• Make sure cycle is complete, not in a pause.
• Assure the glass trap is maintained and installed properly assuring no clogs (See Care and Cleaning).

Cycle Takes a Long Time

• The cycle may have been automatically lengthened to reach key temperatures due to some factor such as a cool water supply or a large load of dishes.
• Delay Start option may have been selected.
• Choose lower temperature options to shorten the cycle.
• Cycles that are soil-sensing adjust automatically to assure a good wash – heavier soils will elicit a longer cycle response.·
