Dishwasher Use

Hot Water

• For optimal cleaning and drying results, hot water is necessary. The incoming water temperature should be 120°F (49°C) to properly activate the detergent and melt greasy food soils.
• To check the incoming water temperature, tum on the hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher and let it run into a glass in the sink. Place a candy thermometer in the glass and check the temperature once it has stopped rising.

Detergent
Use a detergent designed specifically for use in an automatic dishwasher. Be sure it is fresh. Store granular detergent in a cool, dry place (not under the sink).

Recommended Amount

• Too little detergent results in poor cleaning, hard water filming/spotting and poor drying. Too much detergent can cause permanent etching/cloudiness.

• The amount of detergent to use is determined by the hardness of the water and soil level of the load. Refer to the following chart for detergent usage recommendations.
  Your local water utility or state mirersity extension service can tell you the degree of water hardness in your area.

• In extremely hard water conditions (13 grains per gallon or more*), it is difficult to achieve good results with any dishwasher. A mechanical water softener may be necessary to improve water quality, detergent effectiveness, and protect the dishwasher parts from the damage that hard water can cause.

• Add recommended amount of detergent to each cup as shown and close the detergent lid.

• Do not use detergent with the Rinse Only (select models)cycle. Leave the detergent lid open when running Rinse Only (select models).

Rinse Aid

• Regular use of a rinse aid improves drying. reduces spotting and filming, and reduces moisture left on the dishwasher interior.
• An automatic rinse aid dispenser is located next to the detergent cup.
• The window next to the dispenser cap indicates when the rinse aid reservoir needs to be refilled. When the level of rinse aid is below the indicator marks and the window is nearly clear, it is time to refill the dispenser. Check the dispenser monthly.
• To add rinse aid to the dispenser, turn the cap counterclockwise to opet. Remove the cap and pour Liquid titse aid into the opening. The amount of rinse aid dispensed during the cycle is adjustable by moving the lever inside the reservoir atea. For most water conditions use the manufacturer recommended setting of “2”. Adjust it up to the “MAX” setting for hard water. Set the lever anywhere between these amounts as needed to get the best results. Replace the cap and turn it clockwise to close.

• The dishwasher interior is normally self-cleaning Periodically check the bottom of the dishwasher tub to see if any large particles remain.
• Wipe the edge of the inner door liner to remove any food soil splashes which occurred during loading.
• When cleaning stainless steel always wipe with the grain. Never use products containing chlorine bleach or citric acid.
• The color from some tomato-based food soils may occasionally adhere to various components of the dishwasher interior, causing temporary discoloration.
• To minimize this:
  • Remove excess tomato-based food soils from dishes, prior to loading.
  • Run the Heavy Washeycle when washing loads containing tomato-based food soils.
  • Use a dishwasher detergent that contains chlorine to better fight staining.

• Fil detergent cup with a fresh-scented dishwasher detergent or baking soda and select the Normal Wash cycle. Allow the dishwasher to complete the cycle. Then turn the water supply off and drain the dishwasher. To drain, press the START/Cancelpad once to activate  the dishwasher. Press START/Cancel again to activate the drain.
