Very Important Information
– Read Before Operating Your Dishwasher!
Normal Operating Sounds
This dishwasher does not sound like most dishwashers – IT’S QUIETER.
Your Precision Direct Wash System dishwasher uses energy efficient motors for
the wash and drain portions of the cycle you select. Each cycle has a series
of water fills and drains for washing and rinsing dishes. As each cycle
begins, you may – or may not – hear the drain motor.
The next sound you will hear is the splashing water as it enters the tub. Then the lower arm rotates and circulates water. This is followed by a pause and a slightly different sound as the upper arms spray water. If you listen closely, you will hear the change in sound as the wash action switches from one arm to the other.
PLEASE BE ADVISED: If you compare this dishwasher to previous models, you may be surprised at what you DON’T hear.
Features at a Glance
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.
Features may vary according to model
Getting Started
- Load Dishwasher (See Preparing and Loading Dishes).
- Add detergent (See Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents).
- Add Rinse Aid, if needed (See Rinse Aid). RUN HOT WATER FAUCET NEAREST DISHWASHER UNTIL WATER IS HOT. TURN WATER OFF.
- Close door to latch.
- Select desired CYCLE (See Cycle Chart). The indicator light next to the pad will glow when selected.
- Select desired HEAT/AIR DRY OPTION. The indicator light above the pad will glow when selected.
- To start, press START/CANCEL pad.
Not all cycles and options available on all models.
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.
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.
Operating Instructions
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 accidently 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.
If the dishwasher door is opened while the unit is running, the START/CANCEL
pad must be pressed and the door shut immediately to return the unit to the
selected cycle and option, this must happen within 10 minutes for the unit to
continue the cycle.

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. 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.
Make sure tall items do not block spray arm rotation.
Be sure pan handles do not protrude through the bottom of the rack and block
the spray arm rotation.
Loading the Silverware Basket
Warning
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 fi nish.
When covers are up, 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 door firmly to latch and press START/CANCEL immediately to resume cycle.
Dishwasher Dispenser and Detergents
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.
Filing the Detergent Dispenser
The detergent dispenser has one covered and one uncovered cup. Detergent in the uncovered cup falls into the dishwasher when the door is closed. The covered cup opens automatically to release detergent.
- Use only fresh automatic dishwashing detergent. Other detergents may cause oversudsing.
- When using automatic dishwashing detergent tabs, place one tab in main wash cup and close.
- 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 cup1/4 full)| 5 teaspoons
(each cup- fi ll 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.
Factors Affecting Performance
Rinse Aid
Rinse aid greatly improves drying, reduces water spots, filming, and
lubricates wash arm bearing for proper rotation. 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.
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
- Grasp the glass trap’s handle and rotate it 900 clockwise while pressing down on the center of the wash arm.
- Grab the spray arm in the center and lift the spray arm and glass trap assembly up and out form the dishwasher.
- Tip the assembly over an appropriate container and tap it to empty the glass trap. OR, separate the glass trap – pull the glass trap handle toward you, then up, then further toward you to slide it away from the rest of the assembly; empty it into an appropriate container; then slide the glass trap back into the assembly.
- 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.
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.
Hard water may cause lime deposit buildup on the interior of the dishwasher.
For cleaning instructions see “Removing Spots and film” section.
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:
- Turn off electrical power to the dishwasher at the supply source by removing fuses or tripping circuit breaker.
- Shut off water supply
- Place a pan under the inlet valve. Disconnect water line from inlet valve and drain into pan.
- Disconnect drain line from pump and drain water into pan.
- Reconnect the water, drain, and electrical power supply.
- Turn on water and electrical power supply
- Fill both detergent cups and run dishwasher through a HEAVY WASH cycle.
- Check connections to make sure they do not leak.
See Installation Instructions for more details on disconnecting and restoring
service to your dishwasher.
Before You Call
Before calling for service, review this list. It may save you both time and
expense. This list includes common experiences that are not the result of
defective workmanship or material in your dishwasher.
Food Soils Left on Dishes
- Choose another cycle for longer washing time.
- Check rack loading section for proper loading-avoid nesting items.
- Do not overload the dishwasher (See Preparing and Loading Dishes).
- Check to verify that the glass trap is maintained and installed properly (See Care and Cleaning).
- Home water pressure may be too low should be 20 to 120 pounds per square inch (psi).
- Check incoming water temperature. It should be about 120oF (49oC). (See Factors Affection Performance.)
- Check water hardness. For extremely hard water, it may be necessary to install a water softener. (See Detergent Chart).
- Use Fresh Detergent.
- Make sure items are not blocking the spray arms, preventing them from rotating.
Dishes not Dry
- By selecting Heat Dry option this will improve drying.
- Make sure the rinse aid dispenser is filled.
- Increase the discharge setting of rinse aid. (See Rinse Aid).
- Check the incoming water temperature. Be sure it is at least 120oF (49oC).
- Check for proper loading-avoid nesting items.
- Plastic items may need to be towel dried.
- Cups with a concave bottom will collect water. Load them at the far left of the upper rack so they will be held in a tilted position.
- Containers, bowls, pots/pans, and any dishware with concave surfaces that can collect water should be placed in the rack facing or angled down so that water is able to drain even from the lowest point.
Glassware/Flatware Spotted or Cloudy
- Check water hardness. For extremely hard water, it may be necessary to install a water softener. (See Detergent Chart).
- Water temperature may be low. Avoid extremely low or high temperatures. (See Factors Affecting Performance.
- Avoid overloading and improper loading. (See Preparing and Loading Dishes).
- Use fresh detergent. Old detergent is ineffective.
- Make sure rinse aid dispenser is filled.
- Check to see that proper amount of detergent is being used for cycle selected. (See Detergent Dispenser).
- Home water pressure may be too low-it should be 20 to 120 pounds per square inch (psi).
Before You Call
Dishware Chipped
- Load with care and do not overload. (See Preparing and Loading Dishes).
- Place delicate items in top rack.
- Place glasses securely against pins and not over pins.
- Load items so they are secure and don’t jar loose when moving racks in and out. Move racks in and out slowly.
- Make sure tall glasses and stemware will clear top of tub when rack is pushed in.
- Fine antique china and crystal should be hand-washed.
Dishware Stained or Discolored
-
Tea and coffee can stain cups. Remove the stains by hand washing in a solution of 1/2 cup (120 ml) bleach and one quart (1L) of warm water. Rinse thoroughly.
-
Iron deposits in water can cause a yellow or brown film. A special filter installed in the water supply line will correct this problem. (See Removing Spots and Film).
-
Aluminum utensils can leave gray/black marks when they rub against other items.
Load Properly. -
Certain high acid foods can cause discoloration of stainless steel and plastics if allowed to sit for a long period. Rinse by hand if not operating dishwasher at once.
-
Mixing stainless steel and silver utensils in silverware basket can cause pitting of the stainless steel blades. Avoid mixing stainless steel and silve.
Etching
- Using too much detergent especially in soft or softened water causes damage that looks like a fi lm but cannot be removed.
- Adjust the amount of detergent based on the water hardness. (Check Detergent Chart).
- Lower the water temperature by selecting the Normal Cycle.
Dishwasher Won’t Fill
- Assure the water supply is turned on.
- Check that the overfill protector moves up and down freely. (See Overfill Protector section).
Detergent Left in Cups
- Detergent may be old. Discard and use fresh detergent.
- Be sure the dish load doesn’t spray from entering the detergent cup.
- Check to see if cycle has been completed.
- Make sure items do not prevent the detergent dispenser from opening.
Vapor at Vent
- Water vapor escapes from the vent during the drying part of cycle. This is normal.
- Spilled rinse aid can cause foam and lead to overfl owing. Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth.
- Check to see that dishwasher is level. (See Installation Instructions).
Normal Sounds You Will Hear
- Normal sounds include water fi ll, water circulation 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 it’s 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.
- Check to see that the dishwasher is level. (See Installation Instructions).
- Avoid oversudsing by using the correct amount of detergent designed for automatic dishwashers.
- Check to see that dishwasher is level. (See Installation Instructions).
Dishwasher Won’t Run
- Check to see if circuit breaker is tripped or if a fuse is blown.
- Make sure water supply is turned on.
- Check to see if cycle is set correctly. (See Operating Instructions).
- Make sure door is closed and latched.
- Make sure START/CANCEL pad is pressed after the cycle has been selected.
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.
- 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.
Dishwasher has an Odor
- Soiled dishes left in dishwasher too long can create an odor. Use Rinse Only cycle.
- There will be a “new” smell when fi rst installed. This is normal.
- Check to see if unit is draining properly. (See Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly).
Stains on Tub Interior
- Washing large amounts of dishware with tomato based soil can cause a pink/ orange appearance. This will not affect performance and will gradually fade over time. Pre-rinsing or using the Rinse Only cycle will reduce the chance of staining. Using no heat dry option will lessen staining.
Opening the door during cycle
- If the dishwasher door is opened while the unit is running, the START/CANCEL pad must be pressed and the door shut immediately to return the unit to the selected cycle and option, this must happen within 10 minutes for the unit to continue the cycle.
Removing Spots and Film
Hard water can cause lime deposit buildup on the interior of the dishwasher. Dishes and glasses may also get spots and film for a number of reasons. (See Glassware/Flatware Spotted or Cloudy section). To remove buildup, and film, clean using the following instructions:
- Load clean dishes and glasses in normal manner. Do not load any metal utensils or silverware.
- Do not add detergent.
- Select the NORMAL WASH cycle. Close and latch door. Press START/CANCEL pad.
