Dishwasher Features

Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot water and detergent through the spray arms against soiled surfaces. Each cycle begins with a pre- drain. Next, the dishwasher fills with water covering the filter area. Water is then pumped through the filter and spray arms. Soil particles go down the drain as the water is pumped out and replaced with clean water. The number of water fills will vary with the cycle being used.

Operating Instructions

Very Important Information -Read Before Operating Your Dishwasher!

Normal Operating Sounds

• This dishwasher does not sound like most dishwashers’s QUIETER.
• Your Precision 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 may­or 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 middle arm sprays 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!

Getting Started

1. Load dishwasher (See Preparing and Loading Dishes).
2. Add detergent (See Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents).
3. Add rinse aid, if needed (See Rinse Aid).
4. Close the door to latch.
5. Select the desired CYCLE (See Cycle Chart). The indicator light above the pad will glow when selected.
6. Select desired OPTIONS (See Energy Options). The indicator light above the pad will glow when selected.
7. Run the hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher until the water is hot. Turn the water off.
8. To start, press the START/CANCEL pad.

Wash Cycle Selections
Note: Cycle times are approximate and will vary with the 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 timer will be delayed for automatic water heating in the main wash of all cycles. This happens even when the HI-TEMP WASH option has not been selected. When HI-TEMP WASH is selected an even higher temperature will be guaranteed to handle heavier soil loads.

The Smart Sensor checks the soil level on your dishes in the Pots Pan, Normal, and Light Wash (Both Racks) cycles. Depending on the soil level, the sensor will determine if additional water fills are needed to clean the dishes or if water fills can be deleted. Cycle time and water usage will vary based on the amount of soil on the dishes. Cycle time will also vary based on the options selected and the incoming water temperature. Note: Not all cycles are available on all models.

Options Selections

Hi-Temp Wash

• When the HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, the dishwasher heats water in the main wash to approximately 140°F (60°C).
• This increase in water temperature helps dishwasher detergent remove food grease and soil from dishes more effectively and aids in drying.
• HI-TEMP WASH option can be used with all cycles except CHINA CRYSTAL and RINSE HOLD. HI-TEMP WASH is automatically provided when the POTS PANS cycle is selected.
• When the HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, the light above the pad will come on and remain on until the end of the cycle. To turn off the HI-TEMP WASH option, press the pad a second time. The light above the pad will turn off.

Sanitize Option

• To sanitize your dishes and glassware, select the SANITIZE option. When selected, the light above the pad will come on and remain til the end of the cycle. The water temperature in the final rinse will be raised to 150°F (66°C) and will maintain that temperature for 9 minutes. This option is available in Pots Pans, Normal, and Light (Both Racks) cycles.

• The cycle time will be extended until the proper water temperature is reached. Washing action will continue during the water heating delay. For best results, the incoming water temperature should be at least 120°F (49°C).

• The sanitizing criteria may not be satisfied if there is an interruption of the cycle, power failure, or if the incoming water temperature is below 120°F
  (49°C).

• To turn off the SANITIZE option, press the pad a second time. The light above the pad will turn off.

Power Dry Off

• THE POWER DRY OFF option saves electricity since the heating element is off during the drying portion of the cycle. When selected, the light above the pad will come on and remain on until the end of the cycle. To speed up the drying process, open the door slightly after the cycle is complete. Some water droplets may remain on the door and tub and in areas where dishes touch the silverware basket and rack.
• To select heated dry, press the pad a second time. The light above the pad will turn off. Heated drying provides faster drying since the heating element is on during the drying portion of the cycle. With either option, a fan circulates the air inside the dishwasher to speed drying.
• You may see water vapor coming from the vent during the rinsing and drying portion of the cycle. The vent is closed during washing to hold moisture and sound inside. The vent opens during the last few minutes of the final rinse and remains open for drying. The drying option may be changed at any time during the cycle and affects only the drying period.
• Opening the door longer than one minute during the dry cycle cancels the selected dry program.

Delay Start

• The DELAY START option allows you to delay starting your dishwasher up to 9 hours or up to 6 hours (some models).
• Press the DELAY START pad until the desired delay time shows in the STATUS window. On models with a 2-4-6 hour delay, press the pad once for a 2-hour delay, twice for 4 hours, and three times for 6 hours. A light will come on indicating the delayed start hours and will remain on until the cycle starts.
• To cancel the DELAY START option and begin the cycle before the delay period is over, press the START/CANCEL pad.

To Cancel a Cycle
You can cancel a cycle anytime during the cycle. Press the START/CANCEL pad and the dishwasher will start a 90-second drain. At the end of the drain, select the desired cycle.
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.

Status Indicator Lights

• The SENSING light comes on at the beginning of the selected cycle and will remain on until the end of the sensing sequence.
• The WASHING light comes on at the beginning of the cycle and remains on until the end of the main wash.
• The RINSING light will come on and remain on during the last two rinses of all cycles. If RINSE HOLD is selected, the RINSING light will remain on until the door is opened.
• The DRYING light indicates the drying portion of the cycle. The light will come on when either drying option is selected.
• The CLEAN light will come on at the end of the cycle and remain on until the door is opened.

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 POWER DRY OFF pad, then pressing and holding the POWER DRY OFF pad for 5 seconds. The CONTROLS light will come on and no new selections can be made until the lock is released. To unlock the controls, press the POWER DRY OFF pad for 5 seconds until the CONTROLS light goes out.

Status Window
The STATUS window, available on some models, indicates the following activity:

Note: The time remaining could suddenly increase or drop several minutes. This means the Smart Sensor has checked the soil level and determined if additional water fills are needed or if water fills can be deleted.

Preparing and Loading Dishes

Dish Preparation
Scrape away large pieces of food, bones, pits, toothpicks, etc. The continuous filtered wash system will remove the 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. Unless the dishwasher is to be operated at once, it is best to rinse off these food soils.

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

Loading the Top Rack
Features and appearance of racks and silverware baskets may vary from your model.

Important: Do not cover the funnel when loading.

• The upper rack is designed for flexibility in loading a wide variety of items including cups, glasses, stemware, small plates, bowls, etc.
• Load plastic items in the top rack only. Melting may occur if placed in the bottom rack.
• Be sure nothing protrudes through the bottom of the rack to block the rotation of the middle spray arm.

Grabber (available select models)
The Grabber offers the ultimate in flexibility. When closed, load with saucers or small dishes. Open halfway and it is perfect for small casseroles. Open completely for those hard-to-fit items such as coffee pots, food processors, etc. As you load your dishwasher, you will find many other ways to use this unique feature.

Cup Shelf/Stemware Holder
The cup shelf/stemware holder handles your delicate stemware with care. It can also be used to hold two layers of cups, mugs, and other short items. When using both levels, alternate items with the layer below so that water can reach all inside surfaces. Fold up to load tall glasses.

Upper Rack Option
THE LIGHT WASH-UPPER RACK option can be used to wash a wide assortment of items when you don’t have a full load. Also, when the upper rack fills up with glasses and the lower rack is still empty, you don’t have to wait anymore for clean glasses.

Utility Basket
The utility basket has two dividers that can be opened to hold longer items or closed for small items like measuring spoons, bottle stoppers, etc. The covers on each end can be folded down out of the way or closed to keep small items inside. The utility basket also doubles as a silverware basket when using the LIGHT WASH-UPPER RACK option.

Loading the Bottom Rack

• Features and appearance of racks and silverware baskets 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 saucepans with the soiled surfaces 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.

Lower Rack Option (available select THE models)
LIGHT WASH-LOWER RACK option can be used for lightly soiled pots and pans, large bowls, casseroles, and odd-shaped items when you do not have a full load. This option is perfect for those leftover items you usually have to wash by hand.

Fold-down Tines
The fold-down tines in the lower rack make easy loading for those extra large and hard-to-fit items. The tines may be left up for normal use or folded down for more flexible loading.

Loading the Silverware Basket
Mix spoons, forks, and knives to prevent nesting. Mixing items gives better cleaning and drying.

• For safety, load sharp knives and forks with handles up.
• Be sure nothing protrudes through the bottom of the basket or rack to block the spray arm.
• Do not mix silver and stainless to avoid damaging the silver finish.
• Some models have a covered section to hold small items like measuring spoons, small plastic items, etc. Close cover to keep items in place.

Adding a Dish
To add or remove items after the wash cycle starts:

• Unlatch the door and wait a few seconds until the wash action stops before opening.
• Add the item and wait a few seconds to allow cold air to slowly expand inside the dishwasher.
• Close the door firmly to latch. Press the START/CANCEL pad to resume the cycle.

Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents

• Use only fresh automatic dishwashing detergent. Other types will cause oversudsing.
• Add detergent just before starting the cycle.
• Store detergent in a cool, dry location. Moist or caked detergent will not dissolve properly.

Filling 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 in the main wash.

How many detergents to use

• The amount of detergent to use depends on the water’s 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 permanent etching on glassware. Your local water company, water softener company, or county extension agent can tell you the water hardness in your area.
• More detergent may be needed if the phosphorus content is 8. 7% or less.
• The phosphorus content is shown on the detergent label.

12 grains and higher is extremely hard water. Detergent alone may not be enough. A water softener is recommended to improve water quality and dishwashing performance.

Rinse Aid

• Rinse aid greatly improves drying and reduces water spots and filming. 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. On models with a STATUS window, LO will appear at the end of the cycle indicating that it is time to refill.
• To add liquid rinse aid, turn the dispenser 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 the setting.

Factors Affecting Performance

Water Pressure

• The hot water line to the dishwasher must provide water pressure between 20 and 120 psi.
• Low water pressure may occur when laundry or showers are in operation. Wait until water use is reduced before starting the dishwasher.

Water Temperature

• Hot water is needed for the best dishwashing and drying results. Water entering the dishwasher should be at least 120 °F (49°C) to give satisfactory results.

To check the water temperature entering the dishwasher:

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

Important: Before starting a cycle, run hot water to clear cool water from the pipe.

Care and Cleaning

Warning: Burn Hazard

Outside -Occasionally wipe with a mild nonabrasive detergent and water. Rinse and dry.
Models with Stainless Steel Door­Clean stainless steel door and handle with Stainless Steel Magic, a trademark of Magic American Corp., or similar product using a clean, soft cloth. Avoid harsh or gritty cleaners or scouring pads which may scratch the finish.

The inside of the dishwasher is self­cleaning with normal use. If needed, clean around the tub gasket area
with a damp cloth.
The filter is self­cleaning. A glass trap located in the center of the filter is designed to collect pieces of broken glass, straws, bones, and pits. To remove items in the glass trap, grasp the handle, lift out, and empty.

note: Hard water may cause lime deposit buildup on the interior of the dishwasher. For cleaning instructions see the “Removing Spots and Film” section.
Overfill Protector-keeps dishwasher from overfilling and is located in the left front corner of the tub.

Overfill Protector- keeps dishwasher from overfilling and is located in the left front corner of the tub.

• Clean occasionally with a 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 the countertop and can be inspected by removing the cover. This is not part of your dishwasher and is not covered by warranty.

caution: Property Damage Hazard

• Freezing temperatures may cause water lines to rupture. Be sure all supply lines to and circulating lines within the dishwasher are protected.
• Failure to do so could result in property damage.

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 breakers.
2. Shut off the water supply.
3. Place a pan under the inlet valve. Disconnect the water line from the inlet valve and drain into the pan.
4. Disconnect the drain line from the pump and drain the water into the pan.

To Restore Service:

1. Reconnect the water, drain, and electrical power supply.
2. Turn on the water and electrical power supply.
3. Fill both detergent cups and run the dishwasher through a POTS PANS cycle.
4. Check connections to make sure they do not leak.

Note: See Installation Instructions for more details.

Solutions to Common Dishwashing Problems

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 a longer washing time.
• Check rack loading section for proper loading-avoid nesting items.
• Home water pressure may be low-low and should be 20 to 120 pounds per square inch (psi).
• Check incoming water temperature. It should be at least 120 ° F (49° C). (See Factors Affecting Performance.)
• Check water hardness. For extremely hard water, it may be necessary to install a water softener. (See Detergent Chart.)
• Use fresh detergent.
• Check to make sure the funnel in the top rack is not blocked.
• Make sure items are not blocking the spray arms, preventing them from rotating.
• Check to see if the rinse aid dispenser needs refilling.

Dishes not Dry

• Select the heat dry option.
• Make sure the rinse aid dispenser is filled.
• Increase the amount of rinse aid. (See Rinse Aid.)
• Check the incoming water temperature. Be sure it is at least 120° F (49°C).
• Check for proper loading-avoid nesting items.
• Plastic items may need to be towel-dried.
• Cups with a concave bottom will collect water.

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 the rinse aid dispenser is filled.
• Check to see that the proper amount of detergent is being used for the cycle selected. Also, check the phosphate level. (See Detergent Dispenser.)
• Home water pressure may be too low-it should be 20 to 120 pounds per square inch (psi).

Dishware Chipped

• Load with care and do not overload. (See Preparing and Loading Dishes.)
• Place delicate items on the 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 the top of the tub when the 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 (1 L) 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. Use the Rinse Hold cycle or rinse by hand if not operating the dishwasher at once.
• Mixing stainless steel and silver utensils in a silverware basket can cause pitting of the stainless steel blades. Avoid mixing stainless steel and silver.

Etching

• using too much detergent in soft or softened water causes this film that cannot be removed.
• Adjust the amount of detergent based on the water hardness. (Check Detergent Chart.)\
• Lower the water temperature.
• Use the no heat dry option.

Detergent Left in Cups

• The detergent may be old. Discard and use fresh detergent.
• Be sure water action can reach the dispenser.
• Check to see if the cycle has been completed.
• Make sure items do not prevent the detergent dispenser from opening.

Dishwasher Leaks

• Use only fresh detergent designed for automatic dishwashers. Measure detergent carefully. Try a different brand.
• Spilled rinse aid 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.)

Normal Sounds You Will Hear

• Normal sounds include water fill, water circulation, and motor sounds.
• There is a noticeable change in sound when the wash action switches between the lower and middle spray arms. This is normal since each spray arm has its 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 the Bottom of the Tub
Water left in the bottom of the tub after the cycle is complete is not normal. If water remains in the bottom of the dishwasher may not be draining properly. (See Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly.)

Vapor at Vent
Water vapor escapes from the vent during the final rinse and drying part of cycle. This is normal.

Dishwasher Won’t Run

• Check to see if the circuit breaker is tripped or if a fuse is blown.
• Make sure the water supply is turned on.
• Check to see if the cycle is set correctly. (See Operating Instructions.)
• Is the dishwasher set for a delayed start option?
• Make sure the door is closed and latched.

Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly

• If the unit is hooked up to a food waste disposer, make sure the disposer is empty.
• Check to see if the knockout plug has been removed from inside the food waste disposer inlet.
• Check to see if the drain hose is kinked.
• Make sure the cycle is complete, not in a pause.

Cycle Takes a Long Time

• Is the cycle in a water heating delay?
• Has the delay start option been selected?
• Has the sanitize option been selected?

Dishwasher Won’t Fill

• Is the water supply turned on?
• Does the overfill protector move up and down freely? (See Overfill Protector section.)

Dishwasher Has an Odor

• Soiled dishes left in the dishwasher for too long can create an odor. Use Rinse Hold cycle.
• There will be a “new” smell when first installed. This is normal.
• Check to see if the 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 Hold cycle will reduce the chance of staining. Using no heat dry option will lessen staining.

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 several reasons. (See Glassware/Flatware Spotted or Cloudy section.) To remove buildup, spots, and film, clean using the following instructions:

1. Load clean dishes and glasses in the normal manner. Do not load any metal utensils or silverware.
2. Do not add detergent.
3. Select the NORMAL WASH cycle. Close and latch the door. Press START/CANCEL pad.
4. Allow the dishwasher to run until it starts the second water fill (approximately 10 minutes). The SENSING light will be off.
5. Unlatch and open the door and pour 2 cups of white vinegar into the bottom of the dishwasher.
6. Close and latch the door. Press START/
   CANthe the CEL pad and allow the cycle to finish.

Note: If these conditions persist, a home water softener should be considered.
