Adding Detergent and Rinse Agent
Detergent
Use only detergent specically designed for dishwashers.
For best results, use fresh powdered dishwashing
detergent.
Rinse Agent
To achieve proper drying, always use a liquid rinse agent,
even if your detergent contains a rinse agent or drying
additive.
ATTENTION
To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use hand
dishwashing products in your dishwasher.
■
To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use too much
detergent if your water is soft. Using too much detergent
in soft water may cause etching in glassware.
The dishwasher uses less water so you need to use less
detergent. With soft water, 1 tbsp. (15ml) of detergent will
clean most loads. The detergent dispenser cup has lines
that measure detergent to:
1 tablespoon (15ml) AND•
1.75 tablespoons (25ml)•
3 tablespoons (45ml) of detergent will completely ll the
detergent dispenser cup.
NOTE: If you do not know the hardness of your water
supply, use 15ml of detergent. Increase the amount,
if necessary, to the least amount required to get your
kitchenware clean.
NOTE: The dishwasher indicates low rinse agent by the
Rinse Agent Indicator Light.
Add liquid rinse agent to the dispenser until the rinse
agent reservoir is full. Wipe up any excess rinse agent
that puddles when the dispenser reservoir is full.
After lling the rinse agent dispenser, the indicator light
will go out in a few minutes after the dishwasher door is
shut.
Refer to the following page for more information on adding
detergent and rinse agent to the dishwasher.
Use the measuring lines in the detergent dispenser
cup as a guide to measure the amount of detergent
recommended in the Tables below.

Dishwasher Features & Options
Wash Cycles *
* The cycles listed below vary by models.
Power Scrub
Cleans items having baked-on or hard dried food soils.
These items may require soaking or hand scouring.
Auto Wash
Takes the guesswork out of cycle selection. For use with
a mixed load of dishware with varying amounts of food
soil. The sensors in the dishwasher automatically adjust
the cycle length, temperature and water changes based
on the soil load. This cycle contains additional sensor
decisions when compared to other cycles.
Regular Wash
Thoroughly cleans normal loads having loosely attached
normal soiling.
Delicate
For delicate or heirloom dishware and silverware or
other special items. Always make sure that the items are
dishwasher safe. Refer to the Dishware Materials section
of this manual for further information. Hand washing may
be the best treatment for such items.
Quick Wash
Cleans lightly soiled dishes and reduces overall wash time.
Use this cycle to clean glasses and dessert dishes that may
need to be re-used at the same event.
Rinse & Hold
Allows you to rinse the food soil o of a partial load and
hold them in the dishwasher until there is a full load.
Eco Wash
This cycle is optimized to be even more energy ecient.
Eg. On lightly soiled loads it uses much less water and
energy than traditional cycles
Wash Cycle Options
* The options listed below vary by models.
Extra Dry Heat
With this option you can raise the temperature of the rinse
water and increase the drying time for improved drying.
Delay Start
This option allows you to delay the start time of your
dishwasher.
Half Load
In the Power Scrub / Power Scrub Plus, Regular, Delicate
and Auto Wash cycles you can reduce the energy and water
consumption when washing small, lightly soiled loads
that ll approximately half the dishwasher’s capacity.
Top Rack Only
This option allows you to save energy and water by
washing loads small enough to ll the top rack only.
For more information on how to active these options, see
"Operating the Dishwasher" section.

Sanitized Indicator
When the “Sanitized” light appears on the control panel,
it means that the dishware and kitchenware that were
just washed have been sanitized according to the
requirements of the National Sanitation Foundation
(NSF). For more information on NSF certication, go to
the Wash Cycle Information section of this manual.
NOTE: If your household water supply is very hot, your
dishwasher’s heating time may be reduced and the
“Sanitized” light or symbol may not illuminate.
Rell Rinse Agent Indicator
An indicator light will illuminate to alert you when more
rinse agent is required.

Wash Cycle Information
NOTE: To save energy, this dishwasher has a “Smart
Control” that automatically adjusts the cycle based on
soil loads and incoming water temperature. The “Smart
Control” makes decisions that can cause the cycle time
and water usage to adjust intermittently. Make sure that
the incoming hot water supply line is connected to the
water inlet connection on the dishwasher and has a water
pressure of 15-145 PSI (1-10 bar). Wash program cycle
times are based on 120F.
See the Cycles and Options Charts to determine the cycles
available for your specic model.
NOTE: On select models, the Half Load feature will reduce
the water consumption by approximately 30 percent in the
Power Scrub, Regular, Delicate and Auto Wash cycles.

explained in the document NSF/ANSI 184, Residential
Dishwashers. More information on NSF Certication is
available at the NSF website,
