Water softening system
Your dishwasher requires soft water to ensure proper washing results and
is equipped with an internal water softening system. However, if you have
a household water softening system, you will not need to use the internal
system provided.
The amount of salt required depends on the degree of hardness of your tap
water (see table at right for more information).
For the water softening system to function properly, it will need to use
dishwasher water softener salt.The amount of salt dispensed can be set from
"H:O0" to "H:07". Salt is not required at H:O0 (this is the default factory
setting - see table at right).
• Open the door (for hidden controls only).
• Turn the unit on using the [ON/OFF] button.
• Hold down the "A" button (see page 4) and press [START] until the
display indicates "H:O0".
• Release both buttons.
• Press the "C" button to select the desired setting.
• Save the selected setting by pressing [START].
• Close the door (for hidden controls only).

the unit to ensure that salt overflow is immediately washed away.This prevents
corrosion.

the first time).
• Add salt (dishwasher salt) until the water is displaced and runs out.
• Refill with salt as soon as the salt refill indicator"_"or"Salt" LED is lit.
WARNING: Never fill the salt dispenser with detergent. It will destroy the
water softening system. To prevent corrosion, refill with salt and immediately
begin any cycle.

NOTICE: To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use hand dishwashing products
in your dishwasher.
Your dishwasher uses less water, therefore you need to use less detergent.
With soft water, 1 tablespoon (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 fill the detergent dispenser cup.
NOTE:Ifyou do not know the hardness of your water supply, use 15ml of detergent.
Increase the amount of detergent, if necessary, to the least amount required to get
your dishware and kitchenware clean.
To Close:
Place finger as shown in figure at right, slide forward, then press down firmly
until you hear it click into place.
To Open:
Push button as shown in the figure at far right and cover slides o

• To lower the rack, push the lever inward then upward.
• To raise the rack, hold the basket on the sides of the upper edge and lift it
up.
Before reinserting the rack, ensure that it is at the same height on both sides.
Otherwise, the appliance door cannot be closed and the upper spray arm will
not be connected to the water circuit.

Power Scrub Plus
Cleans items with baked-on or hard dried-on food soils.These items would normally require soaking or hand scouring.
Auto Wash
Takes the guesswork out of cycle selection.The sensors in the dishwasher automatically adjust cycle length, temperature
and water changes based on the soil load.This cycle is appropriate for mixed loads.
Delicate Wash
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 of such items.
Regular Wash
Thoroughly cleans large loads having loosely attached normal soiling.
QuickWash
For lightly soiled items with easy to remove food soils. Reduces overall wash time.
Glass Care (model dependent) _L
A cycle for lightly soiled dishes which is ideal for temperature sensitive items or cutlery. In this cycle the temperature is
reduced to help prevent dishes from becoming damaged. It is especially helpful to reduce a cloudy or etched appearance
on glasses.
NOTE:Some glasses are more prone to etching due to the glass manufacturing process.
The cycle times listed in this Use and Care Manual are based on normal soil loads and 120°F incoming water and will vary
based on your actual conditions.
