Why Energy Efficient Units run long
cycles: Several factors are important to
washing dishware. The energy use of your
dishwasher was reduced by applying more
of the factors that don't use so much energy
and less of the ones that use more. Asa
result, you will see that the wash cycles take
longer.
Very Important Information
- Read Before Operating Your
Dishwasher!
Normal Operating Sounds
_his 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
ilotor.
• he next sound you will hear is the splashing
/rater as it enters the tub. Then the lower arm
"otates and circulates water. This is followed
_y a pause and a slightly different sound as the
Jpper arms spray water. If you listen closely,
'ou 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 DONq hear,

Appearance may vary from your model.
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. This happens even
when H:[-TEMPWASH option has not been
selected. When H]:-TEMP WASH is selected,
an even higher temperature will be reached to
handle heavier soil loads.
Option Selections
Hi=Ternp Wash Option
When 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 the
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 RINSE ONLY. HI-TEMP WASH
is automatically provided when the HEAVY
WASH cycle is selected.
When HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, the
light above the pad will come on and remain
on until end of cycle. Toturn off the HI-TEMP
WASH option, press the pad a second time.
The light above the pad will turn off.
Heat Dry/Air Dry
Use of the Heated Dry option, especially in
combination with use of a rinse agent, will
enhance drying. If Air Dry is selected the
heater will be de-activated during the drying
phase of the selected wash cycle. This will
slightly lower the energy use but will increase
the likelihood that the dishware will not dry
completely.
Sanitize Option
To sanitize your dishes and glassware, select
SANITIZE option. When selected, the light
above the pad will come on and remain on until
the end of the cycle. The water temperature
in the final rinse will be raised to 155°F (68°C).
This option is available in Heavy and Normal
Cycles. Only these sanitization cycles have
been designed to meet NSF requirements.
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 sanitize 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.
Delay Start
The DELAYSTART option allows you to
automatically delay starting your dishwasher
from 2-4-6 hours.
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 delay start hours
and will remain on until cycle starts.
To cancel the DELAY START option and begin
the cycle before the delay period is over, press
the START/CANCEL pad.
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 AIR 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 AIR DRY,until the indicator light
goes out.
Status Indicator Lights
The WASHING light comes on at the beginning
of the cycle and remains on until the end of
the main wash.
Whether heated or unheated dry is selected
the DRYING light will come on during the
drying portion of the cycle.
When the SANITIZE option is selected, the
SANITIZED light will glow when the SANITIZE
cycle is finished. If the dishwasher did not
properly sanitize the dishes, the light will not
come on. This can happen if the cycle is
interrupted. The light will remain on until the
door is opened.
The CLEAN light will come on at the end of
cycle and remain on until the door is opened.
To Cancel a Cycle
You can cancel a cycle anytime during the cycle.
Press START/CANCEL pad and the dishwasher
will start a 90 second drain. At the end of the
drain, select the next desired cycle.

The Normal cycle with its factory default options of normal temperature and heated dry

everyday use and is suitable for a large range of both load sizes and food quantities remaining
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. Before loading them in the
dishwasher 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 pro-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,

Hew 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.

and operation of your dishwasher.

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.
