NOTE



Why Energy Effi cient 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. As a
result, you will see that the wash cycles take
longer.

NOTE



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 W ash S ystem® dishwasher
uses energy effi cient motors for the wash and
drain portions of the cycle you select. Each
cycle has a series of water fi lls 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 spr aying a mixture of hot w ater and detergent through the spray arms
against soiled surfaces. First, the dishwasher fi lls with water covering the fi lter area. Water is
then pumped through the spray arms. Soil particles go through and across the fi lter and down the
drain as the water is pumped out. This series of steps are repeated as needed. The number of
water fi lls vary with the cycle being used.

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 STAR T/PAUSE
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
fi nal rinse of all cycles. This happens even
when HI- TEMP WASH option has not been
selected. When HI- TEMP WASH is selected,
an even higher temperature will be reached to
handle heavier soil loads.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Option Selections
Hi-Temp Wash Option

When HI- TEMP WASH option is selected, the
dishwasher heats water in the main wash to
approximately 140

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 HEAVY and NORMAL CLEAN only. HI-TEMP
WASH is automatically provided when the
HEAVY CLEAN cycle is selected.

When HI- TEMP WASH option is selected, the
light above the pad will come on and remain

F (60oC).

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 fi nal rinse will be raised to 155oF (68oC).
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.

action will continue during the water heating
delay. For best results, the incoming water
temperature should be at least 120oF (49oC).

The sanitize criteria may not be satisfi ed if there
is an interruption of the cycle, power failure or if
the incoming water temperature is below 120oF
(49oC).

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