NOTE

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. 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 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 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 spraying a mixture of hot water and detergent through the spray arms against soiled surfaces. First, the dishwasher fills with water covering the filter area. Water is then pumped through the spray arms. Soil particles go through and across the filter and down the drain as the water is pumped out. This series of steps are repeated as needed. The number of water fills vary with the cycle being used.

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 door to latch.

5.Select desired CYCLE (See Cycle

Chart). The indicator light above the pad will glow when selected.

6.Select desired OPTION (See Energy Options). The indicator light above the pad will glow when selected.

7.Run hot water faucet nearest

dishwasher until water is hot. Turn water off. 8. To start, press START/PAUSE pad.

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/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 final 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 140oF (60oC).

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 on until end of cycle. To turn 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 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. Washing 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 satisfied 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.

NOTE

If the dishwasher door is opened while the unit is running, the START/PAUSE pad must be pressed and the door shut immediately to return the unit to the selected cycle and option, this must happen within 10 minutes for the unit to continue the cycle.

Delay Start

The DELAY START option allows you to automatically delay starting your dishwasher for either 2-4-6 hours.

To activate delay start option for 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 delay start hours and will remain on until cycle starts.

Press the START/PAUSE pad to start the delay option. If the delay option is interrupted, the START/PAUSE pad will have to be pressed again to return to delay option.

To cancel the DELAY START option and begin the cycle before the delay period is over, press 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.

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 the CANCEL pad and dishwasher will start a 90 seconds drain. At the end of the drain, select the next desired cycle.
