Your 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. You may
also hear the splashing water as it enters the tub
and the spray arms as they rotate and circulate
water. The wash motor often pulsates throughout
the cycle, which varies water pressure and
optimizes performance.

WASH CYCLE SELECTIONS
Cycle times are approximate and vary by options
selected. Hot water is necessary to activate
dishwasher detergent and melt fatty food soils.
An automatic sensor checks the water temperature
for the main wash of each cycle. Run hot water
faucet nearest dishwasher until water is hot.
CYCLE SELECTIONS
The Smart Sensor checks the soil level on your
dishes in the Auto, Normal and Eco cycles.
Depending on soil level, the sensor will determine if
additional water fills are needed to clean the dishes
or if water fills can be deleted. Cycle time and
water usage will vary based on the amount of soil
on the dishes. Cycle time will also vary based on
the options selected and the incoming water
temperature.

Preparing & Loading Dishes
i i
D SH PREPA TmON
Scrape away large pieces of food, bone, pits,
toothpicks, etc. The wash system will remove
remaining food particles. Gently scrape away
burned-on food with a non-scratch utensil or let
dish soak before washing (see Figure 1). Empty
liquids from glasses and cups.
Foods containing vegetable oil and/or chemical
additives such as mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar,
lemon juice or 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
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 disposal,
be sure disposal is completely empty
before starting dishwasher.
Load glasses in top rack. Damage may occur
if placed in bottom rack unless Stemware
Cycle is selected.
Damage may occur if delicate items touch
each other during dishwasher operation.
Long-handled knives and utensils can be
placed in the top rack's versa tray.
Be sure nothing protrudes through the bottom
of the rack to block rotation of middle spray
arm.
• Load items with open ends facing down for
better cleaning and draining.

•Large items should be placed along the
edge so they do not block the middle
spray arm rotation.
•For best results, place bowls.
casseroles.and sauce pans with
soiled surface facing down or
toward the center. Tilt slightly for better
drainage.
•Make sure tall items do not block middle
spray arm rotation.
•Be sure pan handles do not
protrude through the bottom of the rack
and block the lower spray arm rotation.
Fold-down Tines
The fold-down tines in the lower rack make easy
loading for those extra large and hard-to-fit items.
The tines may be left up for normal use or folded
down for more flexible loading.
Fold tines down for ease in loading large pots or
pans.
ADJUSTING HEIGHT
The top rack height can be easily adjusted to
accommodate loading taller dishes in either rack.

RLLING THE DETERGENT
D SPENSER USE
The detergent dispenser has one main wash and
one pre-wash cup. The covered cups open
automatically to release detergent.
Use only automatic dishwashing detergent.
Other detergents will cause oversudsing.
When using automatic dishwashing
detergent tabs, place one tab in main wash
cups and close.
Add detergent just before starting cycle.
Store detergent in a cool, dry location.
Moist or caked detergent will not dissolve
properly.
The amount of detergent to use depends on the
water hardness. Water hardness is measured in
grains pergallon (gpg). "Hard water" contains large
amounts, 9-12 grains per gallon (GPG), of minerals.
Harder water will require more detergent and may
also result in deposits on dishware and unit internal
surfaces.
Using too little detergent can result in poor cleaning
and hard water filming or spotting. Using too much
detergent in soft water can cause a permanent film
called "etching." (See Etching, page 19.)
Your local water company, water softener company
or county extension agent can tell you the water
hardness in your area.

RINSE AmD
Rinse aid greatly improves drying and reduces
waterspots and filming. It causes the water to
"sheet" off of dishes rather than form water
droplets that cling and leave spots.
The rinse aid dispenser, located next to the
detergent cup, automatically releases a measured
amount of rinse aid during the last rinse. Ifspotting
and poor drying are problems, increase the amount
of rinse aid dispensed by rotating the dial to a
higher number. The dial is located under the
dispenser cap.
If the rinse aid is low, LOW RINSE displays at the
beginning and end of the cycle, indicating tha it is
time to refill.
To add liquid rinse aid:
1 Turn dispenser cap 1/4 turn counterclockwise
and lift out.
2
Pour in rinse aid until liquid reaches the flat
surface marked MAX in the Rinse Aid
dispenser. Do not overfill since this can
cause oversudsing.
3 Replace cap.
4
Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth.
The dispenser holds enough for 35 to 140 washes,
depending on setting.

Factors Affecting Performance
WATER PRESSURE
Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and
drying results. Water entering the dishwasher
should be at least 120°F (49°C) to give satisfactory
results.
To check water temperature entering the
dishwasher:
1 Turn on hot water faucet nearest dishwasher
for several minutes to clear cool water from
pipes.
2 Hold a candy or meat thermometer in stream
of water to check the temperature.
3 If temperature is below 120°F (49°C), have a
qualified person raise the water heater
thermostat setting.
The hot water line to the dishwasher must provide
water pressure between 20 and 90 pounds per
square inch (psi).
Low water pressure may occur when laundry or
showers are in operation. Wait until water use is
reduced before starting dishwasher.

Care of Drain Air Gap
Care & Cleaning
If a drain air gap was installed for your built-in
dishwasher, check to make sure it is clean so the
dishwasher will drain properly. A drain air gap is
usually mounted on the sink at the countertop and
can be inspected by removing the cover. This is not
part of your dishwasher and is not covered by
warranty.
Freezing temperatures may cause water
lines to rupture, Be sure all supply lines
to and circulating lines within dishwasher
result in property damage.
A dishwasher left in an unheated place should be
protected from freezing. Have a qualified Derson do
the following:
To Disconnect Service:
Turn off electrical power to the dishwasher at
the supply source by removing fuses or
tripping circuit breaker.
2
Shut off water supply.
3
Place a Danunder the inlet valve. Disconnect
water line from inlet valve and drain into pan.
4 Disconnect drain line and drain water into
pan.
To Restore Service:
1 Reconnect the water, drain, and electrical
power supply.
2 Turn on water and electrical Dower supply.
3 Fi both detergent cups and run dishwasher
through a COOKWARE cycle.
See Installation Instructions for more details.
