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 BEADVISED: If you compare this dishwasher to previous models, you may be surprised at what you DON'T hear!

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 isthen pumped through the filter and spray arms. Soil particles go down the drain as the water is pumped out and replaced with clean water. The number of water fills will 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 OPTIONS (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/CANCEL pad.

*Not all cycles and options available on all models.

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 timer will be delayed for automatic water heating in the main wash 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 guaranteed to handle heavier soil loads.

Appearance may vary from your model.

Options Selections (*available on

select models)

* Hi-Temp Wash

When HI-TEMP WASH option isselected, the dishwasher heats water in the main wash to approximately 140°F (60°C).

This increase in water temperature helps 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 RINSEONLY. HI- TEMP WASH is automatically provided when HEAVYWASH 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

The HEAT DRY option in combination with rinse aid will enhance drying performance. The energy required to use the HEAT DRYoption costs pennies per cycle. You may choose not to select the HEAT DRYoption; however you will have items in your dish load that will not be completely dry at the end of the cycle.

Opening the door longer than one minute during the dry cycle cancels the selected dry program.

* Delay Start

The DELAY STARToption allows you to automatically delay starting your dishwasher from 1-10, 1-24 or 2-4-6 hours depending on your model.

On models with 1-10 or 1-24 hour delay, press the DELAY START pad until the desired delay time shows in the STATUS window. A light will come on indicating the delay start hours and will remain on until cycle starts.

On models with 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.

To cancel the DELAYSTART 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 RINSE ONLY pad (some models) orthe NO HEAT DRY pad (some models) for 8 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

RINSE ONLY pad or NO HEAT DRY pad until the indicator light goes out.
