IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING

Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two or more weeks.

HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.

If the hot water has not been used for two or more weeks, prevent the possibility of damage or injury by turning on all hot water faucets and allowing them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any electrical appliance connected to the hot water system. This simple procedure will allow any built-up hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke, use an open flame, or use the appliance during this process.

WARNING

PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE DISHWASHER

Junked or abandoned dishwashers are dangerous…even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting rid of your dishwasher, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.

On other models, pressing the Select Cycle pad will show various cycles in the display window. Press the pad until the desired cycle is shown.

NOTE: Actual cycle times vary based on soil level, water temperature, and options selected. The cycle may be selected with the door in the open position. The cycle will not start until the Start pad is

This cycle is for light to medium soiled dishes. It is safe for china and crystal with no options selected. *Time: 55 minutes.

For rinsing partial loads that will be washed later. Do not use detergent. Detergent is not dispensed during the rinse cycle. *Time: 16 minutes.

This cycle was designed to wash loosely soiled dishes in 1 hour. Heated dry will add 65-105 minutes. For better drying, select Heated Dry/Dry or Ultra Dry. This will raise the final rinse temperature and extend the dry time. When the Clean light comes on, open the door, pull the racks out, and the dishes will “flash” dry in approximately five minutes.

This cycle will efficiently wash dishes using about 2 gallons of water and .8 KWhr. Selecting Ultra Dry with this cycle adds an energy efficient 50 to 90 minute dry period. Drying is accomplished with an efficient 2 watt fan. *Time: 1 hour 3 minutes.

This option is for normally soiled dishes, optimizes wash performance while conserving energy.

This option increases the temperature to help clean heavily soiled dishes and will increase the cycle time by 20 to 50 minutes. Option may be turned On or Off during the wash cycle. This option will also improve dry performance on the Normal cycle.

This option raises the water temperature in the final rinse to sanitize your dishware but may increase cycle time by 60 minutes. The cycle length will vary depending on the temperature of your inlet water. NOTE: This option is monitored for sanitization requirements. If the cycle is interrupted during or after the main wash portion or if the incoming water temperature is so low that adequate water heating cannot be achieved, the sanitizing conditions may not be met. In these cases, the Sanitized or Cycle Sanitized light will not illuminate at the end of the cycle. Utilizing this option will modify the cycle to meet the requirements of Section 6, of the NSF 184 Standard for soil removal and sanitization efficacy.

NOTE: Certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments. Off - Shuts off the drying option. Dishes air dry naturally and energy is saved. Open the

Selecting either the Upper or Lower Wash Zones will target dishwashing of just one rack. This will shorten the cycle time and conserve energy. This option should be used when dishes are placed in only one rack.

This option increases the time that the bottle jets are on and may add up to 23 minutes to the cycle time. Use this to wash difficult to clean, dishwasher safe baby bottles, sport bottles, tall coffee cups, etc. See use recommendations in the Loading section.

Delays the start of a wash cycle up to 8 to 12 hours depending on model. Press Delay Hours/ Delay, to select the number of hours, then press Start one time and close door to begin countdown. The cycle will start once allotted time has expired.
