HOW TO OPERATE YOUR DISHWASHER
NOTE: If dishwasher drains into a food
waste disposal, operate the disposal until
it is empty before starting dishwasher.

Step
1. Load your dishwasher.
(See Loading section.)
step 2.
Make sure the Cycle Indicator Dial is at
the OFF position. Add detergent to the detergent
dispenser. (See Detergent Guide.) Use a rinse aid
agent to help prevent spotting. (See How to Use a
Rinse Agent section.)

Everyday dishes may be included. This cycle will
get heavily soiled dishes cleaner than the normal
cycle. It will not remove burned-on foods.

dishes, glasses and cookware with medium soils.

● HEATED DRY OFF—Shuts off the heating unit,
thus saving energy. Dishes air-dry naturally. It takes
longer but saves energy. You can open the door after
the motor stops to speed drying. Excellent for
overnight drying.
Step
● Turning the dial to START will begin the cycle
immediately. To obtain the benefits of a complete
cycle, be careful that you do not turn the dial any
farther than is necessary to start the dishwasher.
There is a time delay between start-up and water
fill so you will not hear any wash action right away.
Dial Cycles
The SHORT WASH cycle allows you to quickly
wash loads of everyday dishes with medium soils
that have not dried on, such as loads consisting mostly
of glasses.
a. Select The NORMAL WASH cycle and any
Energy Option if desired.
