DELAY START

The dishwasher detects how soiled the dishes are and adjusts water consumption and temperature accordingly.

The HEAVY WASH program should be used for heavily soiled dishes, e.g. saucepans, pots and gratin dishes. If there is still space in the machine after

loading such items, you can add plates etc.

Used for washing normally soiled dishes such as plates, serving dishes, cups and

glasses, etc.

If the dishes are not heavily soiled, you can select the Light Wash cycle. This

cycle is intended for glass and china which has just been used and therefore does not need a more powerful cycle.

Select SPEED WASH if the dishes are very lightly soiled. This program is used for very lightly soiled glass and china, e.g. coffee cups.

For rinsing partial loads that will be washed later. Do not use detergent with this

cycle.

When selected, the cycle will run with a heating element on longer and may

increase cycle time to improve both wash and ;dry performance.

If you want the machine to start later, press the DELAYSTART option button. The

clock symbol on the button lights up. Then press the START/RESET button and the machine will start the program 5 hours later. To cancel DELAY START, hold

down the START/RESET button for three seconds.

When selected, the temperature of the last rinse cycle is increased to improve

dry performance. This may increase cycle time.

latched.

This dishwasher can beplumbed to either a hot or cold water line.

Hot water line connection: For effective cleaning and to prevent dish damage, the entering water supply should be at least 120°F (49°C)and not

more than 140°F(60°C).Youcan check the water temperature with a candy or meat thermometer.

Turn on the hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher, place the thermometer in a glass and

let the water run continuously into the glass until the temperature ceases to rise.

Do not attempt to replace the bulbs. If light bulb replacement is necessary, please contact the

GEAnswer Center for service by calling

Cold water line connection: The dishwasher's water heater will bring the water temperature to

the appropriate levelfor cleaning.

Use a Rinse

Agent

A rinse agent improves dry performance,

reduces spots and prevents new film buildup on your dishes, glasses, flatware, cookware and plastic. Cascade Crystal Clear® isthe

recommended rinse agent for Monogram

Dishwashers. The rinse agent dispenser holds/4.7 oz. of rinse

agent. Under normal conditions, this will last approximately one month. Try to keep it full,

but do not overfill. To fill the rinse agent dispenser, make sure the

dishwasher door isfully open.

Rotate the dispenser cap counterclockwise and lift it out. Add rinse agent until the indicator

window shows full. Clean up any spilled rinse agent with a damp

cloth. Replace the dispenser cap. The amount of rinse agent released into the final

wash can be adjusted. The factory setting is at the midpoint. If there are rings of calcium (hard water) spots on dishes, try a higher setting. If there is foaming, use a lower setting.

To adjust the setting, remove the dispenser cap; then turn the adjuster counterclockwise to

increase the amount of rinse agent or clockwise

to decrease the amount of rinse agent dispensed.

NOTE: Using a detergent that is not specifically designed for dishwashers will cause the dish-

washer to fill with suds. During operation, these suds will spill out of the dishwasher vents, covering

the kitchen floor and making the floor wet. Hand and Clothes washing detergent cannot be used as

the build-up of foam may damage or impede the machine's performance.

Because so many detergent containers look alike,

store the dishwasher detergent in a separate space from all other cleaners. Show anyone who

may use the dishwasher the correct detergent and where it is stored.
