which wash cycle has been selected.
NOTE: Cycle times vary based on soil level, water temperature, and options selected.
The cycle must be selected with the door in the open position. The cycle will not start until the Start pad is pushed and
the door is closed within 4 seconds.
Smart This cycle automatically senses the soil level and adjusts the wash cycle accordingly. It is meant for daily,
regular, or typical use to completely wash a full load of normally soiled dishes and is designed to conserve
both water and energy. *Time range: 1 hour 50 minutes - 2 hours 10 minutes.
Heavy This cycle is meant for heavily soiled dishes, cookware, pots, or pans with dried-on or baked-on soils.
Everyday dishes are safe to be used in this cycle. *Time: 2 hours 31 minutes.
Medium This cycle is meant for daily, regular, or typical use to completely wash a full load of normally soiled dishes
and is designed to conserve both water and energy. *Time range: 1 hour 15 minutes - 1 hour 50 minutes.
NOTE: Medium was used to rate the energy efficiency of this dishwasher.
Light This cycle is for lightly soiled dishes. It is safe for china and crystal with no options selected. *Time: 55 minutes.
Quick This cycle will quickly wash lightly soiled dishes. *Time: 60 minutes. For better drying, select Dry. This
will raise the final rinse temperature and extend the dry time. Dry will add 49 to 90 minutes to the cycle
time. When the Clean light comes on, open the door, pull the racks out, and the dishes will “flash” dry in
approximately five minutes.

USING THE DISHWASHER
SELECT OPTIONS
The light by the selected pad will be lit to indicate which Option has been selected.
Light Press to turn the tub light on or off.
Delay Delays the start of a wash cycle up to 8 to 12 hours depending on model. Press 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.
Sanitize 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
light will not illuminate at the end of the cycle. Utilizing this option will modify the cycle to meet the
requirements of Section 6, NSF 184 for soil removal and sanitization efficacy.
NOTE: NSF certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments.
Zones Selecting either the Top or Bottom 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.
Temp 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 Medium cycle.
Dry Off Shuts off the drying option. Dishes air dry naturally and energy is saved. Open the dishwasher door to
speed drying.
Dry Normal Turns on the option for faster drying. This option may add up to 64 minutes to the cycle time. On
models with the hidden heater feature, this option boosts the temperature of the dishwasher during
the final rinse portion of the cycle then utilizes a fan to circulate air to dry the dishes. This very efficient
fan may run for an additional 90 minutes after the cycle is complete to maximize drying performance.
Fan operation will end if the door is opened during this 90 minute period.
Dry Extra This option can be selected by pressing the Dry pad twice to illuminate the Extra light. It will add
additional time to your drying option, further enhancing the dishwasher’s performance for difficult to
dry items.

USING THE DISHWASHER
CHECK THE WATER TEMPERATURE
The entering water should be at least 120°F (49°C) and not
more than 150°F (66°C) for effective cleaning and to prevent
dish damage. Check the water temperature with a candy or
meat thermometer.
USE A RINSE AGENT
Rinse agents, such as Finish® Jet-Dry® Rinse Aid are designed for great drying action and to protect against spots and film
build-up on your dishes, glasses, flatware, cookware, and plastic.
Filling the Rinse Agent Dispenser
The rinse agent dispenser holds 3.5 oz. (104 ml) of rinse agent. Under normal conditions, this will last approximately one
month.
Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.

DETERGENT DISPENSER
The detergent dispenser is located in the center of the
dishwasher door. It has two compartments. The main wash
compartment is found inside the detergent dispenser. To open,
press the button on the side of the dispenser. The pre-wash
compartment is on the lid of the detergent dispenser. Use the
pre-wash compartment only when your water is extremely
hard or when you have a heavy soiled load. The pre-wash
compartment is not used when tablet or packet detergents are
used.
NOTE: Do not load large items in the lower rack where they may
block the wash jets from rinsing out the detergent dispenser.
Detergent
Dispenser
You may use tablet, packet, powder, liquid or gel automatic
dishwasher detergent. Make sure you use only detergents
specifically labeled for use in automatic dishwashers. Never use
liquid hand dish detergent in an automatic dishwasher. Sudsing
and poor wash performance will result with the use of improper
detergents.
Detergents should be stored in a dry location and in their
original container to prevent loss of effectiveness. Place
detergent in the cup just prior to starting the dishwasher and
then close the cover. The cover will open during the wash
cycle.
FILLING THE DETERGENT
DISPENSER
We recommend using detergent in tablet or packet form.
Independent testing has shown this form of detergent is very
effective in the dishwasher. Finish® Quantum® Powerball®
is an example of this type of detergent. Simply put a tablet
or packet into the main wash compartment and close the
detergent cup cover. Please notice that the tablet or packet
must be placed in the main wash compartment of the
detergent cup. If the tablet or packet is placed in the prewash
compartment or tossed in the bottom of the dishwasher,
the detergent will be flushed down the drain in a very short
period of time and will thus be wasted. Wash performance will
be very poor as a result.
If you choose to use detergent in powder, liquid or gel form,
the amount of detergent you use will be determined by the
hardness of your water, the temperature of your water, and
the food soil load inside the dishwasher. Contact your water
company to get information about the hardness of the water
in your area. Water hardness is measured in grains per gallon.
Use this information and the table above to determine the
amount of detergent to use.

Use the table as a starting point and then adjust the amount
of detergent you use. Use just enough to get good wash
performance. Using just the right amount of detergent will
provide great wash performance without wasting detergent

Using too much detergent with very soft and/or very
hot water may cause a condition called etching on your
glassware. Etching is a permanent cloudiness in your
glassware. This condition is irreversible. However, using too
little detergent will cause poor wash performance.
Detergent Cup(s) to Fill
Fill cup completely full
Fill both main wash cup and pre
wash cup
Rinse Agent
DO NOT USE HAND DISH DETERGENT
NOTE: Using a detergent that is not specifically designed for
dishwashers will cause the dishwasher to fill with suds. During
operation, these suds will spill out of the dishwasher vents,
covering the kitchen floor and making the floor wet.
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.
While there will be no lasting damage to the dishwasher, your
dishes will not get clean using a dishwashing detergent that is
not formulated for automatic dishwashers.

USING THE DISHWASHER
For best dishwashing results, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of racks and silverware baskets
may vary from your model.
UPPER RACK
The upper rack is primarily for glasses, cups, and saucers. For
best wash performance, tilt cup and glass openings toward
the center of the rack. Other items such as pots, pans, and
plates may be placed in the upper rack. This is also a secure
place for dishwasher-safe plastic items. The upper rack can
be used for odd sized utensils. Sauce pans, mixing bowls,
and other similarly shaped items should be placed face down
for best wash performance. Ensure small plastic items are
secure so that they cannot fall on the heater at the bottom of
the dishwasher, potentially damaging the item. Some models
are equipped with a hidden heater, so dishwasher safe plastic
items can be placed in the lower rack.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that
items do not protrude
through the bottom of the
rack or silverware basket
where they will block the
rotation of the middle spray
arm. This could result in
noise during operation and/
or poor wash performance.
BOTTLE JETS
The Bottle Jets system is the ideal location to position
baby bottles, tall sports bottles, or other tall items with
narrow openings. The Bottle Jets clips hold bottles with
small openings in place so water jets are directed inside the
bottles to clean hard to reach areas. Clips can be installed or
removed by simply
slipping the clip
opening over the
top of the nozzle.

CAUTION
injury or damage to the contents, do not raise or lower the
upper rack after the rack is loaded.
The upper rack may be adjusted to accommodate larger
items. To adjust the upper rack, fully extend the upper rack
and lift the front of the rack so that the rack roller wheels
clear the end hooks on the front of the rails. Continue to pull
the rack until the remaining rack roller wheels clear the end
hook. Select the set of rollers on the side of the rack that
provides the desired height, and reinstall the upper rack by
aligning the rack roller wheels on the end hook and rack rails –
Ensure that there are roller wheels above and below the rack
rails. Failure to properly align the wheels onto the end hook
and rails may result in the rack falling from the dishwasher.
To add flexibility in loading, the stem safe shelf may be placed
in the up or down position or unfolded and placed in the lower
unfolded position.
The shelf may also be used to secure stemware such as wine
glasses. Because these stemware items come in various
sizes, slowly push the rack in to ensure the items do not
bump into the edges of the dishwasher, which may cause
damage to the items.

CARE AND CLEANING
FILTER ASSEMBLY
Inspect and clean the filters periodically. This should be
done every month or more depending on usage. If there is
a decrease in wash performance or dishes feel gritty, this is
also an indication the filters need to be cleaned.
ULTRA-FINE FILTER
To clean the Ultra-Fine Filter, remove the bottom rack. Twist
the Ultra-Fine Filter counterclockwise and lift to remove.
Rinse filter with warm soapy water and use a sponge to
carefully remove any stubborn particles. Scrubbing with
scouring pads or brushes can dama ge the filter. Once
cleaned, replace the Ultra-Fine Filter, and twist it clockwise to
lock in place.
FINE FILTER
To clean the Fine Filter (mesh plate), remove the bottom rack.
Remove the Ultra-Fine Filter.
Lift the Fine Filter up and out from under the two rear
retaining tabs. Rinse filter with warm soapy water. Scouring
pads or brushes can scratch the filter surface but a soft
brush or sponge may be needed to remove stubborn soils
or calcium deposits caused by hard water. Once cleaned,
replace the Fine Filter making sure it goes under the two rear
retaining tabs. Replace the Ultra-Fine Filter.

DOES YOUR DISHWASHER HAVE AN
AIR GAP?
An air gap protects your dishwasher against water backing
up into it if a drain clogs. The air gap is not a part of the
dishwasher. It is not covered by your warranty. Not all plumbing
codes require air gaps, so you may not have one.

Check the air gap any time your dishwasher isn’ t d raining well.
The air gap is easy to clean:
