•Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using, turn on all hot water faucets and let water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas is flammable. Do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
•Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline, or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
•Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in a dishwasher and keep them out of the reach of children.
•Keep young children and infants away from the dishwasher when it is operating.
•Do not use the dishwasher if it has a damaged power line or plug, and do not plug the dishwasher into a damaged outlet. Failure to observe these instructions may result in electrical shock.

Understanding your dishwasher’s features
How your dishwasher cleans
The dishwasher fills with water, covering the filter area at the bottom. Water is then pumped through the various filter and spray arms, spraying a mixture of hot water and detergent against the soiled surfaces of your dishes and silverware. Soil particles are separated and go down the drain as the dirty water is drained and replaced with clean water. The number of water fills is determined by the cycle selected.
www.insigniaproducts.com |

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 checks the incoming water temperature and, if it is not hot enough, the timer will be delayed to allow for the water to heat for the main wash of all cycles. This happens even when Hi-Temp Wash is selected, so that higher temperature will be available to handle heavier soil loads.
Filter system
Your dishwasher has a multiple filter system which includes four separate filter meshes. It separates dirty water and clean water into different chambers. The multiple filter system helps your dishwasher to get better performance with less water and less energy.
Smart wash system
Your dishwasher has a smart wash system under the normal wash and auto wash programs which selects the wash cycle based on how large and how soiled the load, permitting your dishwasher to clean more efficiently every time. When a partial load of lightly soiled dishes is placed in the unit, a short wash cycle is automatically selected. When a full load of heavily soiled dishes is placed in the unit, a heavy wash cycle is automatically selected.
Adjustable upper rack
The upper rack of your dishwasher can be raised or lowered to accommodate loading dishes of varying heights in either rack. After removing the 3rd rack, the upper rack clearance height can be adjusted from 8" to 10" (20 to 25 cm). The lower rack clearance height can be adjusted from 11" to 13" (28 to 33 cm). See Adjusting the upper rack on page 16.

Controls and indicators
•10 - Delay—Press repeatedly to delay the start of the selected wash cycle until the delay time you want is shown on the display. You can select 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 16, 20, or 24 hours delay. After you select the delay time you want, press START/Cancel once, then close the door within four seconds. The delay begins to count down.
Important: If you open the door while delay is running, press START/Cancel, then close the door within four seconds to begin the cycle from that point, otherwise the dishwasher will stop the delay and will beep as a reminder to resume the delay.
To cancel the delay and begin the cycle before the delay period is complete, open the door, then press and hold Delay for three seconds and then press START/Cancel.
•11 - Display—When you open the door, shows the remaining hours and minutes of the current cycle, delay hours remaining, and error codes (see Error codes on page 28).
Note: If the remaining time on the display suddenly increases or decreases by several minutes, it means that the Smart Sensor has checked the soil level or the water needs to be heated to reach the required temperature.
•12 - START/Cancel—Press to start the dishwasher after you have selected a cycle and option. Close the door. The cycle indicator begins to blink and the option indicator turns on. If you don’t close the door within four seconds of pressing START/Cancel, the dishwasher pauses. Press START/Cancel again to continue with the cycle.
To cancel a running cycle, open the door, press and hold START/Cancel for three seconds, then close the door. After you close the door, the dishwasher will show a one minute countdown and then begin draining. The dishwasher then returns to standby status.
