: Water
lo get dishes clean and dry you need hot
water. To help you get water of the proper
temperature, your dishwasher
automatically heats the water in the wash
cycle. Higher water temperature is needed
to dissolve grease and activate powder
detergents. For good washing and drying,
the entering water must be at least 120°F.
To prevent dish damage, inlet water
should not exceed 150°F.
Check your water temperature with a
candy or meat thermometer.
Turn on the hot water faucet nearest the
dishwasher. Put the thermometer in a
glass and let the water run continuously
into the glass until the temperature stops
rising.
Do not operate the dishwasher during or
right after other heavy use of hot water,
such as for laundry or bathing.
Water Pressure
Water supply pressure must be between
15 and 120 pounds per square inch.To
determine if you have enough pressure,
p'" a 1 quart container under a fully
ed hot water faucet nearest the
eJ_nwasher. If the container fills in less
:" 9 seconds, water pressure is within
.cceptable range. Be sure all other
faucets are turned off during this test.
Water ConditiOns

Detergents "
Only use detergents labeled for use in
automatic dishwashers. NEVER use
laundry de'_ergents, liquid soaps or other
household cleaners in your dishwasher.
Some detergents will be more effective
with your water conditions than others.
Store detergent in a cool, dry place.
Rinse Agents
Rinse agents make water flow off dishes
quicker than usual. This lessens water
spotting and makes drying faster, too.
Rinse agents come in either liquid or solid
form. Your dishwasher's dispenser uses •
the liquid form..
Mostutensils and dishware can be safely
washed in your dishwasher. However,
some materials may require special
handling.
Aluminum: Some darkening may take
place. Colored aluminum may fade. Do
not place aluminum items directly infront
of detergent dispensers where contact
with undissolved detergent could cause
pitting, spotting or discoloration.
Cast Iron: Cast iron utensilsshould be
handwashed.

those with gold or platinum rings should
be handwashed.

LOWER RACK (appearance will vary)
NOTE: Do not load large platters or trays
in front right corner of lower rack. They
may prevent detergent from circulating
in the wash cycle.
The lower rack is best used for plates,
saucers, and cookware. Large items such
as broiler pans and racks should go in the
lower rack along the edge. Load platters,
pots and bowls along the sides, in
corners, or inthe back. For best washing
results, all items should be positioned with
the soiled side of the dish facing the
center of the rack.

Distribute evenly.
Small plastic items, such as measuring
spoons and lids from small containers,
are not recommended for automatic
dishwashing. If placed in dishwasher, they
should go in bottom of utensil basket with
silverware on top.
Utensil basket
Keep center area clear in the
lower rack.
The Wash Tower rises through the center
of the lower rack during the wash and rinse
portions of the cycle. Don't block it or load
tall things next to it. Also, be careful not to
let a portion of an item such as a pot or
dish handle extend through the bottom
rack. This could block the wash arm and
cause poor washing results.
