Important Safety Instructions

WARNING

Please read all safety instructions before using your new appliance.

For Your Safety

•Use your dishwasher only as instructed in this Use and Care Guide.

•Use only detergents or rinse agent recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of reach of children.

•When loading items to be washed:

•Locate sharp items and knives so that they are not likely to damage the door seal or tub.

•Load sharp items and knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.

•Do not wash plastic items unless marked “dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. Check with manufacturer for recommendations, if not marked.

Plastic Items that are not dishwasher safe may melt and create a potential fire hazard.

•Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.

•Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.

Tip Over Hazard

Do not use dishwasher until completely installed.

Do not push down on open door.

Doing so can result in serious injury or cut.

WARNING

These guidelines must be followed to ensure that safety mechanisms in this unit will operate properly.

•If the dishwasher drains into a food disposer, maker sure disposer is completely empty before running dishwasher.

•Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before servicing.

•Do not tamper with controls.

•Do not let children abuse, sit, stand or play on door or racks of a dishwasher.

•Keep young children and infants away from dishwasher when it is operating.

•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 the dishwasher turn on all the hot water faucets and let the water

flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

•Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.

Operating Instructions

NOTE

Your Tower Wash System® dishwasher uses a proven single, rotating arm with a telescoping set of wash jets for targeting the upper rack.

Cycles begin with a drain to remove liquid that may have been added during loading. Following that, you may hear a series of wash segments for washing and later rinsing. These wash segments start with the addition of water, then follow by the spraying of dishes and then end by draining the wash or rinse fluid. Other actions will take place during the cycle that you will not be able to hear. these include addition of detergent, heating of the fluid, dispensing of rinse agent, and pulsed heating of the dishware after the final drain to improve drying.

GETTING STARTED

1.Load dishwasher (See Preparing and Loading Dishes).

2.Add detergent (See Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents).

3.Add rinse aid (See Rinse Aid).

4.Turn dial clockwise to select cycle (See Wash Cycle Selection).

5.Select desired OPTION (See Energy Option).

6.Run hot water faucet nearest dishwasher until water is hot. Turn water o .

7.To start, Close the door to latch.

CAUTION

Before starting dishwasher be sure tht the water is connected and turned on. Failure to do so may cause damage to the pump seal and result in water leakage.

Operating Instructions

Recommended Cycle for typical use:

The Normal cycle along with the heated dry option together provide the best all around performance. This cycle selection is recommended for everyday use and is suitable for a large range of both dish load

sizes and food quantities remaining on those dishes.

Option Selection Heavy Wash

For heavily soiled dishware, pots, pans, casseroles and dinnerware with dried-on or baked-on soils:

•Turn dial to HEAVY WASH

•Select desired heating option (heat dry/air dry).

Normal Wash

For daily, regular use to completely wash and dry up to a full load of dishes and silverware:

•Turn dial to NORMAL WASH

•Select desired heating option (heat dry/air dry).

Drying

For adding an additional dry period to a cycle to obtain warm, dry dishes:

•Ensure the heat dry option is still selected.

•Within 15 mins after cycle completion, open the door slightly, rotate the knob clockwise to “DRYING”, and close the door.

•For the best drying: While the door is open briefly to re-set the timer gently move the racks in and out an inch or two to spill out some of the water that may be trapped in recessed areas of dishware.

Water Heating Delay

This dishwasher is equipped with a thermostat to ensure that the water is heated to the proper temperature for optimal cleaning

and drying results. The knob/timer on the dishwasher may pause at the position labeled “water heating”. The dishwasher is not stuck here, but is simply heating the water to the proper temperature before advancing. A minimum water temperature of 120oF is recommended to minimize this water heating delay.

Using the Timer

The timer advances to complete the portion of the cycle between the dial position and OFF. Started at Heavy Wash it will run through Heavy, Normal and Dry. Set at Normal Wash it will run Normal and Dry, and so on.

•It is best to have the door unlatched while setting the timer.

•The timer dial should always be advanced in the clockwise direction.

•4 positions are available for use, the OFF position and the start positions for Heavy Wash, Normal Wash and Drying.

•Other stops on the dial path are to allow the unit functions to be quickly checked during production but are of no practical use for washing or drying dishes in the home.

•The “Water Heating” text is to mark the position where the dial may pause while temperature is increased to make the wash e ective - it is not a location for starting any cycle.

•The Heavy and Normal cycles start with a drain, then a fill, then spraying - you may not be able to hear that it has started at first.

Energy Option

The toggle switch provided to choose between heat dry and air dry a ects heater operation but only during the drying portion of the cycle. The selection may be made at any time prior to or during the cycle. It a ects only the portion of the cycle’s drying that follows the selection. With either option, you may see water vapor coming from the vent near the top of the door - this is normal.

Operating Instructions

Heat Dry Option

Selecting the Heat Dry option will cause the heating element to be on during the drying portion of the cycle.

The Heat Dry option in combination with rinse aid will improve drying results. The energy to use Heat Dry is greater than if Air Dry is selected but costs just pennies per cycle. Turning o the Heat Dry option, will result in more of the dish load being wet a the end of the cycle.

Air Dry Option

Selecting the Air Dry option reduces energy use and lowers costs by preventing the heating element from coming on during the drying portion of the cycle.

With this option drying may be improved by using rinse aid and opening the door slightly immediately after the cycle is complete.

Preparing and Loading Dishes

Prior to loading dishware into the dishwasher:	•	If the dishwasher drains into a Food
Scrape away large pieces of food, bones, pits,		Disposer, be sure disposer is completely
		empty before starting dishwasher.
toothpicks, etc. Loosen burned - on foods.
Empty liquids from glasses and cups.
Foods such as mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar,
lemon juice and tomato - based products
may cause discoloration of stainless steel and
plastics if allowed to sit for a long period of
time. Unless the dishwasher is to be operated
at once, it is best to rinse o these food soils
before loading the dishwasher.
This unit uses very little water. Generally,
running the cycle - even with half of a load
is more economical than rinsing by hand and
waiting to run the unit when a full load is
ready to wash.

Preparing and Loading Dishes

Loading the Dishwasher

•Load racks so that large items do not prevent the detergent dispenser from opening.

•Check manufacturer’s recommendations before washing items in question.

Loading the Top Rack

Features and appearance of racks and silverware basket may vary from your model.

The top rack is designed for cups, glasses, small plates, saucers and bowls.

Load glasses in top rack only. Damage may occur if placed in bottom rack.

Load plastic items in top rack only. Melting may occur if placed in bottom rack.

Load items with open ends facing down for better cleaning and draining.

Damage may occur if delicate items touch each other during dishwasher operation.

Long-handled knives and utensils can be placed in top rack.

Loading the Bottom Rack

Features and appearance of racks and silverware basket may vary from your model.

The lower rack is best for plates, saucers, bowls, and cookware. Large items should be placed along the edge so they do not block the spray arm extension. For the best results, place bowls, casseroles, and sauce pans with soiled surface facing down and toward the center. Tilt items slightly for better drainage.

Make sure tall items will not block the detergent dispenser’s door.

Be sure pan handles do not protrude through the bottom of the rack and block the spray arm rotation.

Do not block tower protector
