USING YOUR DISHWASHER

Hot Water is Essential

For good cleaning and drying results, hot water

is necessary. The water should be 120o-14QoF. If,

for any reason, the temperature of the water

being delivered by the water heater is below

120°F, select the Temp Boost Sensor option to

have your dishwasher heat the water.
To check water temperature, turn on the hot

water faucet nearest the dishwasher. Let water

run into a glass in the sink until it is as hot as
possible, then check with a candy or meat
thermometer. If the temperature at the faucet is

below 120°F (49°C), have a qualified person
raise the water heater thermostat setting.

Before startirig the dishwasher turn on the hot
water faucet and let it run until the water is hot.

Preparing Dishes

.It is not necessary to rinse dishes before

placing them in your Maytag dishwasher.

Simply scrape off bones and large pieces of
food. The food disposer in your dishwasher
can handle a variety of items such as pits, fruit
seeds, pOpcorn and toothpicks. These items

will be chopped into small pieces during drain
and removed with the drain water. Ifhard
items get into the dishwasher module, you

may hear chopping noises during drain. These

sounds are normal.

loadin{J Your Dishwasher

Seldom will households have identical dishes;
the number and type of articles used will vary
daily. Your dishwasher is designed to be flexible
and accomrelodate a wide variety of dishes and
utensils. Th(~ following insti"uctionsand pictures
will help you become familiar with your
dishwasher. 'With experience, you will learn the

best arrangement for your particular needs.

General I~ecommendations

.Place all items on racks so they are separated

and face the center to insure the water spray
will reach the soiled surfaces. Do not allow
items to eJctend out of the racks..

.Make sure the movement of the upper and

lower spray arms is not blocked by items
hanging b4~low the lower rack or tall articles in
the upper rack.

.Insure the free flow of water totlledetergent

cup by n01: blocking it with large items.

.Larger, flat, lightweight items (such as plastic

covers) may be wedged next tothesilveIWare
basket or1uong the sides and back of the racks.

.The wash Itower rises through the center of the

lower rack during the cycle. For the best
cleaning r.~sults, avoid blocking it or loading
tall article:) next to it.

.Foods that have been burned onto cooking

utensils will need to be scraped or soaked.

.Certain foods, such as mustard, mayonnaise,

lemon juice, vinegar, salt or dressings may

cause stainless steel flatware to rust and pit if
