Dishwasher Use

Hot Water

For optimal cleaning and drying results, hot water is necessary. The incoming water temperature should be 120° F (49° C) to properly activate the detergent and melt greasy food soils.

To check the incoming water temperature, turn on the hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher and let it run into a glass in the sink. Place a candy thermometer in the glass and check the temperature once it has stopped rising.

Detergent

Use a detergent designed specifically for use in an automatic dishwasher. Be sure it is fresh. Store granular detergent in a cool, dry place (not under the sink).

Add recommended amount of detergent to each cup as shown and close the detergent lid.

Do not use detergent with the

Rinse Only cycle.

Leave the detergent lid open when running Rinse

Only.

Recommended Amount

Too little detergent result filming/spotting and poor drying. Too much detergent can cause permanent etching/cloudiness.

The amount of detergent to use is determined by the hardness of the water and soil level of the load. Refer to the following chart for detergent usage recommendations.

Rinse Aid

Regular use of a rinse aid improves drying, reduces spotting and filming, and reduces moisture left on the dishwasher interior

An automatic rinse aid dispenser is located next to the detergent cup.

The window next to the dispenser cap indicates when the rinse aid reservoir needs to be refilled. When the level of rinse aid is below the indicator marks and the window is nearly clear, it is time to refill the dispenser.

Check the dispenser monthly.

• Check water valve inlet for sediment and clean if necessary.

• If hooked up to a food waste disposer, be sure the knock-out is removed from the disposer inlet.

• Check for food obstruction in the drain or disposer.

• Check drain hose for a kink.

• Check your home‘s circuit breaker or fuse box.

•

Check that the cycle is completed.

• This is normal. The sensor (select models) in the pump must stay submerged so a short fill of water is added after the cycle’s last drain.

• Check that the cycle is completed.

• Be sure dispenser is not blocked.

• Use fresh detergent stored in a cool, dry place.

• A water valve hiss during fill is normal.

• Water circulation sounds are normal.

• A thumping sound may be a wash arm bumping an item that is extending beyond the racks. Readjust load to avoid obstructing wash arm.

• Chopping or grinding sounds may be heard as the internal chopper blade chops hard items like fruit seeds, nuts, etc.
