To reduce the risk of injury when loading items to be
washed, sharp or pointed items should be located with
the handles up.Also load sharp items so they are not
likely to damage the door seal.
,

lated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable do not
smoke or use an open flame during this process.

Rack Sto
Reverse the above procedure to

For optimal cleaning and drying
results, hot water is necessary. The
incomingwater temperature should be
120-140oF (49-60° C) to properly acti-
vate thedetergent and melt greasyfood
soils.
Tocheck the incoming water temperature,
turn on the hot water faucet nearest the
dishwasherand 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. If the temperature is
below 120°F(49° C),havea qualifiedper-
son raise the water heater thermostat set-
ting.
Beforestarting the dishwasher,turn on the
hot water faucet and let it run until the
water ishot. This assures that the initial fill
of water is hot.
The amount of detergent to use is deter-
mined by the hardness of the water and
Use a detergent designed specifically for
use inan automatic dishwasher.Be sure it
isfresh and stored in a cool, dry place(not
underthe sink).

Do not use detergent with Rinse Only.

Rinse Only,
In extremely hard water conditions (13
grains per gallon or more*), it is difficultto
achieve good resultswith any dishwasher.
A mechanicalwater softener may be nec-
essary to improve water quality,detergent
effectiveness, and protectthe dishwasher
parts from thedamage that hard watercan
cause.
*Your local water utility or state universi-
ty extension service can tell you the
degree of water hardness in your area.
** Add recommended amount of deter-
gent to either side of the Main Wash
compartment.
Regular use of a rinse aid improves
drying, reduces spotting and filming,
and reduces moisture left on the dish-
washer interior.
An automatic rinse aid dispenser is locat-
ed next to the detergent cups. The win-
dow next to the dispenser cap indicates
when the rinse aid reservoir needs to be
refilled. When the level of rinse aid is
5
belowthe indicatormarksand thewindow
is nearly clear, it is time to refill the dis-
penser. Checkthe dispenser monthly,
To add rinse aid to the dispenser,turn the
cap counterclockwise to open. Remove
the cap and pour liquid rinse aid into the
opening. The amount of rinse aid dis-
pensed during the cycle is adjustable by
movingthe lever insidethe reservoirarea.
Use setting "1" for soft water. Adjust it up
to the "MAX"settingfor hardwater, Set the
leveranywherebetweentheseamounts as
needed. Replacethe cap andturn itclock-
wiseto close.
