Before You Start

* Don't prerinse. Simply scrape off any hones or

large food particles.

* If connected to a food waste disposer, make certain

the disposer is empty before starting the dishwasher.

* Scrape off tomato-based food soils (see page 11). * Remove certain foods such as mustard,

mayonnaise, lemon juice, vinegar, salt or dressings from stainless steel flatware as soon as possible. These foods may cause rusting and pitting if allowed

to remain in contact with the surface for an extended

period of time.

Operating the Dishwasher

1. After loading the dishwasher and adding detergent, select the desired cycle and options by pressing the pads. The indicator lights for the selected cycle and options will illuminate. To cancel an option

press the pad again.

2. To start a cycle, close the door until it latches then press the START/Cancel pad once. After a pause, the fill will begin. The display countdown will flash until START/Cancel is pressed.

Note

Adding a Forgotten item

For best cleaning, the forgotten item should be added

early in the cycle.

1. Grasp door handle and unlatch door without opening completely. All lights will flash to indicate

that the cycle is suspended.

2. Wait for the water circulation to stop.

3. Open the door and add the item.

4. Close and latch the door. Lights will stop flashing when the door is properly shut. After a slight delay, the cycle resumes automatically at the point of

interruption.

Notes

• If the door is opened during a running cycle, there may be up to a 30 second delay before the

dishwasher restarts after closing the door.

* Extended interruption of the wash cycle is not

recommended.

* If START/Cancel is not pressed within 30

seconds of choosing your cycle, the dishwasher will turn off.

The dishwasher remembers your last cycle so you do not have to reset the cycle each time. To start the dishwasher using the same cycle and options

selected on the previous wash, just press the

START/Cancel pad.

3. To cancel a running cycle, press the START/Cancel pad once. The dishwasher will

drain, then shut off. Toturn the dishwasher off without draining, press the START/Cancel pad twice. To prevent unplanned cycle or option

changes, these selections are "locked in" after 1 minute.

Note

+ If a cycle pad is pressed after the controls have

been "locked in", the light above the current cycle

will flash three times.

General Recommendations

[Rack features vary by model[}

* Items can be centered behind a single tine or loaded

at an angle to maximize space.

* Avoid blocking or preventing the spray arms from

spinning freely. Do not allow items to extend beyond the racks.

+ Face soiled surfaces toward the center of the

dishwasher.

RackShelf

Upper Rack

The edge of the Folding Shelf is designed to hold

stemware in place. Taller stemware will fit better on

the right side as the

upper rack is deeper on this side.

The Folding Tines (select

models} located in the front right corner provide

convenient loading space for large, bulky items like

pots and pans or mixing

bowls. To lower tines, carefully push the tines out of each

holder toward the center of the rack and lay the tines down.

Glasses, cups, stemware, light-weight plastics, plates,

bowls, pans, long-handled utensils etc. can be loaded in this rack. Do not load glasses over the tines.

The Folding Shelf on the right side of the

upper rack folds up or down for loading flexibility. Fold it down to

hold long-handled

knives, spatulas and spoons or short items like cups or

juice glasses. Fold it up for taller items like glasses,

bowls, plates, etc.

LOAD=

Lower Rack

A variety of items such as

dinner plates, mixing bowls, pots and pans and baking

dishes can be loaded in this rack.

Tall items such as bakeware

and large platters can be placed on the left side.

With the Folding

Shelf shelf raised, thin items

like cookie sheets or pizza pans

may be placed along the left

side. With the shelf down, two levels of glasses and cups can be

loaded. Convertible Tines (select

models) in the back, right corner can be adjusted to

provide narrow spacing for loading plates or wide spacing for loading deep bowls, pots or pans. Flip tines up for narrow spacing or down for

wider spacing.

Utensil Baskets

Removable Silverware Basket (select models)

For best cleaning results, prevent

items from nesting together by placing some items in the basket with handles up and some with

handles down. Load knives, handles up and spoons and forks

handles down, through the slots in the hinged covered section(s)

(when closed).

Be sure that thin, finely pointed items do not extend through the basket. This could block the lower wash

arm. Small, lightweight items like baby spoons and plastic

measuring spoons should be placed in the section(s) with the hinged cover(s].

Split Silverware Basket (select models)

The split silverware basket can be separated and placed in

several locations in the bottom rack. Load flatware and utensils

into both sections or just one, depending on your load.

To split the basket, hold

the basket firmly along

the sides. Unlock baskets as shown here.

Auxiliary Basket

items and utensils. This is also a safe place to load

sharp knives and pointed items.
