Soil Settler Soil Removal System

The Soil Settler soil removal system cleans by spraying a mixture of hot, clean water and detergent against soiled dishes.

When a cycle is started, the dishwasher fills with water to a level near the bottom of the overfill protector. This water is pumped through the rotating spray tower and spray arm, circulated through the filter system which collects food and soil, and pumped back through the rotating spray tower and spray arm.

Soiled water is then pumped out and replaced with clean water during a cycle; the number of times depends on the cycle being used.

To clean the Soil Settler filter screen

1. Wait at least 20 minutes after a cycle

element to cool down.

Unload and slide the bottom rack forward. (Remove bottom rack if necessary to reach filter screen.)

Remove collected particles from the screen with your finger or a paper towel.

Return the bottom rack to its original position.

A special adapter must be installed on the faucet before the dishwasher can be connected. Complete Installation Instructions and the adapter are packed with your dishwasher. (See the Installation Instructions.)

When moving your dishwasher, make sure the door is latched. Hold the dishwasher at the top front corners.

Preparing the faucet

Remove the screen holder or aerator, screen, and washer from the end of the faucet.

Use the faucet adapter kit that came with your portable dishwasher to modify the faucet where the dishwasher will be used.

Turn the hot water off. (This can be done after the last rinse.)

Press the red button on the connector to release the water pressure.

■ It is important for the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces.

■ Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping if

possible. For best drying, water must be able to drain from all surfaces.

Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets,

■

etc., do not interfere with the spray arm rotation.

■ Run a rinse cycle to keep dishes moist if you do not plan to

wash them soon. Foods like eggs, rice, pasta, spinach, and cooked cereals may be hard to remove if they are left to dry over a period of time.

Quiet operating tips

To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation:

■ Make sure lightweight load items are secured in the racks.

■ Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets,

etc., do not touch interior walls or interfere with the rotation of the spray arm.

■ Load dishes so they do not touch one another.

NOTE:

For built-in models, keep sink drain plugs closed during

dishwasher operation to prevent noise transfer through drains.

Loading the Top Rack

The top rack is designed for cups, glasses, and smaller items. (See recommended loading patterns shown.)

NOTE:

The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the

drawings shown.

1. Faucet adapter

2. Locking collar

3. Red button

4. Hose connector

Lift slightly on the hose connector while pulling down the locking collar. Pull down on the connector.

Empty any remaining water from the connector by turning the connector upside-down.

Unplug the power supply cord and return it to the storage compartment.

Return the hoses to the storage compartment.

DISHWASHER

Loading Suggestions

Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard

■

items from the dishes. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes before putting them into the dishwasher. The wash module removes food particles from the water. The module contains a chopping device which will reduce the size of food items.

NOTE:

enter the wash module, you might hear chopping, grinding, crunching, or buzzing sounds. These sounds are normal when hard items enter the module. Do not let metallic items (such as pot handle screws) get into the wash module. Damage can occur.

If hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts, and egg shells

Cup and glass load

Mixed load

Place items so open ends face down for cleaning and

■

draining. Load glasses in top rack only. The bottom rack is not

■

designed for glasses. Damage can occur. Place cups and glasses in the rows between tines. Placing

■

them over the tines can lead to breakage. China, crystal, and other delicate items must not touch each

■

other during dishwasher operation. Damage may occur.

■ Load plastic items in the top rack only. Only plastic items

marked “dishwasher safe” are recommended.

■ Load plastic items so the force of the spray does not move

them during the cycle. To avoid chipping, do not let stemware touch other items.

■

Small bowls, pans, and other utensils can be placed in the

■

top rack. Load bowls in the center section for best stability.

Loading the Bottom Rack

The bottom rack is designed for plates, pans, casseroles, and utensils. Items with cooked-on or dried-on food should be loaded with soiled surfaces facing inward to the spray. (See recommended loading patterns shown.)

NOTE:

The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the drawings shown.

Do not cover spray tower. See arrow.

Loading the Silverware Basket

Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom rack or take the basket out for loading on a counter or table.

NOTE:

Unload or remove the basket before unloading the racks

to avoid spilling water droplets on the silverware.

Style 1 (on some models)

Style 2 (on some models)

Mixed load

Do not load glasses, cups, or plastic items in the bottom

■

rack. Load small items in the bottom rack only if they are secured in place.

Load plates, soup bowls, etc., between tines and facing

■

inward to the spray.

■ Overlap the edges of plates for large loads.

Load soup, cereal, and serving bowls in the rack in a variety

■

of ways depending upon their size and shape. Load bowls securely between the rows of tines. Do not nest bowls because the spray will not reach all surfaces.

Utensil load

Load cookie sheets, cake pans, and other large items at the

■

sides and back. Loading such items in front can keep the water spray from reaching the detergent dispenser and silverware basket.

Secure heavily soiled cookware face down in the rack.

■

Make sure pot handles and other items do not stop rotation

■

of the spray arm(s). The spray arm(s) must move freely. Do not load items between the bottom rack and the side of

■

the dishwasher tub because they might block the water inlet opening.

NOTE:

If you have removed the bottom rack for unloading or

cleaning, replace it with the bumpers in front.

Mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing up and some down to avoid nesting. Spray cannot reach nested items.

IMPORTANT:

Always load sharp items (knives, skewers, etc.)

pointing down.

NOTES:

Do not load silver or silver-plated silverware with stainless

■

steel. These metals can be damaged by contact with each other during washing.

Some foods (such as salt, vinegar, milk products, fruit juices,

■

etc.) can pit or corrode silverware. Run a rinse cycle if you do not have a full load to wash immediately.
