Quick Starting Steps

1. Properly load the top and bottom racks, and silverware baskets.

2. Spin the Upper and Lower Spray Arms to make sure nothing will stop them from turning freely.

3. Add detergent.

4. Check rinse aid dispenser.

POWER CLEAN* Washing System

Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot, clean water and detergent against soiled surfaces of dishes. When a cycle is started, the dishwasher fills with water to about the level of the heating element. This water is pumped through the rotating spray arms, through the POWER CLEAN* Module which removes food particles, and back through the rotating spray arms. Soiled water is pumped out and replaced with clean water during a cycle - the number of times depends on the cycle being used.

Load dishes so soiled surfaces face powerful spray from rotating arms.

5. Close and latch door.

6. Run hot water at sink nearest dishwasher until it is hot. Turn it off.

7. Select a cycle.

8. Select an option.

9. Press START.
