EdgeStar 18” Built-In Dishwasher

Before You Begin (Continued)
 Remove all packaging materials carefully.
 The dishwasher must be installed on a solid, level surface.
For Best Results:
Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of clean hot water and
detergent (under pressure) against the soiled surfaces of dishes. The
water is pumped through a rotating spray arm, drained through a filter
(removing food and soiled particles) and pumped back through the
spray arm. Soiled water is pumped out and replaced with clean water
at the end of each cycle (the number of times this is repeated
depends on the wash cycle chosen).
Water Temperature
For best results, the water temperature must be at least 120ºF (49ºC). To
prevent damage to the dishwasher, the temperature of the incoming
water supply should not exceed 149ºF (65ºC).
NOTE:
Hard water conditions will adversely affect the washing performance
of your dishwasher. Hard water conditions will also contribute to “lime”
(white film substance) deposits and/or “scaling” on the stainless steel
surface of the dishwasher tub and heater element, located in the
sump underneath the removable filter screen. To assist in minimizing
these conditions, it is recommended to periodically operate/rinse the
inside of the dishwasher (empty) using 1 cup of white vinegar.
Note: New installations
require more time than
replacement
installations. Installation
of this dishwasher
requires basic
mechanical, electrical
and plumbing skills.
Proper installation is the
responsibility of the
installer. Product failure
due to improper
installation is not
covered under the
warranty.
