1. Load dishwasher (See Preparing and Loading

Dishes).

2. Add detergent (See Dishwasher Dispenser &

Detergents).

3. Add rinse aid (See Rinse Aid).

4. Select desired CYCLE (See Cycle Chart). The

indicator light above the pad will glow when selected.

5. Select desired OPTIONS (See Energy Options). The

indicator light above the pad will glow when selected.

6. Run hot water faucet nearest dishwasher until water

is hot. Turn water off.

7. To start, press START/CANCEL pad.
8.   Close door to latch.

NOTE

The dishwasher is programmed to remember your last cycle

so you do not have to reset each time. To start the

dishwasher using the same cycle and options selected on

the previous wash, just press the START/CANCEL pad.

Wash Cycle Selections

Cycle times are approximate and will vary with options

selected. Hot water is necessary to activate dishwasher

detergent and melt fatty food soils. An automatic sensor

will check the incoming water temperature and, if it is

not hot enough, the timer will be delayed for automatic

water heating in the main wash of all cycles. This

happens even when HI-TEMP WASH option has not been

selected. When HI-TEMP WASH is selected, an even

higher temperature will be guaranteed to handle heavier
soil loads.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Options Selections

Wash Pressure

The WASH PRESSURE option allows you to select the

desired wash pressure depending on your dishload.  When

HIGH WASH PRESSURE is selected, the wash pressure is

increased by 30% to provide faster and more effective

cleaning.  When LOW WASH PRESSURE is selected, the

wash pressure is decreased by 30% to clean delicate dishes

without damage.  HIGH WASH PRESSURE can be used with

all cycles except CHINA CRYSTAL and RINSE ONLY.  HIGH

WASH PRESSURE is automatically provided when POWER

PLUS or QUICK CLEAN cycles are selected.  LOW WASH

PRESSURE can be used with all cycles except QUICK CLEAN

and RINSE ONLY.  LOW WASH PRESSURE is automatically

provided when CHINA CRYSTAL 

(TOP RACK)

 is selected.

WASH PRESSURE may be selected before the wash cycle is

started, or anytime during the wash cycle.

Getting Started

Hi-Temp Wash

When HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, the dishwasher
heats water in the main wash to approximately 140°F
(60°C).

This increase in water temperature helps
dishwasher detergent remove food grease and soil from
dishes more effectively and aids in drying. This option is
available in NORMAL WASH and TOP RACK. HI-TEMP WASH
is automatically provided when HEAVY WASH cycle is
selected.
