Wash Cycle Selections

Note:

 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.

Getting Started

1. Load dishwasher (See Preparing and

Loading Dishes).

2. Add detergent (See Dishwasher Dispenser

&  Detergents).

3. Add rinse aid, if needed (See Rinse Aid).

4. Close door to latch.
5. Select desired CYCLE (See Cycle Chart).

The indicator light above the pad will glow
when selected.

6. Select desired OPTIONS (See Energy

Options). The indicator light above the pad
will glow when selected.

7. Run hot water faucet nearest dishwasher

until water is hot. Turn water off.

8. To start, press START/CANCEL pad.

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.

Operating Your  Dishwasher!

Normal Operating
Sounds

This dishwasher does not sound like most
dishwashers—IT'S QUIETER.

Your Precision Wash System® dishwasher
uses energy efficient motors for the wash
and drain portions of the cycle you select.
Each cycle has a series of water fills and
drains for washing and rinsing dishes. As
each cycle begins, you may–or may not–
hear the drain motor.

The next sound you will hear is the
splashing water as it enters the tub. Then the
lower arm rotates and circulates water. This
is followed by a pause and a slightly different
sound as the middle arm sprays water. If you
listen closely, you will hear the change in
sound as the wash action switches from one
arm to the other.

PLEASE BE ADVISED: If you compare
this dishwasher to previous models, you
may be surprised at what you DON'T
hear!

Appearance may vary from your model.
