How to operate your dishwasher

STEP 1. Load your dishwasher
with dishes, silverware, pots,
pans, bowls, etc. according to
instructions on pages 8 and 9.

STEP 2. Add detergent to the
detergent dispenser. Make sure the
Cycle Indicator Dial is at OFF
position before adding detergent.
(See pages 6 and 7.)

Use rinse aid agent to help prevent

spotting. Occasionally check to
make sure the rinse agent container
is at least half full. (See page 6.)

STEP 3. Select DRYING HEAT
option. It must be ON for PLATE
WARMER cycle, OFF for RINSE

 HOLD cycle. It can be ON or

OFF at your option (see below),
for any of the wash cycles.

DRYING HEAT

ON

OFF

m

DRYING HEAT ON. Turns the

drying heater on for fast drying.

DRYING HEAT OFF. Turns the

drying heater off to save energy.

Dishes will dry naturally over a
longer period such as overnight.

If you need your dishes sooner,
open the dishwasher door after the

cycle is complete to reduce the
natural drying time.

Use of this option reduces the

electrical energy used by this
model approximately 

 for the

NORMAL WASH cycle.

STEP 4. Select the wash cycle and
start dishwasher. (See Cycle
Selection Hints at right.)
If your dishwasher drains into a

food waste disposer, operate the
disposer until it is empty before
starting the dishwasher.

To obtain the benefits of a complete

 be careful that you do not

turn the dial any further than
necessary 
to start the dishwasher.
