DISHWASHER MAINTENANCE
Detergents
High-quality premeasured tablets and packs are recommended
for improved performance.
Quality tablets and packs have been proven better than powder,
liquid, or gel detergents at reducing filming on dishes. Using
tablets and packs over time will start to reduce or eliminate white
film. They are suitable for all water hardness and soil levels. Also,
by using a rinse aid, you can minimize repeat buildup of white
film (not all packs and tablets contain rinse aid). Always place
premeasured detergents in main compartment and close lid.
The Pre-Wash indicator on the dispenser lid is for customers
who use powder or gel detergent and wish to add an amount of
detergent to the Pre-Wash cycle. The volume of detergent added
here is approximately 8 cubic centimeters, if filled full and level.
Any detergent added here would be immediately added to the
wash when the cycle starts versus detergent inside the dispenser
which is added during the main wash cycle.
NOTE:
Follow instructions on the package when using other
dishwasher detergent types.
■
Use automatic dishwasher detergent only. Add detergent just
before starting a cycle.
■
Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better
cleaning. Store tightly closed detergent container in a cool, dry
place.
■
Extremely hard water mineral deposits (15 grains per U.S.
gallon or more) can cause damage to your dishwasher and
make it difficult to achieve good results. A water softener is
recommended to avoid damage and achieve good results.

For more details about powders, liquids, and gels and hard
water conditions consult the brand website.
Rinse aid
Using rinse aid will optimize your drying and wash performance.
This dishwasher is specifically designed to be used with rinse aid
for improved drying performance and controlling buildup of hard
water deposits. Rinse aid needs to be added to the product every
1 to 3 months depending on usage.
Refer to the Quick Start Guide or brand website for information
about filling the rinse aid dispenser.
Cycle Selection and Energy
Efficient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy,
just as driving a car slower saves on gas. Typical cycle time is
approximately 2 1/2 hours, but can take less or significantly
more time depending on your selections and incoming water
temperature and amount of food soils on the dishes. For
optimum performance the dishwasher should be connected to a
120 F (49° C) hot water supply.
If you first press the Start button, the main sensor cycle with
heated drying will be automatically selected. This cycle senses
the soil amount, and toughness of soil, to adjust the cycle for
improved cleaning.
Sanitize or Sani
Sanitizes dishes and glassware in accordance with NSF
International NSF/ANSI Standard 184 for Residential
Dishwashers. Certified residential dishwashers are not intended
for licensed food establishments. Only sanitizing cycles have
been designed to meet the requirements of the NSF/ANSI
184 performance standard for soil removal and for sanitization
efficacy. There is no intention, either directly or indirectly, that
all cycles on a NSF/ANSI 184 certified dishwasher meet the
NSF/ANSI 184 performance standard for soil removal and for
sanitization efficacy. The Sani Rinse indicator glows at the end
of the cycle if the Sani Rinse option was successfully completed.
If the indicator does not activate, it is probably due to the cycle
being interrupted.
Tip Over Hazard
Do not use dishwasher until completely installed.
Do not push down on open door.
Doing so can result in serious injury or cuts.
