How long does the clean indicator stay lit after the 
cycle is complete? 

The clean light indicator on the dishwasher will stay lit for 4 min-
utes before turning off. You can, however, program the dishwash-
er so that the clean light stays on until the dishwasher door opens. 

Why does my dishwasher continuously beep if 

I open the door during a cycle or right after the  

cycle has finished?

This is normal. The dishwasher is letting you know that the interior 
temperatures of the unit are hot and to use caution when placing 
your hands inside. Once the unit has cooled down, the beeping 
will stop.

PRODUCT FEATURES AND  

OPERATION

What is the benefit of steam?

Steam allows for thorough cleaning of baked on foods while us-
ing less water than other power scrub methods. Steam also allows 
for enhanced cleaning performance when cleaning fine china and 
stemware items on a delicate cycle. Stream particles are smaller 
and more active so their penetrating power is more effective. 
Steam also increases the interior temperature of the dishwasher, 
which helps in melting oily or waxy substances, like lipstick along 
the rim of a glass.

What is Child Lock and how is it activated? 

Child Lock is a feature that will prevent the controls from being 
changed during the cycle. It does not prevent the door from be-
ing opened or the unit from being powered off. To activate or de-
activate, press the High Temp and Rinse buttons  simultaneously 
for 3 seconds.

Why is “PF” showing up on the display? 

PF is not an error code indicating a malfunction. PF indicates that 
there was a power failure. This function protects the dishwasher 
in the event that the power goes out or the power to the unit is 
disrupted. When power is returned and a button is pushed, this 
will display for 10 seconds and then go away.

INSTALLATION

What size is the 90° elbow? 

The 90° elbow should have a 3/8” NPT on the end that connects 
to the dishwasher.

Can I add an extension to the drain hose? 

No, an extension cannot be added.
