| STERO SD3 DOOR-TYPE DISHWASHER
DISHWASHING
Scrape the dishes to remove large particles of food and debris. Never use steel wool on ware to be loaded into
the dishmachine.
Arrange the dishes in a rack. Do not stack dishes one on top of another, as water must have free access to all
sides of every dish. Stand plates and dishes up edgewise in a peg-type rack (Figure 19). Cups, glasses, and bowls
should be inverted in an open-type or compartment type rack (Figure 19). Silverware and other small pieces
may be scattered loosely over the bottom of a flat bottom rack.
Do not allow foreign objects to enter the unit, especially metallic contaminants.
After filling a rack, open the door, slide the rack into the dishwasher and close the door.
Throughout the wash cycle, the tank water temperature is displayed on the front panel display, along with the
word WASH and an icon. During the rinse cycle, the rinse water temperature is displayed, along with the word
RINSE and an icon. When the rinse cycle is completed, the readout displays the tank water temperature.
To add a dish after the wash cycle has started, open the door slightly. Wait 10 seconds to allow the wash arm
to coast down and to avoid water splashing before opening the door fully.
