NOTE

Very Important Information—

Read Before Operating Your

Dishwasher!
Normal Operating  Sounds

T

his dishwasher does not sound like most

dishwashers—IT'S QUIETER.

Your dishwasher with it’s  Precision Direct Wash

System®  has many enhancements to reduce it’s

sound level.  Still, it is normal to hear some of what is

going on inside.  The was cycles include several

instances of water entering the unit (splashing), the

wash pump running to spray water on the dishware

(motor & splashing) and the drain pump running to

dishcharge the dirty water and soils.  Variations in the

pumping/spraying sounds are normal.  During a cycle

the pump switches on and off many times, and

operation switches back and forth between wash arms

to provide the best cleaning performance.

If you select the Normal Cycle, twice during the cycle

you will hear the wash motor going on and off at a

much different cadence.  The pump will pulse several

times, repeatedly turning on for less than a second

and off for 10 seconds.  This allows it to drive soils off

the filter and into the drain while using very little

water.  If, after selecting the Normal Cycle, you select

either the Sanitize or Hi-Temp Wash options your

dishwasher will understand that a stronger wash is

needed and it will not use this pulsing routine.

PLEASE BE ADVISED: If you compare this

dishwasher to previous models, you may be

surprised at what you DON'T hear!

NOTE

Why Energy Efficicent Units run long cycles:  Several

factors are important to washing disware.  The energy

use of your dishwasher was reduced by applying more of

the factors that don’t use so much energy and less of the

ones that use more.  As a result, you will see that the

wash cycles take longer.
