START-UP
Before using your dishwasher, remove all packaging materials. Read this entire Consumer Reference Guide, as well as the User
Instructions. You will find important safety information and useful operating tips.
Using Your Dishwasher
For all models:
1. Rinse aid is essential for good drying. Be sure to fill the
dispenser before you use your new dishwasher. Each filling
will last about 1 to 3 months depending on your usage.
2. Scrape large food soil and hard items (toothpicks or bones)
from dishes. You do not need to prerinse your dishes.
3. Properly load the dishwasher. (See “Loading.”) Load dishes
with space in between so water will reach the soiled surfaces.
Make sure nothing keeps the spray arm(s) from spinning
freely.
4. Add detergent. Always use a high-quality brand detergent.
(See “Dishwasher Use” in the User Instructions.)
5. Run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the
water is hot. Turn off water.

8. Press START/RESUME. Or press START/RESUME to repeat
the same cycle and options as in the previous cycle. The

IMPORTANT:
■
When the cycle starts, you will see a rotating pattern of lights
in the display window indicating that the dishwasher is
operating. This pattern will continue for up to 6 minutes while
the multiple sensors check the incoming water temperature,
rinse aid usage and soil level on dishes and cookware. The
sensors then determine the ideal wash for your dish load.
After sensing is complete, the display will show the number of
minutes left in the cycle and the cycle countdown will begin.
■
The cycle countdown pauses while the dishwasher heats the
water to a set temperature. (See “Cycle Selections.”)
