Add rinse aid
■
Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid for good drying
performance. Without rinse aid, your dishes and dishwasher
interior will have excessive moisture. The heating and drying
options will not perform as well without rinse aid.
■
Rinse aid keeps water from forming droplets that can dry as spots
or streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to drain off
of dishes after final rinse. Rinse aid does not adhere to dishware,
and when used, it is dispensed during each cycle.
■
To add rinse aid, open the dispenser
lid by gently pushing in the center of
the lid with your thumb while lifting up
on the edge.
■
Pour rinse aid into the opening until
the indicator level shows that it is full.

Close dispenser by pushing down gently on the lid.
NOTE:
For most water conditions, the factory setting will give
good results.
If you are experiencing poor drying performance, you may
want to try a higher setting. Turn the arrow adjuster to a
higher number to increase the amount of rinse aid.

Select a cycle
Efficient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy, just as
driving a car slower saves on gas. Typical cycle time is approximately

You can customize your cycles by pressing the options desired. If you
change your mind, press the option again to turn off the option. Not
all options are available for every cycle. If an invalid option is selected
for a given cycle, the lights will flash. Adding options may increase the
cycle time.

Start or resume a cycle
NOTE:
If needed, run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher
until the water is hot. Turn off water.
Push door firmly closed within 4 seconds of pressing Start/Resume. If
door is not closed within 4 seconds, the Start/Resume button LED will
flash and the cycle will not start.
IMPORTANT:
If the door is opened for any reason after the cycle is
started (even during the Delay option), the Start/Resume button must
be pressed again.
8.
Follow the progress of your dishwasher
The indicator LED on the front right corner of the door panel will
glow while running the cycle and will go out when the cycle is
complete. Also, the LED display on the control panel will light up
during the cycle for Wash, Drain, Drying, Clean, and Sanitized.
CYCLE GUIDE
This information covers several different models. Your dishwasher may not have all of the cycles and options described.
IMPORTANT:
The sensor in your dishwasher monitors the soil level. Cycle time and/or water usage can vary as the sensor adjusts the cycle for
the best wash performance. If the incoming water is less than the recommended temperature or food soils are heavy, the cycle will automatically
compensate by adding time, heat, and water as needed.
