Cycle Data
Changing a program after the unit has started The dishwasher is programmed to stop operating if the door is opened during a cycle. To change a program or option after starting the machine, open the door slightly to let the spray arms stop rotating and avoid getting sprayed with water. Press and hold START for four seconds to cancel the current selection. Then press the touchpad(s) for your desired selection.
Press START again and close the door. The drain pump will run to remove any dirty water from the dishwasher before starting the newly selected cycle. Check to make sure there is still detergent in the detergent dispenser.
Opening the door after Cycle has started If the door is opened for longer than five seconds, after the cycle has started, the START button will flash to indicate that the dishwasher is in Standby Mode. Press the START button before closing the door and the cycle will resume.
Power On Light A blue light will illuminate from the bottom right corner of the dishwasher kickplate when a cycle is running.
Load all items so that the force of the water and the detergent reach soiled surfaces.
DO NOT let china, crystal, and other delicate items touch each other during dishwasher operation.
DO NOT use door to push racks in. DO NOT put stainless steel of different qualities
close to each other. Contact can damage metals. Rinse stainless steel items if they will not be
washed immediately. Prolonged contact with salty or acidic foods will cause stains.
Note: DO NOT load dishes in a manner that would block the detergent dispenser lid from completely opening. The detergent dispenser could be damaged.
Note: DO NOT put sterling silver or silver-plated flatware in the same compartment with stainless steel. Contact between the metals can damage silver.
Extra Quiet Operation Hints Your dishwasher has been designed and engineered to give superior cleaning results and to operate very
quietly. To avoid any extra clattering or thumping noises during operation: Keep sink drain plugs inserted during dishwasher
operation to prevent noise transfer through drains. Load dishes so they do not touch each other. Make sure lightweight items are secured in
the rack. Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie
sheets, etc., DO NOT touch interior walls.
The Silverware/Cutlery Basket Tips for Best Cleaning Results: Distribute items evenly and mix knives, forks, and
spoons so that items will avoid nesting. ALWAYS place forks and spoons with eating
portions up and handles down. Each compartment has a lid which will separate the
silverware for the best cleaning and drying results. The lids also hold small, lightweight items in place.
IMPORTANT: Sharp or pointed items, such as knives, should always be put in with the point down to protect your hands.
Basket can be moved to upper rack or lower rack.
Adjusting Racks The Lower Rack The lower rack is best for dinner plates, smaller plates, serving plates, larger bowls, pots, and pans. Securely place heavily soiled cookware face down in
the rack. Use the fold-down tines to provide space for large
items such as pots and pans.
Make sure pot handles and other items DO NOT stop rotation of lower wash arm by hanging below the rack.
The Upper Rack The upper rack is best for glasses, cups, bowls, small plates, and saucers and can accommodate full-sized plates up to 10-1/4. Make sure small plastic items are held firmly in
place with Hold Tight dividers. Arrange
stemware between prongs of stemware cradle so that the stemware cannot move easily.
Make sure items hanging below the rack DO NOT block the rotation of the wash arm.
