may cause damage to the pump seal and result
in water leakage.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Wash Cycle Selections
Cycle times are approximate and will vary with
options selected. Hot water is necessary to
activate dishwasher detergent and melt fatty food
soils. An automatic sensor will check the incoming
water temperature and, if it is not hot enough,
the cycle will be lengthened for automatic water
heating in the main wash and fi nal rinse of all
cycles. This happens even when HI-TEMP WASH
option has not be selected. When HI-TEMP WASH
is selected, an even higher temperature will be
reached to handle heavier soil loads.
Option Selections
NOTE
ë
Your dishwasher uses a DishSense
TM
Technology to understand how much food is on the dishes and then
adjusts the cycle accordingly.
Wash Pressure
The programmed cycles default to the “surge”
pressure option which varies the pressure
optimally for the cycle’s intended normal use. If,
for some special circumstance, either a very low
“spray” or very high “scour” pressure is desired
that may be selected by pressing the WASH
PRESSURE pad. Due to wash cycle optimization,
some pressure options are not selectable in all
wash cycle.
Wash Temp
The programmed cycles default to the “normal”
temperature option, to choose HI-TEMP or
SANITIZE press WASH TEMP pad again.
Hi-Temp Wash Option
HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, by pressing the
WASH TEMP pad. The dishwasher heats water in
the main wash to approximately 140
o
F (60
o
C) and
increases the temperature higher in the fi nal rinse
to help with the drying stage.
This helps dishwasher detergent remove food
grease and soil from dishes more effectively and
aids in drying performance by adding additional
rinse aid and increasing the water temperature.
Recommended Cycle for typical
use:
The Normal cycle with its factory default options
of normal temperature and heated dry together
provide the best all around performance. This
cycle selection is recommended for everyday use
and is suitable for a large range of both dish load
sizes and food quantities remaining on those
dishes.
Sanitize Option
To sanitize your dishes and glassware, select
SANITIZE option, by pressing WASH TEMP pad.
When selected, the light will come on and remain
on until end of cycle. The water temperature in
the fi nal rinse will be raised to 155
o
F (68
o
C) and
will maintain that temperature for 9 minutes. This
option is available in Heavy and Normal Cycles.
Only these sanitization cycles have been designed
to meet NSF requirements.
The cycle time will be extended until the proper
water temperature is reached.
Washing action will
continue during the water heating delay. For best
results, the incoming water temperature should be
at least 120
o
F (49
o
C).
The sanitize criteria may not be satisfi ed if there is
an interruption of the cycle, power failure or if the
incoming water temperature is below 120
o
F (49
o
C).
To turn off the SANITIZE option, press the Wash
Temp pad. The SANITIZE light will turn off.
