Dishwasher User Manual

START-UP GUIDE

Before using your dishwasher, remove all packaging materials. Read this entire Use and Care Guide. You will find important safety

information and useful operating tips.

Using Your New Dishwasher

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. (See

“Rinse Aid Dispenser.”)

2. Scrape large food soil and hard items (toothpicks or bones)

from dishes.

3. Check and clean drain assembly screens. (See “Cleaning.”)

4. Insert the drain stopper and turn right ¼ turn to close.

5. Properly load the dishwasher. (See “Dishwasher Loading.”)

Load dishes with space in between so water will reach the

soiled surfaces. Make sure nothing prevents the spray arm

from spinning freely.

6. Add detergent. Always use a high quality brand detergent.

(See “Dishwasher Use.”)

7. If you do not have the hot water tank accessory, run hot water

at the sink until the water is hot. (See “Dishwasher

Performance Tips.”) Turn off water.

8. Press the desired cycle and option selections on the control

panel. Or press the Start pad to repeat the same cycle and

options as the previous cycle. (See “Dishwasher Use.”)

9. Press the Start pad on the top of the dishwasher opening.

The lights on the control panel will flash once.

10. Push lid firmly closed. Turn lid lever to latch.

If the lid is opened during the cycle, the cycle will stop. Close

the lid firmly and the cycle will continue.

NOTE: If the dishwasher senses the drain stopper is not

closed properly, selected cycle is canceled. Lid pops open

and Check Drain indicator is lit. Insert drain stopper again and

seal. Start cycle again.

11. The lid opens automatically at the end of the cycle.

NOTE: Do not place anything on the dishwasher lid when

running a cycle. Anything placed on the top of the lid may

keep the lid from opening after a cycle, resulting in poor

drying.
