appliances from the circuit.
In some installations, the power to the dishwasher is
provided through a wall switch, often located next to the
disposer switch. Make sure it is on.
Unlock control panel. See the Getting started section.
Each pad must be touched within 30 seconds of the
others. To relight, touch any pad again or open the door
and unlock (top control).
Clean the air gap. See the Care and Cleaning section.
Refer to the Installation Instructions for proper drain line
installation.
If you have an air gap, clean it. See the Care and
Cleaning section.
If the dishwasher drains into a disposer, run disposer clear.
Check to see if your kitchen sink is draining well. If not,
you may need a plumber.
