Operuting Tips
Before You Start
• Don't prerinse.
Simply scrape off any bones or
large food
particles.
• If connected
to a food waste disposer, make certain
the disposer
is empty before starting the
dishwasher.
• Scrape off tomato-based
food soils (see page 11).
• Remove certain foods such as mustard,
mayonnaise,
lemon juice, vinegar, salt or dressings
from stainless
steel flatware
as soon as possible.
These foods may cause rusting and pitting if allowed
to remain in contact with the surface for an extended
period of time.
Operating the Dishwasher
1. After loading the dishwasher
and adding detergent,
select the desired cycle and options by pressing
the pads. The indicator
lights for the selected cycle
and options will illuminate.
To cancel an option
press the pad again.
2. To start a cycle, close the door until it latches then
press the START/Cancel
pad once. After a pause,
the fill will begin.
The display countdown
(select
models) will flash until START/Cancel
is pressed.
Note
• If START/Cancel
is not pressed within 30
seconds of choosing your cycle, the dishwasher
will turn off.
.
The dishwasher
remembers
your last cycle so you
do not have to reset the cycle each time. To start
the dishwasher
using the same cycle and options
selected on the previous wash, just press the
START/Cancel
pad.
To cancel a running cycle, press the
START/Cancel
pad once. The dishwasher
will
drain, then shut off. To turn the dishwasher
off
without
draining,
press the START/Cancel
pad
twice.
To prevent unplanned
cycle or option
changes, these selections are "locked
in" after 1
minute.
Note
• If a cycle pad is pressed after the controls
have
been "locked in", the light above the current cycle
will flash three times.
Adding a Forgotten Item
For best cleaning, the forgotten
item should be added
early in the cycle.
1. Grasp door handle and unlatch door without
opening completely.
All lights will flash to indicate
that the cycle is suspended.
2. Wait for the water circulation
to stop.
3. Open the door and add the item.
/4. Close and latch the door. Lights will stop flashing
when the door is properly shut. After a slight delay,
the cycle resumes automatically
at the point of
interruption.
Notes
• If the door is opened during a running cycle,
there may be up to a 30 second delay before the
dishwasher
restarts after closing the door.
• Extended interruption
of the wash cycle is not
recommended.
Loading
General Recommendations
(Rack
features
vary by model)
• Items can be centered
behind a single tine or loaded
at an angle to maximize space.
• Avoid blocking or preventing the spray arms from
spinning
freely.
Do not allow items to extend beyond
the racks.
• Face soiled surfaces in the upper and middle racks
toward the center of the dishwasher.
• Face soiled surfaces in the lower Flexload TM rack
down.
