spray arms.

BEFORE YOU CALL
Dishwasher has an Odor
•
Soiled dishes left in dishwasher too long
can create an odor. Use Rinse Only
cycle.
•
There will be a "new" smell when fi rst
installed. This is normal.
•
Check to see if unit is draining properly.
(See Dishwasher Does Not Drain
Properly).
Stains on Tub Interior
•
Washing large amounts of dishware with
tomato based soil can cause a pink/
orange appearance. This will not affect
performance and will gradually fade over
time. Pre-rinsing or using the Rinse Only
cycle will reduce the chance of staining.
Using no heat dry option will lessen
staining.
Opening the door during cycle
•
If the dishwasher door is opened while
the unit is running, the START/CANCEL
pad must be pressed and the door shut
immediately to return the unit to the
selected cycle and option, this must
happen within 10 minutes for the unit to
continue the cycle.
