manual abstract
The float must be in place for the dishwasher to operate. Important: A small amount of water always remains in the bottom of the dishwasher (under the ultrafine filter) to keep the seal moist. The coarse strainer may be removed, if necessary. To remove, lift strainer out by squeezing center section (F) and remove. To replace, squeeze center section so clips snap into square notch. Possible Burn Hazard Heating element will be hot immediately following use. Do not touch. To avoid burns wait at least 20 minutes after a cycle for the heating element to cool down. 17 Problem-, Cause, Solution Chart A convenient checklist for handling minor performance problems.
