manual abstract
Do not mix silver and stainless to avoid damaging the silver finish. Adding a Dish To add or remove items after wash cycle starts: • Unlatch door and wait a few seconds until wash action stops before opening. • Add the item and wait a few seconds to allow cold air to slowly expand inside dishwasher. • Close door firmly to latch and resume cycle. 9 Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents Filling the Detergent Dispenser The detergent dispenser has one covered and one uncovered cup. Detergent in the uncovered cup falls into the dishwasher when the door is closed. The covered cup opens automatically to release detergent. • Use only fresh automatic dishwashing detergent. Other detergents will cause oversudsing. • When using automatic dishwashing detergent tabs, place one tab in main wash cup and close. • Add detergent just before starting cycle. • Store detergent in a cool, dry location. Moist or caked detergent will not dissolve properly. How much Detergent to use The amount of detergent to use depends on the water hardness. Water hardness is measured in grains per gallon. Using too little detergent can result in poor cleaning and hard water filming or spotting. Using too much detergent in soft water can cause a permanent film called etching. Your local water company, water softener company or county extension agent can tell you the water hardness in your area. Cover Main Wash Cup Pre Wash Cup Cover Latch Note: If the cover is closed on the Main Wash Cup, open by pressing the cover latch. Detergent Usage Guide Cycle Soft Water (0-3 grains) Medium Hard Water (4-8 grains) Hard Water (9-12 grains) Very Hard Water* (over 12 grains) Pots Pans Heavy Wash or Normal Wash 2 teaspoons (each cup– 1/4 full) 5 teaspoons (each cup–fill to line above "Regular") 8 teaspoons (each cup– completely full) Each Cup– Completely Full (water softener recommended) Short Wash 2 teaspoons (Main Wash cup– 1/4 full) 5 teaspoons (Main Wash cup–fill to line above "Regular") 8 teaspoons (Main Wash cup– completely full) Main Wash Cup– Completely Full (water softener recommended) Rinse/Hold No Detergent No Detergent No Detergent No Detergent (water softener recommended) *Note: For very hard water, detergent alone may not be enough. A water softener is recommended to improve water quality and dishwashing performance. Try adding more detergent at the beginning of the main wash portion of the cycle. As a rule, use 1 teaspoon for each grain above 12. Unlatch the door, open slowly and add detergent to the bottom of the tub. Close the door to latch and the dishwasher will continue through the cycle. 10 Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents (continued) Rinse Aid Rinse aid greatly improves drying and reduces water spots and filming. Water “sheets” off dishes rather than forming water droplets that cling and leave spots. A dispenser, located next to the detergent cup, automatically releases a measured amount of rinse aid during the last rinse. If spotting and poor drying are problems, increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed by rotating the dial to a higher number. The dial is located under the dispenser cap. The indicator will be dark when full and will show clear when it is time to refill. To add liquid rinse aid, turn dispenser cap 1/4 turn counterclockwise and lift out. Pour in rinse aid until liquid touches the indicated fill level. Replace cap. Do not overfill since this can cause oversudsing. Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth. The dispenser holds enough for 35 to 140 washes, depending on setting. Factors Affecting Performance Water Pressure The hot water line to dishwasher must provide water pressure between 20 and 120 psi. Low water pressure may occur when laundry or showers are in operation. Wait until water use is reduced before starting dishwasher. Water Temperature Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and drying results. Water entering dishwasher should be at least 120°F (49°C) to give satisfactory results. To che...
