The energy use of your dishwasher was reduced by applying more of the factors that don’t use so much energy and less of the ones that use more. As a result, you will see that the wash cycles take longer. NOTE Very Important Information— Read Before Operating Your Dishwasher! Normal Operating Sounds This dishwasher does not sound like most dishwashers—IT'S QUIETER. Your dishwasher with it’s Precision Direct Wash System® has many enhancements to reduce it’s sound level. Still, it is normal to hear some of what is going on inside. The was cycles include several instances of water entering the unit (splashing), the wash pump running to spray water on the dishware (motor & splashing) and the drain pump running to dishcharge the dirty water and soils. Variations in the pumping/spraying sounds are normal. During a cycle the pump switches on and off many times, and operation switches back and forth between wash arms to provide the best cleaning performance. If you select the Normal Cycle, twice during the cycle you will hear the wash motor going on and off at a much different cadence. The pump will pulse several times, repeatedly turning on for less than a second and off for 10 seconds. This allows it to drive soils off the filter and into the drain while using very little water. If, after selecting the Normal Cycle, you select either the Sanitize or Hi-Temp Wash options your dishwasher will understand that a stronger wash is needed and it will not use this pulsing routine. PLEASE BE ADVISED: If you compare this dishwasher to previous models, you may be surprised at what you DON'T hear! 4 DISHWASHER FEATURES 1. Load dishwasher 2. Add detergent 3. Add rinse aid 4. Select desired CYCLE. The indicator light above the pad will glow when selected. Heating Element Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot water and detergent through the spray arms against soiled surfaces. Each cycle begins with a pre-drain. Next, the dishwasher fills with water covering the filter area. Water is then pumped through the spray arms onto the dishware. Soil particles go down the drain as the water is pumped out and replaced with clean water. The number of water fills will vary with the cycle being used. Features may vary by Model.

Getting Started NOTE To customize your dishwasher to match your cabinets: • You will need a Trim Kit. • See Step 10 of the Installation Instructions that came with your dishwasher for more information. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Wash Cycle Selections Cycle times are approximate and will vary with options selected. Hot water is necessary to activate dishwasher detergent and melt fatty food soils. During the main wash and final rinse, recirculating fluid returning from being sprayed on the dishware is continually heated. As needed, the cycle is lengthened to assure that the fluid temperatures critical to wash and rinse are achieved. Selection of higher temperature options to handle heavier soils or to sanitize dishware will result in longer cycle responses. Options Selections Hi-Temp Wash When the HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, the dishwasher heats water in the main wash to approximat...
