manual abstract
The use of rinse aids greatly improves drying by allowing water to drain from the dishes after the final rinse. They also keep water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. Do not use a solid or bar-type rinse aid. Filling the dispenser The rinse aid dispenser holds 5 oz (150 mL) of rinse aid. Under normal conditions, this will last for about 1 to 3 months. 1. Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open. 2. Turn the dispenser knob to “Open” and lift it out. A. Dispenser knob B. Indicator C.

(When the rinse aid indicator drops to the “Add” level, add more rinse aid.) Full Add 4. Clean up any spilled rinse aid with a damp cloth. 5. Place the knob back into the opening and turn to the “Lock” position. Rinse aid setting The amount of rinse aid released into the final rinse can be adjusted. For most water conditions, the factory setting of 2 will give good results. If you have hard water or notice rings or calcium spots on your glasses or dishes, try a higher setting. Lock 65432---maxfill1----------Open To adjust the setting 1. Remove the dispenser knob. 2. Turn the arrow adjuster inside the dispenser to the desired setting by either using your fingers or inserting a flat-blade screwdriver into the center of the arrow and turning. 3. Replace the dispenser knob. Dishwasher Efficiency Tips Hot water dissolves and activates the dishwashing detergent. Hot water also dissolves grease on dishes and helps glasses dry spot-free. For best dishwashing results, water should be 120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher. Loads may not wash as well if the water temperature is too low. Water that is too hot can make some soils harder to remove and cause certain detergent ingredients not to function. If your water heater is located far from the dishwasher, it may be necessary to run the hot water at the faucet closest to the dishwasher to minimize the amount of cold water in the water line. To check water temperature 1. Run hot water at the faucet closest to your dishwasher for at least 1 minute. 2. Place a candy or meat thermometer in a glass measuring cup. 3. Check the temperature on the thermometer as the water is running into the cup. Additional efficiency tips ¦ To save water and energy and time, do not rinse dishes before putting them into the dishwasher. ¦ Use a low energy, quick, or short cycle whenever possible. These cycles use less hot water and energy than a normal cycle. ¦ Use a delay feature (on some models) to run your dishwasher during off-peak hours. Local utilities recommend avoiding heavy usage of energy at certain times of day. ¦ During the summer, run your dishwasher at night. This reduces daytime heat buildup in the kitchen. ¦ Use the energy-saving dry option whenever possible. Allow longer drying times (overnight) when using these options. Use a rinse aid to improve drying. ¦ Use cycles or options that add extra heat to the wash or rinse portion of the cycle only when needed. ¦ Run your dishwasher with full loads. Run a rinse cycle after meals until the dishwasher is full. ¦ If your home is equipped with a water softener, you may want to avoid starting the dishwasher during the regeneration of the softener, since this may contribute to poor wash performance. Cycle Selection Charts Select the wash cycle and options desired and press START/ RESUME. The dishwasher starts filling once you press START/ RESUME, unless you select a delay wash. You can change cycles and options as the machine is filling. After completing a wash cycle, the dishwasher remembers the cycle and options. It uses the same cycle and options again in the next wash cycle, if you press only START/RESUME. NOTE: If the door is opened during a cycle or the power is interrupted, the Start/Resume indicator flashes. The cycle will not resume until the door is closed and Start/Resume is pressed. A “” shows what steps are in each cycle. Your model may have some or all of the cycles shown. Display time is for models with the dual digit display on the console. These models meet the ENERGY STAR® guidelines for energy efficiency. Temperatures indicate where extra heat is added. The cycle countdown (on some models) pauses at these points until water reaches the temperature. Water usage is shown in U.S. gallons/liters. Pots & Pans Use this cycle for hard-to-clean, heavily soiled pots, pans, casseroles, and regular tableware. During the wash, the wash action will repeatedly pause for several seconds.
