Hotpoint HDA829 Dishwasher User Manual


 
How to operate your dishwasher
STEP 1. Load your dishwasher
with dishes, silverware, pots,
pans, bowls, etc. according to
instructions on pages 8 and 9.
STEP 2. Add detergent to the
detergent dispenser. Make sure the
Cycle Indicator Dial is at OFF
position before adding detergent.
(See pages 6 and 7.)
Use rinse aid agent to help prevent
spotting. Occasionally check to
make sure the rinse agent container
is at least half full. (See page 6.)
STEP 3. Select DRYING HEAT
option. It must be ON for PLATE
WARMER cycle, OFF for RINSE
&
HOLD cycle. It can be ON or
OFF at your option (see below),
for any of the wash cycles.
DRYING HEAT

m
DRYING HEAT ON. Turns the
drying heater on for fast drying.
DRYING HEAT OFF. Turns the
drying heater off to save energy.
Dishes will dry naturally over a
longer period such as overnight.
If you need your dishes sooner,
open the dishwasher door after the
cycle is complete to reduce the
natural drying time.
Use of this option reduces the
electrical energy used by this
model approximately
10Yo
for the
NORMAL WASH cycle.
STEP 4. Select the wash cycle and
start dishwasher. (See Cycle
Selection Hints at right.)
If your dishwasher drains into a
food waste disposer, operate the
disposer until it is empty before
starting the dishwasher.
To obtain the benefits of a complete
cycle,
be careful that you
do not
turn the dial any further than
necessary
to start the dishwasher.
