Operating Instructions
Dish Preparation
It is not necessary to rinse dishes before putting them into
the dishwasher. Just remove large pieces and quantities of
food, bones, pits, etc. Empty glasses and cups. It may be
necessary to presoak or lightly scour firmly cooked-on or
baked-on foods.
Food such as mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice
and tomato-based products may cause discoloration of
stainless steel and plastics if allowed to sit for a long
period of time. Unless the dishwasher is to be operated at
once, it is best to rinse off these food soils.

When HI-TEMP WASH ON option is selected, the
dishwasher heats the water in the main wash to
approximately 140°F (60°C).
This increase in water temperature helps dishwasher
detergent remove food grease and soil from dishes more
effectively and aids in drying. HI-TEMP WASH option can
be used with all cycles except CHINA CRYSTAL and RINSE
ONLY. HI-TEMP WASH is automatically provided when
HEAVY WASH cycle is selected.
To turn off the HI-TEMP WASH option, press the pad a
second time.

Air Dry Option
The unit defaults to heated dry when it is started with any
cycle selected. This drying uses a combination of the
heated dry with rinse aid that achieves enhanced drying
performance. If you prefer to only have AIR DRY for
dishes, you will select AIR DRY and the uit will not energize
the heating element. This will reduce energy consumption,
but reduce drying performance.

Sanitize Option
To sanitize your dishes and glassware, select the SANITIZE
option. The SANITIZE LED light will turn blue. This option
heats the water temperature in the final rinse to 157°F
(69.4°C) and maintains that temperature for 7 minutes.
SANITIZE is available in Pots & Pans, and Normal cycles.
Only these sanitization cycles have been designed to meet
NSF requirements.
The cycle time will be extended until the proper water
temperature is reached. Washing action will continue
during the water heating delay. For best results, the
incoming water temperature should be at least 120°F
(49°C).
If the SANITIZE option was selected, SANITIZED will be
displayed at the end of the cycle. SANITIZED will not
display at the end of the cycle if the NSF requirements for
sanitization are not reached. The sanitization criteria may
not be satisfied if there is an interruption of the cycle, a
power failure occurs, or if the incoming water tempera-
ture is below 120°F (49°C).
To turn off the SANITIZE option, press SANITIZE button
again and the LED light will turn off indicating it is not
selected for the cycle.
