START-UP GUIDE
Before using your dishwasher, remove all hang tags,
temporary labels, and packaging materials. Read this
entire Use and Care Guide. You will find important safety
information and useful operating tips.
Using Your New Dishwasher
1. Scrape large food soil and hard items (toothpicks or
bones) from dishes.
2. Properly load the dishwasher. (See “Loading Your
Dishwasher.”) Make sure nothing prevents the spray
arm(s) from spinning freely.
3. Add detergent and check the rinse aid dispenser. Add
rinse aid if needed. (See “Using Your Dishwasher.”)
4. Push door firmly closed. The door latches
automatically. Run hot water at the sink nearest your
dishwasher until the water is hot. (See “Dishwasher
Efficiency Tips.”) Turn off water.
5. Press the desired cycle and option selections. (See
“Using Your Dishwasher.”) Press START.
LOADING YOUR
DISHWASHER
Loading Suggestions
■ Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other
hard items from the dishes. It is not necessary to rinse
the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. The
wash module removes food particles from the water.
The module contains a chopping device which will
reduce the size of food items.
NOTE: If hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts, and egg
shells enter the wash module, you might hear chopping,
grinding, crunching, or buzzing sounds. These sounds
are normal when hard items enter the module. Do not let
metallic items (such as pot handle screws) get into the
wash module. Damage can occur.
■ Load dishes so soiled surfaces face the spray (down or
inward). It is important for the water spray to reach all
soiled surfaces.
■ Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping if
possible. For best drying, water must be able to drain
from all surfaces.
■ Load heavy pots and pans carefully. Heavy items can
dent the stainless steel interior of the door if they are
dropped or bumped.
■ Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie
sheets, etc., do not interfere with the spray arm
rotation.
■ Run a rinse cycle to keep dishes moist if you do not
plan to wash them soon. Foods like eggs, rice, pasta,
spinach, and cooked cereals may be hard to remove if
they are left to dry over a period of time.
Quiet operating tips
To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation:
■ Make sure lightweight load items are secured in the
racks.
■ Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie
sheets, etc., do not touch interior walls or interfere with
the rotation of the spray arm.
■ Load dishes so they do not touch one another.
NOTE: For built-in models, keep sink drain plugs
closed during dishwasher operation to prevent noise
transfer through drains.
