Temp Boost(select models) checks the main wash and final
rinse water temperatures and will extend the heating and

Care & Cleaning
Interior
The dishwasher interior is normally self-cleaning.
Periodically check the bottom of the dishwasher tub to see if
any large particles have not gone through the strainer
portion of the module.
W
ipe the edge of the inner door liner to r
emove any food soil
splashes which occurred during loading.
The color from some tomato-based food soils has been
known to occasionally adhere to today's dishwasher tubs,
causing temporary discoloration. To help prevent this, when
washing a load of dishes soiled with tomato sauce:
• Scrape excess tomato-based food soils off of dishes, prior
to loading. Do not prewash the dishes, however.
• Run the
Heavy W
ash
cycle.
Exterior
The fr
ont of the dishwasher can be cleaned with a soft damp
cloth and liquid spray cleaner
. Do not use abrasive powders
or cleaning pads.
Storage/Moving
Fill both deter
gent cups with a fr
esh-scented dishwasher
detergent or baking soda and select the
Normal Wash cycle.
Allow the dishwasher to complete the cycle. Then turn the
water supply off and drain the dishwasher. To drain, start any
cycle as all cycles begin with a drain. Listen for the drain to
complete, then open the door to interrupt the cycle prior to the
fill. Operate the drain twice to ensure most of the water is
removed. Last, disconnect the electrical supply and prop open
the door. (See Important Safety Instructions, #14, page 1).

Select Temp Boost to ensure proper water temperature for
activating detergent and dissolving greasy food soils.
Extended Wash (select models) provides a water
t
emperature check early in the main wash and also in the
f
inal rinse of the cycle. If necessary, the heating element
turns on and the cycle extends until the water is heated to the
proper temperature. Select
Extended Wash for best results
when washing loads with tough food soils.
Heated Dry turns the heating element on to improve drying
results. Selecting Heated Dry Off (select models) or Energy
Saver (select models) turns the element off to save energy.
Towel drying may be needed with these selections. In
models with plastic interiors, it is normal to notice vapor
escaping from the door vents as the heat dries your dishes.
Vapor will escape even if Heated Dry is not selected.
Delay Hours (select models) can be used to delay the start
of the cycle for up to 6 hours. The Delay Start indicator light
glows when the dishwasher is set for a delay start.
The Water Heating indicator light (select models)
illuminates when the cycle is being extended to heat the
water to the proper temperature.
