BASIC GUIDELINES
1. Open the door and load your dishes (see page 16).
- Place dishes into the upper and lower racks, unless you have selected half load.
- Remove any food remains from the dishes before placing them in the rack(s).
- After placing the dishes into the racks, rotate the nozzles by hand to check whether any of the
dishes will interfere with them.
- Make sure the dishes will not prevent the detergent dispenser from opening.
2. Add detergent to the dispenser (see page 18).
- Make sure to use only automatic dishwasher detergent.
- Refer to “Using the dispenser” on how to add detergent.
3. Close the door.
- Push the racks back so that they are in place, and then close the door.
- Make sure to close the door fi rmly. If the door is slightly ajar, the selected cycle will not start
automatically
4. Touch the Power button.
- When you press the Power button, the entire display turns on and off, and then the cycle light of the
most recently fi nished cycle lights up.
- If “Low Rinse” is illuminated, you should refi ll the rinse aid dispenser to improve washing and drying
performance.
5. Select an appropriate cleaning cycle depending on the soil level of the dishes. (see pages 10 and 22).
- Touch the appropriate cycle button.
- When you touch a cycle button, the cycle indicator light is illuminated. If you touch the cycle button
again, the light turns off and the cycle is canceled.
- For information about selecting a cycle according to the soil level of the dishes, see “Cycle
Selector”.
6. Touch the Start/Drain button.
- The dishwasher will start draining after a few seconds, and then start the cycle you selected.
7. When the wash cycle is completed.
- The Clean light illuminates and the dishwasher sounds a chime.
- The power is automatically turned off after 10 minutes.
If you want to load more dishes or pause the dishwasher while it is already running, make sure to open
the door slowly and carefully as there is a possibility of injury from the hot steam inside the dishwasher.
(If the door is opened while the dishwasher is running, a safety mechanism is activated and stops the
cycle.)
You should use rinse aids for better drying performance. You can further improve drying performance
by also selecting the Sanitize option.
If the “Low Rinse” lamp lights during a cycle, the dishwasher adds 30 more minutes to the Drying cycle
automatically after the Clean light illuminates.
When the water temperature of the last rinse of the Sanitize option reaches the sanitary temperature
(over 155 ˚F (68 ˚C)), the Sanitize lamp blinks, and then remains illuminated until the Sanitize option
ends. When you open the door or press the Power button, the “Sanitize” lamp turns off.
