Normal Operation
The following conditions are normal and indicate proper operation.
Motor sounds will be heard before water enters the tub.
Short time delays occur after a cycle is selected and between washes and rinses.
A small amount of clean water will remain in the bottom of the tub after each cycle.
LOADING YOUR DISHWASHER
It is not necessary to rinse dishes before putting them into the dishwasher. Just remove large
pieces and quantities of food and bones. Empty cups and glasses. It may be necessary to
presoak or lightly scour firmly cooked-on or baked-on foods.
Always load dishes so soiled surfaces are reached by water spray from rotating spray arm or
center wash tower. Water must be able to drain off completely for best results.
