2. Spinthe spray arm. itshould tum freely.

3. Add detergent. See page 10.

4. Add rinse agent, ifneeded. Sea page 11.

5. Close door firmly until it latches.

7. Select a drying option. (See page 13.)

=,, For models with buttons, the

indicator above the button will

NOTE: Select AIR DRY for

the RINSE & HOLD cycle. For

Series 840 models, push a

Cycle button for the desired

cycle. NORMAL WASH,

LIGHT WASH, and RINSE & HOLD

cycles share the same button. The Cycle

operates. For Series 830 models, the

HEAT DRY option is automatically

selected with the POTS & PANS cycle.

8. Turn the Cycle Control Knob clockwise to

the desired cycle. You will

feel a definite =stop" at each

cycle merk. The dishwasher

automatically starts the cycle

you select.

NOTE: If the door is latched, you will hear

the cycles start and stop as the control

knob passes each cycle mark. This is

normal and does not hurt the dishwasher.

Ifyou prefer, you can set the Cycle

Control Knob with the door unlatched.

6. Run hot water at the sink nearest the

_dishwasher until water is hot.

Turn water off. (See page 20.)

Stopping the dishwasher

during a cycle. All you have to de is:

•Open the door slightly. Wait for any filling

or spraying action to stop before opening

the door all the way. Close the door to

continue the cycle.

clockwise until you hear water draining. Let

the dishwasher drain completely. Then

open the door and turn the Cycle Control

Knob to OFF.

Loading Your Dishwasher

This section tells how to properly load your dishwasher for best washing and rinsing results.

Preparing to load the dishwasher

• To save water and energy, do not rinse

dishes before puttingthem intothe

dishwasher.

•Remove large pieces offood, bones, and

other hard Hems.

•Foods like eggs, rice, pasta, and cooked

cereals may be hard to remove if leftto dry

over aperiod of time. Run a RINSE &

HOLD cycle to keep dishes moist if you do

not plan to wash them soon.

• Load dishes so soiled surfaces face the

rotating spray am.

• Load dishes so they are not stacked or

overlapping. It is important for the water

spray to reach all soiled surfaces for best

washing. For best drying, water must be

able to drain from all surfaces.

Loading for quiet operation

•Secure lightweight load items in the racks.

•Pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie

sheets, etc., should not touch interior

walls, interfere with the spray arm's

rotation, or cover the spray tower.

•Load dishes so they do not touch one

another.

NOTE: Keep sink drain plugs inserted

during dishwasher operation to prevent

noise transfer through drains.

Loading the silverware basket

Personal Injury Hazard

Load sharp items (knives, forks,

skewers, etc.) with the point down.

Failure to do so could cause personal

injury.

•Load the silverware basket while it is in the

bottom rack or take the basket out for

loading on a counter or table.

NOTE: The loaded basket must be placed

in the center front (over the spray tower) of

the bottom rack for proper washing.

•Mix items in each section of the basket

with some pointing up and some down to

avoid nesting. Spray cannot reach nested

items. However, always load sharp items

(knives, skewers, forks, etc.) pointing

down.

•Put small items (baby bottle caps, jar lids,

etc.) in any section.

•You can also remove the basket for easy

unloading. Always unload or remove the

basket before unloading the racks to avoid

spilling water on the silverware.

Loading the bottom rack

Load items with cooked-on or dried-on food

inthe bottom rack, with soiled surfaces

facing inward to the spray.

Mixed load

• Load plates, soup bowls, etc., between

prongs and facing inward to the spray.

not stop rotationof the spray arm. Spray

arm must move freely.

•Load items so they do not block or cover

the spray tower.

in rack.

•Do not stack or overlap dishes. Water

spray must reach all soiled surfaces for

best results.

Mixed load

• Load cookie sheets, cake pans, and other

large items at sides and back. Loading

such items in front may keep water spray

from reaching detergent dispenser and

silverware basket.

NOTE:

•Do not load glasses, cups, or plastic items

in the bottom rack.

•Do not load items between the bottom rack

and the side of the dishwasher tub. This

can block the water inlet opening.

•If you have removed the bottom rack for

unloading or cleaning, replace it with

bumpers in front.

Using the Dispensers

For best washing results, review the informationbelow. It is important to use detergents and

rinse agents properly.

Using the detergent dispenser

• Use sutomatle dishwashing detergent

only. Other detergents are too mild and

much too sudsy.

place. Fresh automatic dishwasher

How much detergent to use

•The amount of detergent to use depends

on the hardness of your water and the type

of detergent. If you use too little, dishes

won't be clean. If you use too much in soft

water, glassware will etch.

• Different brands of dishwasher detergent

have different amounts of phosphorus for

softening water. If you have herd water

and use low phosphorus content detergent

(6.0% or less), you may need to use more

detergent or use a detergent with a higher

phosphorus content (8.7%).

•Find out your water's hardness by asking

your local water department, water soft-

ener company, or county extension agent.
