For Best Results

Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot, clean water and detergent

against soiled surfaces of dishes. When a cycle is started, the dishwasher fills with water

to about the level of the heating element. This water IS pumped through the rotating

spray arms, drained through the filtersystem which removes food and soil, and pumped

back through the rotating spray arms. Soiled water is pumped out and replaced with

clean water during a cycle- the number of times depends on the cycle being used.

The self-cleaning filtering system and

removable pump guard help eliminate pre-

rinsing by removing food particles from the

water.

Load dishes so soiled surfaces face pow-

erful spray from rotating arms.

The filtering system

It is not necessary to rinse dishes before

putting them into the dishwasher. Just remove

large pieces and quantities of food and bones.

The flltenng system helps keep food particles

out of the wash water. Small particles are flushed

away as water is pumped out. Larger particles

are trapped in the pump guard.

To remove the pump guard for cleaning...

1. Wait at least 20 minutes atter a cycle for

the heating element to cool down.

2. Unload and remove the bottom rack.

3. Press the outside wall of the pump guard at

the center to release the latch

4. Lift out and rinse clean.

Removable Pump Guard

To replace the pump guard.

1. Insert pump guard legs (on Inside wall) Into

matching openings in filter screen.

2. Press down on outside wall unttl latch snaps

into place.

3. Replace bottom rack with rack bumpers in

front.

Water must be hot For best cleaning and drying results, water should be at least

14o’F (60°C).

1. Turn on hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher. Let water run

until it is as hot as possible.

Hold a candy or meat thermometer in the stream of hot water

to measure the temperature.

If the temperature is too low, have a qualified person raise

the water heater thermostat setting.

4 Check Water Temperature

Proper loading

Always load dishes so soiled surfaces are reached by spray from rotating spray arms.

Water must be able to drain off completely for best drying results. Be careful to

Separate

items so spray can reach all surfaces.

Top rack loading

UP AND GLASS LOAD

The top rack is designed for cups, glasses

and smaller items.

Place so open ends face down for clean-

ing and draining.

load glasses in top rack only. Bottom

rack is not designed for glasses. Damage

may occur.

Place items In the rows between prongs.

Placing them over the prongs can lead

to breakage.

Be sure lightweight items are held firmly

in place.

China, crystal and other delicate items

must not touch another item during dish-

washer operation. Damage may occur.

Load plastic items only in the top rack.

Only plastic items marked “dishwasher

safe” are recommended.

Plastic items can be melted in the bottom

rack.

Small bowls, pans and other utensils can

be placed in the top rack.

Items with cooked-on or dried-on foods should be loaded in the bottom rack with

soiled surfaces facrng the spray.

Bottom rack loading

Make sure pot handles and other items

do not stop rotation of either the upper or

lower spray arm. Spray arms must move

freely.

Securely place heavily soiled cookware

face down in rack.

UTENSIL 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.

NOTE:

Do not load glasses, cups or plastic items

in the bottom rack.

When lower rack is removed, replace

with bumpers in front.

Place plates, soup bowls, etc. be-

tween prongs and facing the spray.

Silverware basket loading

Load the stlverware basket while it’s in or

out of the bottom rack. The loaded basket

should be in the right front corner of the

bottom rack.

NO YES

nest together. Spray can’t reach nested

Items

MIX

Items In each sectron of the basket

with some pointing up and some down.

Small items - baby bottle caps, jar lids,

etc. - can be put in any section.

Make sure sharp items (knives, forks,

skewers, etc.) are put in point down. Make

sure long items do not stop the upper

spray arm from turning.

Adding detergent

The kind and amount of dishwasher detergent you use is an important part of

getting your dishes clean, Read this section carefully.

Use automatic dlrh-

washer detergent only.

Other detergents are

too mild and much too

sudsy to work in the

dishwasher.

Different brands of

dishwasher detergent

have different amounts

of phosphorus. Phospho-

rus softens water and

helps prevent water

spots on dishes.

If water is hard and

phosphorus content is

low (8.7% or less), you

may need to use more

detergent or use a

brand with a higher

phosphorus content

(12% or higher).

Do not add detergent

until you are ready to

wash. Fresh, dry deter-

gent is necessary tor

best washing results.

Store detergent tightly in

a cool, dry place.

The detergent dispenser

The detergent dispenser has one section with

a cover and one without.

Put detergent in both sections for cycles with

two washes.

Put detergent in the covered section only for

cycles with one wash.

Push the cover down

until it is latched.

The cover opens auto-

matically when the main

wash starts. Detergent in

the open ,section falls

into the dishwasher

when the door is closed.
