Stopping the dishwasher

You can stop your dishwasher anytime

during a cycle. All you have to do is:

l Open the door slightly. Wait for any filling

or spraying action to stop before opening

the door all the way. Close door to con-

tinue cycle.

l Press CANCEL/DRAIN. Once pressed, a

2-minute drain starts. See page 13.

Loading Your Dishwasher

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

Preparing to load the dishwasher

l To save water and energy, do not rinse

dishes before putting them into the

dishwasher.

l Remove large pieces of food, bones, and

other hard items. The POWER CLEANTM

module removes food particles from the

water. The module contains a chopping

device which reduces the size of food items.

NOTE: If hard items such as fruit seeds,

nuts, and egg shells enter the POWER

CLEAN module, you might hear chopping,

grinding, crunching, or buzzing sounds.

Those sounds are normal when hard items

enter the module. Do

not

let metallic items

(such as pot handle screws) get into the

POWER CLEAN module. Damage can

occur.

l Foods like eggs, rice, pasta, and cooked

cereals may be hard to remove if left to dry

over a period of time. Run a RINSE/WASH

LATER cycle to keep dishes moist if you

do not plan to wash them soon.

l Load dishes so soiled surfaces face the

rotating spray arm.

l 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

l Secure lightweight load items in the racks.

l 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.

l 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 cutlery basket

Use the cutlery basket to hold long items.

Always unload or remove the cutlery basket

before unloading the racks to avoid spilling

water on the cutlery.

IMPORTANT: Remove the basket and tip

the contents onto a cutting board to unload.

This helps avoid accidents with sharp points

and edges.

To remove the cutlery basket:

1. Grasp the basket on both sides and slide

it toward the top of the door.

2. Lift the basket off the holding buttons.

To replace the cutlery basket:

1. Set the basket on the holding buttons.

2. Slide the basket toward the bottom of the

door until it locks into place.

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.

l Load the silverware basket while it is in the

door or take the basket out for loading on a

counter or table.

l 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.

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

etc.) in any section.

l 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.

To remove the basket:

Grab the basket by the handle and slide

it toward the top of the door.

2. Lift the basket off the holding buttons.

To replace the basket:

Set the basket on the holding buttons.

2. Slide the basket towards the bottom of

the door until it locks in place.

To open the basket:

l Unhook the latch as shown.

NOTE:

Be sure the cover is completely

latched before pulling out the bottom rack

and before closing the dishwasher door.

Loading the bottom rack

Load items with cooked-on or dried-on food

in the bottom rack, with soiled surfaces

facing inward to the spray.

Mixed load

l Load plates, soup bowls, etc., between

prongs and facing inward to the spray.

l Make sure pot handles and other items do

not stop rotation of the spray arms. Spray

arms must move freely.

l Load items so they do not block or cover

the spray tower.

l Load heavily-soiled cookware face down

in rack.

l Do not stack or overlap dishes. Water

spray must reach all soiled surfaces for

best results.

Utensil load

l 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:

l Do not load glasses, cups, or plastic items

in the bottom rack.

l Do not load items between the bottom rack

and the side of the dishwasher tub. This

can block the water inlet opening.

l If you have removed the bottom rack for

unloading or cleaning, replace it with

bumpers in front.

Fold-down divider

Use the fold-down divider at the back of the

rack to make room for deep bowls, roasters,

etc.

Mixed load

Loading the top rack

Load the top rack with cups, glasses, and

smaller items. Do not cover the third level

wash when loading the top rack.

Cup and glass load

l Load so open ends face down for cleaning

and draining.

l Load glasses in top rack only - bottom

rack is not designed for glasses. Damage

can occur.

l Place items in the rows

between

prongs.

Placing them over the prongs may lead

to breakage.

l Secure lightweight items.

l China, crystal, and other delicate items

must not touch each other during dish-

washer operation. Damage may occur.

Mixed load

l Small bowls, pans, and other utensils can

be placed in the top rack.

l Load plastic items in the top rack only.

Plastic items may melt in the bottom rack.

l Wash only plastic items marked “dish-

washer safe.”

l Load plastic items so the force of the spray

does not move them during the cycle.

Extra-capacity fold-down

shelves

Use the fold-down shelves on both sides of

the top rack for extra loading space. Fold

them down over short items such as cups,

juice glasses, cereal bowls, etc.

l Adjust rack height if necessary (see below).

l To avoid chipping, do not let stemware

touch other items.

Infinite adjustable top rack

Raise or lower the rack to fit tall items in

either the top or bottom rack. The top rack

does not have to be level.

l Turn the knob clockwise to raise a side of

the rack.

l Turn the knob counterclockwise to lower a

side of the rack.

Do not cover third level wash

Using the Dispensers

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

rinse agents properly.

Using the detergent dispenser

Use automatic dishwashing detergent

only.

Other detergents are too mild and

much too sudsy.

Add detergent just before starting cycle.

Store tightly-closed detergent in a cool, dry

place.

Fresh automatic dishwasher

detergent results in better cleaning.

Filling the detergent dispenser

The detergent dispenser has one section

with a cover and one without. Push cover

down firmly until it latches. Detergent in the

open section falls into the dishwasher when

closing the door. The covered section opens

automatically for the main wash.

NOTE:

It is normal for the cover to open

partially when dispensing detergent.

Coyer Cover, Latch

Use only covered

section for:

- LOW ENERGY/

CHINA

Use both sections for:

- NORMAL

- HEAVY

- POTS-N-PANS

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 hard 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.
