Load the dishes.
Pull each rack out and load the dishes as described in this manual.
Only load items that are dishwasher-safe.
Scrape the dishes free of excess food, bones, and any other hard, non-soluble residue. Remove solid, burned-on scraps from dishes prior to loading in the dishwasher.
Place items with deep dish bottoms at an angle to help water run off and speed the drying process.
Do not load items that are not heat-resistant or have decorative metal trim.
Add the detergent.
Using the guidelines in this manual, fill the detergent cup with the recommended amount of detergent and close the lid. If a prewash is desired, the recess on top of the lid should also be filled with detergent.
Turn on the dishwasher.
To turn on the display panel, press the POWER button.
Check the rinse aid.
The Rinse Aid e icon will flash if the level of rinse aid in the dishwasher is low. Add rinse aid if the level is low to maintain the effectiveness of the dry cycle.
Select the cycle and options.
Select the cycle and options that best fit the load by referring to the Cycle Guide. The display will show the estimated time for the cycle and options selected.
Operate the dishwasher.
The dishwasher will start automatically, after a slight delay, when the door is closed and latched. During the cycle, the display will indicate the estimated time remaining for the cycle and options selected.
If the door is opened during the cycle, the dishwasher will stop. When the dooris closed, the cycle will resume from the point where it was stopped.
End of cycle.
When the cycle is complete, a chime will sound and the display will show ENd. After a short time, the display and controls will shut off for safety and energy conservation.
It is normal for the dishwasher to chime continuously if you open it during operation or just after the cycle ends. The dishwasher is letting you know that the interior temperatures of the unit are hot and to use caution when reaching inside. Once the unit has cooled down, the chiming will stop.
Do not open the door during operation or immediately after it has completed the wash cycle as the escaping steam may cause scalding as the door is opened.
Empty the lower rack first and then the upper rack. This will avoid water dripping from the upper rack onto dishes in the lower rack.
The dishwasher automatically turns off after four minutes of inactivity if paused or if no cycle is started.
