FRIGIDAIRE A23587501 24-Inch Dishwasher Overview

Summary of Contents

• Page 1: Introduction Important safety information Features Controls and settings Operating instructions Care and cleaning Troubleshooting Limited warranty
• Page 2: Welcome to our family. Very important information - read before operating your dishwasher. This manual is your resource for the use and care of your product. Your Precision Direct Wash System dishwasher uses energy efficient motors. Each cycle has a series of water fills and drains for washing and rinsing dishes. If you compare this dishwasher to previous models, you may be surprised at what you don’t hear. Why energy efficient units run long cycles: several factors are important to washing dishware. The energy use of the dishwasher was reduced by applying more factors that don’t use so much energy. The filters will need to be cleaned to maximize wash performance during the life of your dishwasher. Keep your product info here so it’s easy to find.
• Page 3: IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION When using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions. Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before servicing. Use your dishwasher only as instructed in this Use and Care Manual. Repairs should be done by a qualified technician. Do not tamper with controls. DISHWASHER MUST BE ELECTRICALLY GROUNDED. Use care unloading the dishwasher when the Sanitize option has been selected. Water vapor from the vent may be hot to the touch. Keep young children and infants away from the dishwasher when it is operating. Use only detergents and rinse agents recommended for use in a dishwasher.
• Page 4: Important safety information includes child safety warnings and precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using the dishwasher. Destroy or recycle the carton, plastic bags, and any exterior wrapping material immediately after unpacking. Children should never use these items to play as they can cause suffocation. Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable liquids near the appliance. Read all instructions before using the appliance. The safety alert symbol indicates potential personal injury hazards. Remove all staples from the carton to prevent cuts and damage to finishes. DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation that can result in death or serious injury. WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation that could result in death or serious injury. CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation that may result in minor or moderate injury.
• Page 5: Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot water and detergent through the spray arms against soiled surfaces. The dishwasher drains for a few seconds to remove soils dropped while loading, then fills with water covering the filter area. Water is then pumped through the spray arms. Soil particles go through and across the filter and down the drain as the water is pumped out. This series of steps are repeated as needed. Features may vary according to model. Accessories are available for your appliance and may be purchased at Frigidaire.com or from an authorized seller.
• Page 6: Controls and settings provide essential information for operating the dishwasher. Cycle times are approximate and will vary with options selected. Hot water is necessary to activate dishwasher detergent and melt fatty food soils. An automatic sensor checks the incoming water temperature and adjusts the cycle accordingly. DishSense technology determines if additional water fills are needed based on the soil level on dishes. The dishwasher remembers your last cycle for convenience. The programmed cycles default to the Normal wash cycle option. The Normal Wash cycle is recommended for everyday use and suitable for various dish loads. To sanitize dishes, select the Sanitize option, which raises the water temperature in the final rinse. Not all cycles and options are available on all models.
• Page 7: Controls and settings Select the Normal Wash cycle and the cycle time will be extended until the proper water temperature is reached. For best results, the incoming water temperature should be at least 120°F (49°C). The Delay option allows you to automatically delay starting your dishwasher from 2-4-6 hours. The sanitize criteria may not be satisfied if there is an interruption of the cycle, power failure or if the incoming water temperature is below 120°F (49°C). When the High Temp option is selected, the dishwasher heats water in the main wash to approximately 155°F (68°C). To cancel the Delay option and to begin the selected cycle before the delay period is over, press and hold START/CANCEL pad for 3 seconds. When cycle and options are selected, LEDs of selected cycle and options are illuminated. The Max Dry option extends drying time by approximately 20 minutes. The Washing light comes on at the beginning of the cycle and remains on until the end of the main wash. The Heat Dry option in combination with rinse aid will enhance drying performance.
• Page 8: Operating instructions provide guidance on using the dishwasher effectively. The LEDs of selected cycle and options are illuminated, and the status window displays the remaining cycle time. To resume, press the START pad and close the dishwasher door immediately. Load the dishwasher and refer to the dish preparation section. Add detergent and check the filling of the detergent dispenser. Add rinse aid if needed, and a tone will sound indicating the dishwasher will begin running from the point of interruption. Select the desired cycle and option, with indicator lights glowing when selected. If the door is kept open too long or closed without pressing START, the running cycle will be canceled. To prevent children from changing settings, lock the dishwasher controls by pressing and holding the Dry pad for 3 seconds. You can cancel a cycle anytime by pressing and holding the START/CANCEL pad for 3 seconds.
• Page 9: Operating instructions Cycle and option chart Cycle and intended use Heavy wash is recommended for pots, pans, casseroles, and dinnerware having light to heavily soiled loads. Normal wash is recommended for lightly to heavily soiled loads. 1 hr wash is recommended for lightly soiled loads only. Energy saver is a cycle used to reduce dishwasher energy consumption. Scrape away large pieces of food, bones, pits, toothpicks, etc. The upper rack is designed for flexibility in loading a wide variety of items. Load glasses in the top rack only to avoid damage. Foods such as mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, and tomato-based products may cause discoloration if allowed to sit for a long period. Load items with open ends facing down for better cleaning and draining.
• Page 10: Operating instructions 10 place settings standard loading pattern Some models have a fold-down cup shelf or a cup shelf/stemware holder. They can be used to load two levels of cups, juice glasses, and other short items. Stagger items on upper level so that water can reach all inside surfaces. Fold up to load tall glasses. 12 place settings standard loading pattern The upper rack can be used to wash a wide assortment of items when you don’t have a full load. When the upper rack fills up with glasses and the lower rack is still empty, you don’t have to wait anymore for clean glasses. Stemware holder/cup shelf not available on all models. Place the clips of the cup shelf over the horizontal rack wires and push down to attach the cup shelf onto the second wire of the upper rack.
• Page 11: Loading the silverware basket. The lower rack is best for plates, saucers, bowls, and cookware. Large items should be placed along the edge so they do not block the spray arm rotation. For best results, place bowls, casseroles, and sauce pans with soiled surface facing down or toward the center. Load sharp items pointing down to avoid injury. Make sure tall items do not block spray arm rotation. Use suggested loading patterns to increase washability of the silverware. Do not mix silver and stainless to avoid damaging the silver finish. When covers are up, mix items in each section of the basket to avoid nesting. Water spray cannot reach nested items.
• Page 12: To add or remove items after the wash cycle starts, unlatch the door and wait a few seconds until wash action stops before opening. Add detergent just before starting the cycle and store it in a cool, dry location. The use of industrial grade detergent can damage the heating coil and other parts of the dishwasher. The amount of detergent to use depends on the water hardness, which is measured in grains per gallon. Using too little detergent can result in poor cleaning and hard water filming or spotting. Using too much detergent in soft water can cause etching to glassware. The detergent dispenser has two cups: a smaller one for the pre-wash and a larger one for the main wash. Use only fresh automatic dishwashing detergent to avoid oversudsing. When using detergent tabs, place one tab in the main wash cup and close it. For very hard water, a water softener is recommended to improve water quality and dishwashing performance.
• Page 13: Operating instructions Rinse aid greatly improves drying, reduces water spots, and lubricates wash arm bearing for proper rotation. Water pressure must provide between 20 and 120 psi. Low water pressure may occur when laundry or showers are in operation. A dispenser automatically releases a measured amount of rinse aid during the last rinse. Increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed by rotating the dial to a higher number if spotting and poor drying are problems. Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and drying results, entering at least 120°F (49°C). To check water temperature, hold a thermometer in the water stream. Before starting a cycle, run hot water to clear cool water from the pipe. Use only household grade automatic dishwasher detergents to avoid damage. Select the Normal Wash and High Temp options along with a rinse aid agent for improved drying performance.
• Page 14: Care and cleaning instructions are provided for the dishwasher. The spray arm varies by model. Allow the heating element to cool before cleaning the interior to avoid burns. Clean the outer door with warm soapy water and a dishcloth or sponge, then rinse with clean water. The inside of the dishwasher and filter are self-cleaning with normal use. Occasionally clean the overfill protector with a household cleaner containing vinegar or bleach. The glass trap is designed to collect debris and should be emptied regularly. To empty the glass trap, pull the handle up and out, remove debris, and slide it back into position. Use Frigidaire ReadyClean Dishwasher Cleaner tablets monthly for best results. Hard water may cause lime deposit buildup; refer to the Removing Spots and film section for cleaning instructions.
• Page 15: Care and cleaning Care of drain air gap If a drain air gap was installed for your built-in dishwasher, check to make sure it is clean so the dishwasher will drain properly. A dishwasher left in an unheated place should be protected from freezing. To disconnect service: Turn off electrical power to the dishwasher at the supply source by removing fuses or tripping circuit breaker. Shut off water supply. Freezing temperatures may cause water lines to rupture. To restore service: Direct water line discharge into a pan and open the valve to flush the line. Reconnect the water, drain, and electrical power supply. Fill both detergent cups and run dishwasher through a heavy wash cycle.
• Page 16: Troubleshooting Cups with a concave bottom will collect water. Load them at the far left and right of the upper rack so they will be held in a tilted position. Review this list before calling for service. It may save you both time and expense. Select the Normal Wash and High Temp option along with a Rinse Aid agent for improved drying performance. Choose another cycle for longer washing time. Containers, bowls, pots/pans, and any dishware with concave surfaces should be placed in the rack facing or angled down. Home water pressure may be too low-should be 20 to 120 pounds per square inch (psi). Check incoming water temperature. It should be about 120°F (49°C). For extremely hard water, it may be necessary to install a water softener. Use fresh detergent. Old detergent is ineffective. Check to verify that the glass trap is maintained and installed properly. Load with care and do not overload.
• Page 17: Using too much detergent in soft water causes damage that looks like a film but cannot be removed. Spilled rinse aid can cause foam and lead to overflowing. Adjust the amount of detergent based on the water hardness. Tea and coffee can stain cups; remove stains by hand washing in a bleach solution. Iron deposits in water can cause a yellow or brown film; a special filter can correct this problem. Detergent may be old; discard and use fresh detergent. Certain high acid foods can cause discoloration of stainless steel and plastics if allowed to sit for a long period. Mixing stainless steel and silver utensils can cause pitting of the stainless steel blades. Water left in the tub bottom after the cycle is complete is not normal; the dishwasher may not be draining properly. Normal sounds include water fill, water spray, draining, and motor sounds.
• Page 18: Troubleshooting If the dishwasher door is opened while the unit is running, the START/CANCEL pad must be pressed and the door shut immediately to return the unit to the selected cycle. Check to see if the circuit breaker is tripped or if a fuse is blown. Make sure the water supply is turned on. Is the dishwasher set for Delay Option? Assure the water supply is turned on for the dishwasher to fill. If the unit is hooked up to a food waste disposer, make sure the disposer is empty. Soiled dishes left in the dishwasher too long can create an odor. Washing large amounts of dishware with tomato-based soil can cause a pink/orange appearance on the tub interior. Pre-rinsing will reduce the chance of staining.
