ADD DETERGENT  

Premeasured Detergents  

High-quality premeasured tablets and packs are recommended for improved  

performance.  

Step 4. Select a Cycle and Options if Desired  

Efficient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy, just as driving a car slower  

saves on gas. Typical cycle time is approximately 2¹/₂ hours, but can take less or more  

time to complete depending on selections.  

Quality tablets and packs have been proven better than powder, liquid, or gel  

detergents at reducing filming on dishes. Using tablets and packs over time will  

start to reduce or eliminate white film. They are suitable for all water hardness and  

soil levels. Also, by using a rinse aid, you can minimize repeat buildup of white film  

(not all packs and tablets contain rinse aid). Always place premeasured detergents  

in main compartment and close lid.  

You can customize your cycles by selecting the options desired. If you change your mind,  

select the option again to turn off the option. Not all options are available for every cycle. If  

an invalid option is selected for a given cycle, the lights will flash. Adding options may  

increase the cycle time.  

NOTE: Cycles and Options vary by model; see online Cycle and Options Guide for more  

information.  

NOTE: Follow instructions on the package when using other dishwasher detergent types. See the complete Owner’s  

Manual for more details about powders, liquids, and gels.  

Step 5. Start or Resume a Cycle  

IMPORTANT: If anyone opens the door (such as for adding a dish, even during the Delay  

Hours option), the Start/Resume button must be selected each time.  

�

�

Use automatic dishwasher detergent only. Add detergent just before starting a cycle.  

Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning. Store tightly closed detergent container in a cool,  

dry place.  

�

If the Start/Resume button is located on top of door, push the door firmly closed within  

4 seconds of selecting Start/Resume. If door is not closed within 4 seconds, the  

Start/Resume button LED will flash, an audible tone will be heard, and cycle will not  

start.  

If the Start/Resume button is located on front of door, push door firmly closed. The  

door latches automatically. Select the wash cycle, options, and then Start/Resume.  

FILTRATION SYSTEM  

IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to dishwasher, do not operate your  

dishwasher without filters properly installed. Be sure lower filter is securely  

in place and upper filter assembly is locked into place. If upper assembly  

turns freely, it is not locked into place.  

A

�

NOTE: Run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the water is hot. Turn off  

water.  

Your dishwasher has the latest technology in dishwasher filtration. This  

filtration system minimizes sound and optimizes water and superior  

cleaning. The filter system consists of two parts: an upper filter assembly  

and lower filter.  

NOTE: Select Start/Resume every time you add a dish.

The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener. However, the setting is defaulted to  

OFF. No actions are needed if not being used. If it is desired, refer to the Owner’s  

Manual for instructions on how to activate the water softener.  

When using the Sanitized Rinse cycle, the final rinse water is heated to 155°F (68.3°C), eliminating 99.999% of food soil  

bacteria. This meets national requirements for household sanitization.  

Key Usage Tips  

NOTE: Racks vary by model.  

ADD RINSE AID  

�

Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid for good drying performance. Without rinse aid, your dishes and  

dishwasher interior will have excessive moisture. The heated drying option will not perform as well without rinse aid.  

�

Rinse aid keeps water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. It also improves drying by allowing  

water to drain off dishes after final rinse. Rinse aid does not adhere to dishware and, when used, it is dispensed  

during each cycle.  

�

�

�

Check the rinse aid indicator with the door down  

(varies by model). Add rinse aid when indicator drops  

to “Add” level.  

Lower Rack  

Middle Rack  

Third Level Dedicated Wash  

PREPARE AND LOAD THE DISHWASHER  

Add rinse aid to hinged lid-style dispenser by twisting the dispenser cap 1/4 turn  

clockwise to open and lift off. Pour rinse aid into the opening until the indicator  

level is at “Full”. Replace the dispenser cap and turn to “Lock”. Make sure cap is  

fully locked.  

IMPORTANT: Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks, and other hard items from dishes.  

Remove labels from containers before washing.  

�

�

Make sure when the dishwasher door is closed that no items are blocking the  

detergent dispenser.  

Items should be loaded with soiled surfaces facing down and inward toward the  

spray, as shown in the graphics above. This will improve cleaning and drying results.  

Angle dirtiest dish surfaces downward, allowing space for water to flow up through  

rack and between dishes.  

To add rinse aid to sliding lid-style dispenser, open the rinse dispenser lid by gently  

pushing in the center of the lid with your thumb and pulling up on the edge. Pour  

rinse aid into the opening until the dispenser is full. Then, close the dispenser by  

pushing down gently on the lid.  

�

�

�

�

Avoid overlapping items like bowls or plates that may trap food.  

Place plastics, small plates, and glasses in upper rack.  

Wash only items marked “dishwasher safe.”  

To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation, load dishes so they do not  

touch one another. Make sure lightweight load items are secured in racks.  

Use slots in the covers (if provided) and suggested loading patterns to keep your  

silverware separated for optimum wash.  

If your silverware does not fit into the designated slots, lift and  

slide covers off to remove them and mix silverware types to  

keep them separated.  

If you are experiencing poor drying performance, you may want to try a higher setting.  

Turn the arrow adjuster to a higher number to increase the amount of rinse aid.  

NOTE: For most water conditions, the factory setting will give good results.  

�

�

�

When loading silverware, always place sharp items pointing  

down and avoid “nesting”, as shown.  

FOLLOW THE PROGRESS OF YOUR DISHWASHER  

The Clean indicator glows when a cycle is finished.  

NOTE: Silverware basket may vary by model.  

RECOMMENDED DETERGENT  

The United States and Canada have passed a restriction limiting the amount of phosphorus (phosphates) in household  

dishwasher detergents. Major manufacturers have reformulated their dishwasher detergent for this change in detergents  

as another step in eco-conscious awareness. With these recent changes, it is recommended to use tablets and packs for  

convenience and improved performance.  

NOTE: Not all cycles, settings or options are available with all models.
