Step 4. Select a Cycle and Options if Desired  

Premeasured Detergents  

High-quality premeasured tablets and packs are recommended for  

improved performance.  

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.  

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.  

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.  

� 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.  

� 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 front of door, push door firmly  

closed. The door latches automatically. Select the wash cycle, options, and  

then Start/Resume.  

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

Turn off water.  

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

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  

Water Hardness and Salt Reservoir  

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 Owners Manual for instructions on how to activate the water softener.

Key Usage Tips  

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.  

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.  

Upper Rack  

Lower Rack  

PREPARE AND LOAD THE DISHWASHER  

� Check the rinse aid indicator with the door  

down (varies by model). Add rinse aid when  

indicator drops to “Add” level.  

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.  

� 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.  

� 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.  

� 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.  

� 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.  

� 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.  

� When loading silverware, always place sharp items  

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.  

pointing down and avoid "nesting," as shown.  

NOTE: Silverware basket may vary by model.  

FOLLOW THE PROGRESS OF YOUR DISHWASHER  

The Clean indicator glows when a cycle is finished.  

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.
