How your dishwasher
cleans
Your dishwasher cleans by spraying
a mixture of hot water and detergent
through the spray arms against soiled
surfaces. First, 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.
The number of water fills varies with the
cycle being used.
Getting started
To run your dishwasher, follow these basic
steps:
1. Load Dishwasher (see loading
instructions).
2. Add detergent to the dispenser (see
Filling the detergent dispenser).
3. Add Rinse Aid to the dispenser,
if needed (see Using the rinse aid
dispenser).
4. Run hot water faucet nearest
dishwasher until water is hot. Turn
water off.
5. Select desired cycles (see Cycle
selection).
6. Select desired options (see Option
selection).
7. To start, press START pad and close
door immediately.
NOTE
Racks and Features in your dishwasher
model may vary in appearance from
illustrations in this manual.

Features
Energy use
The yellow energy guide label that came on
your unit tells how much energy it would
use in one year and how it compares to
others that are available. The energy is
based on the NORMAL cycle response
to tests that apply soils and dishware that
simulate the average use. Eight place
settings of dishware and some serving
pieces are used during the test. The total
energy is based on running the average
number of cycles per year, applying typical
soil levels to the dishware and half the time,
selecting the option of using extra energy
to more fully dry the dishware. Actual
energy and water use will depend upon the
cycle and options you select.
This unit uses an in-line water heating
element that is located under the
tub. There is no exposed heater that
plasticware might come in contact with
or that is accessible to touch. The heat is
taken to the dishware through the heated
water. For this reason, plastic dishware
may be placed where it best fits in either
the top or bottom rack. Temperatures are
uniform throughout the dishwasher.
If the user prefers to save energy and dry
the dishes by hand they select the AIR
DRY option.
If you prefer to spend slightly
more energy to get the dishes drier then
turn the AIR DRY option off and select
one of the heated dry options. In response
the wash and rinse temperatures in the
cycle will be increased.
This will help the cleaning and it will also
get the dishwasher hotter. When the final
drain removes all standing water, the extra
heat stored in the dishware will act to
evaporate the remaining water.
Your unit provides a selection of cycles. In
general, the more water used by a cycle
and the hotter the temperatures it reaches
the more energy that it uses. Several
cycles, such as the NORMAL cycle will
change their response based on soil level,
NOTE
For the first cycle after power is applied
(when first installed or after a power
failure) the sensor will not be calibrated
and so cannot determine the soil load.
Therefore, your unit will provide a
response suitable for heavy soils on the
first run after power is restored. Energy
use during this first run may be higher
than would be typical.
Your unit has DishSense
TM
Technology
that is used to understand how heavily
soiled the dish load is so the cycle can be
automatically adjusted to the appropriate
response. This helps to prevent energy
waste. The sensor is calibrated at the
end of each cycle. This will assure that
whatever is loaded will be cleaned.
DishSense
TM
technology
NOTE
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 and option. This must
happen within 10 minutes for the unit to
continue the cycle.

The NORMAL cycle is good for all around
use. Other cycles are focused toward
special use like the HEAVY cycle that is
designed for heavily solid cookware.

Cycles
Options
Operation
Cycle times are approximate and vary by
options selected. Hot water is necessary
to activate dishwasher detergent and melt
fatty food soils.
An automatic sensor checks the water
temperature for the main wash of each
cycle. When HI TEMP is selected,
the sensor checks for an even higher
temperature. Run hot water in a faucet
nearest the dishwasher until water is hot
before starting.
The Smart Sensor checks the soil level on
your dishes in the AUTO, NORMAL and
ECO cycles. Cycle time and water usage
will vary based on the amount of soil on
the dishes.
Press the START button to turn ON the
unit. Then, press a cycle pad to select
your cycle. The LED light above the
selection will illuminate when selected. The
estimated cycle time will also appear in the

The Smart Sensor technology will
determine the type of cycle required to
clean the dishes and will clean more
efficiently every time. When a partial load
of lightly soiled dishes are placed in the
unit, a wash cycle similar to a short wash
will automatically be performed. When
a full load of heavily solid dishes are
placed in the unit, a HEAVY wash cycle
will automatically be performed. Water
usage ranges from approximately 3.0
to 7.4 gallons. Wash time ranges from
approximately 118 to 200 mins.

HI TEMP
When HI TEMP option is selected, the
dishwasher heats water in the main wash
to approximately 140° F (60°C).
This increase in water temperature helps
dishwasher detergent remove food, grease
and soil from dishes more effectively and
aids in drying. HI TEMP option can only
be used with AUTO, HEAVY, NORMAL
and UPPER cycles.
Controls and Settings
SANITIZE
To sanitize your dishes and glassware,
select the SANITIZE option. This option
heats the water temperature in the final
rinse to 157°F (69.4°C) and maintains that
temperature for 7 minutes. SANITIZE
is available in AUTO, HEAVY, and
NORMAL cycles. Only these sanitization
cycles have been designed to meet NSF
requirements.
The cycle time will be extended until the
proper water temperature is reached.
Washing action will continue during the
water heating delay. For best results, the
incoming water temperature should be at
least 120°F (49°C).
If the SANITIZE option is selected, the
pad illuminates with a blue light. The
sanitization criteria may not be satisfied
if there is an interruption of the cycle, a
power failure occurs, or if incoming water
temperature is below 120°F (49°C).
The SANITIZE pad will flash at the end
of the cycle if the NSF requirements for
sanitization are not reached.
AIR DRY
If the AIR DRY option is selected, the unit
will not energize the heating element. This
will reduce energy consumption, but will
reduce drying performance. Items in the
dish load may not be dry at the end of the
cycle.
MAX DRY
MAX DRY is available on AUTO, HEAVY,
NORMAL, UPPER and STEMWARE
cycles The cycle time will increase when
MAX DRY option is selected.

Filing the detergent dispenser
The detergent dispenser has one covered
cup. The covered cup opens automatically
to release detergent.
To add detergent:
1. Press the dispenser cover latch to
open the main wash detergent cup.
2. Add the recommended amount of
detergent to the main wash cup.
3. Slide the main wash cover back over
the main wash cup to close.
CAUTION
The use of industrial grade detergent can
damage parts of the dishwasher leading
to damage to the unit and surrounding
property. Use only household grade
automatic dishwasher detergent.
NOTE
Hard water may cause lime deposit
buildup on the interior of the dishwasher.
For cleaning instructions see “Removing
Spots and Film” section.
NOTE
Detergent tablets and All-In-One packs
may not dissolve completely if used
with the FAST cycles. If one of these
products are used, place the tab or pack
directly on the bottom of the tub in a
corner before starting the dishwasher,
rather than placing these products in the
dispenser.
NOTE
To achieve the best results from your dish-
washer, visit www.dishwashingexpert.com
for general tips regarding the performance
and operation of your dishwasher.
How much detergent to use
The amount of detergent to use depends
on the water hardness. Water hardness 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 some glassware which
is surface damage that appears like a film
but cannot be wiped off. Your local water
company, water softener company or
county extension agent can tell you the
water hardness in your area.

NOTE
For very hard water, detergent alone may not be enough. A water softener is
recommended to improve water quality and dishwashing performance. Try adding more
detergent at the beginning of the main wash portion of the cycle. As a rule, use
1 teaspoon for each grain above 12. Unlatch the door, open slowly add detergent
to the bottom of the tub. Close the door to latch and the dishwasher will continue
through the cycle.
Filling the rinse aid dispenser
Rinse aid greatly improves drying, reduces
water spots, filming, and lubricates wash
arm bearing for proper rotation. With
it water “sheets” off dishes rather than
forming water droplets that cling and leave
spots.
A dispenser, located next to the detergent
cup, automatically releases a measured
amount of rinse aid during the last
rinse. If spotting and poor drying are
problems, increase the amount of rinse aid
dispensed. The indicator will be dark when
full and the status window will show

To add liquid rinse aid:
1. Lift up the rinse aid cover to open.
2. Fill the rinse aid dispenser with liquid
rinse aid until the liquid reaches the
indicated fill level. DO NOT overfill.
3. Press the rinse aid cover down firmly
to close.

Not selecting the AIR DRY option in
combination with rinse aid will enhance
drying performance. The energy required
to use the AIR DRY option saves
pennies per cycle. You may choose to
select the AIR DRY option; however you
will have items in your dish load that will
not be completely dry at the end of the
cycle.

running water and replace. It may be
necessary to use a sponge or bottle
brush to remove excess food residue.
