OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  NOTE Your dishwasher uses a DishSenseTM Technology to understand how much food is on the dishes and then adjusts the cycle accordingly. CAUTION Property Damage Hazard Before starting dishwasher be sure that the water is connected and turned on. Failure to do so may cause damage to the pump seal and result in water leakage. Wash Cycle Selections 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 will check the incoming water temperature and, if it is not hot enough, the cycle will be lengthened for automatic water heating in the main wash and final rinse of all cycles. This happens even when HI-TEMP WASH option has not be selected. When HI-TEMP WASH is selected, an even higher temperature will be reached to handle heavier soil loads. Recommended Cycle for typical use: The Normal cycle with its factory default options of normal temperature and heated dry together provide the best all around performance. This cycle selection is recommended for everyday use and is suitable for a large range of both dish load sizes and food quantities remaining on those dishes. Option Selections Wash Pressure The programmed cycles default to the "surge" pressure option which varies the pressure optimally for the cycle's intended normal use. If, for some special circumstance, either a very low "spray" or very high "scour" pressure is desired that may be selected. Due to wash cycle optimization, some pressure options are not selectable in all wash cycle. Wash Temp The programmed cycles default to the "normal" temperature option, to choose HI-TEMP or SANITIZE press WASH TEMP pad again. Hi-Temp Wash Option HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, by pressing the WASH TEMP pad, the dishwasher heats water in the main wash to approximately 140oF (60oC). This increase in water temperature helps dishwasher detergent remove food grease and soil from dishes more effectively and aids in drying. 5
