BEFORE YOU CALL Dishwasher Won't Run • Check to see if circuit breaker is tripped or if a fuse is blown. • Make sure water supply is turned on. • Check to see if cycle is set correctly. (See Operating Instructions). • Is dishwasher set for Delay Start Option? • Make sure door is closed and latched. • Make sure START/PAUSE pad is pressed after cycle selection. Dishwasher Won't Fill • Assure the water supply is turned on. • Check that the overfill protector moves up and down freely. (See Overfill Protector section). Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly • If unit is hooked up to a food waste disposer, make sure the disposer is empty. • Assure the knockout plug has been removed from inside the food waste disposer inlet. • Assure the drain hose isn't kinked. • Make sure cycle is complete, not in a pause. • Assure the glass trap is maintained and installed properly assuring no clogs (See Care and Cleaning). Dishwasher has an Odor • Soiled dishes left in dishwasher too long can create an odor. Use Rinse Only cycle. • There will be a "new" smell when first installed. This is normal. • Check to see if unit is draining properly. (See Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly). Stains on Tub Interior • Washing large amounts of dishware with tomato based soil can cause a pink/orange appearance. This will not affect performance and will gradually fade over time. Prerinsing or using the Rinse Only cycle will reduce the chance of staining. Using no heat dry option will lessen staining. Opening the door during cycle • If the dishwasher door is opened while the unit is running, the START/PAUSE 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.

(See Glassware/ Flatware Spotted or Cloudy section). To remove buildup, and film, clean using the following instructions: 1. Load clean dishes and glasses in normal manner. Do not load any metal utensils or silverware. 2. Do not add detergent. 3. Select the NORMAL CLEAN cycle. Close the door. Press START/PAUSE pad. 4.
