Operating Instructions 4300 Series 4500 Series Appearance may vary from your model. Very Important Information-Read Before Operating Your Dishwasher! Normal Operating Sounds This dishwasher does not sound like most dishwashers-IT'S QUIETER. Your Precision Direct Wash System® dishwasher uses energy efficient motors for the wash and drain portions of the cycle you select. Each cycle has a series of water fills and drains for washing and rinsing dishes. As each cycle begins, you may-or may not-hear the drain motor. The next sound you will hear is the splashing water as it enters the tub. Then the lower arm rotates and circulates water. This is followed by a pause and a slightly different sound as the upper arms spray water. If you listen closely, you will hear the change in sound as the wash action switches from one arm to the other. PLEASE BE ADVISED: If you compare this dishwasher to previous models, you may be surprised at what you DON'T hear! Getting Started 1. Load dishwasher (See Preparing and Loading Dishes). 2. Add detergent (See Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents). 3. Add rinse aid (See Rinse Aid). 4. Select desired CYCLE (See Cycle Chart). The indicator light above the pad will glow when selected. 5. Select desired OPTIONS (See Energy Options). The indicator light above the pad will glow when selected. 6. Run hot water faucet nearest dishwasher until water is hot. Turn water off. 7. To start, press START/CANCEL pad. 8. Close door to latch. Note: The dishwasher is programmed to remember your last cycle so you do not have to reset each time. To start the dishwasher using the same cycle and options selected on the previous wash, just press the START/CANCEL pad. Wash Cycle Selections Note: 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 timer will be delayed for automatic water heating in the main wash of all cycles. This happens even when HI-TEMP WASH option has not been selected. When HI-TEMP WASH is selected, an even higher temperature will be guaranteed to handle heavier soil loads. 4
