■ When loading silverware, always place sharp items pointing down and avoid "nesting" as shown. STEP 3 Select a Cycle (cycles vary by model) NOTE: Heavier cycles and options affect cycle length. STEP 2 Add Detergent NOTE: If you do not plan to run a wash cycle soon, run a rinse cycle. Do not use detergent. ■ Use automatic dishwashing detergent only. Add powder, liquid or tablet detergent just before starting a cycle. ■ Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning. Store tightly closed detergent container in a cool, dry place. A B CD A. Cover B. Main Wash section C. Cover latch D. Pre-Wash section ■ The amount of detergent to use depends on: How much soil remains on the items - Heavily soiled loads require more detergent. The hardness of the water - If you use too little in hard water, dishes won't be clean. If you use too much in soft water, glassware will etch. Soft to Medium Water (0-6 grains per U.S. gallon) [typical water softener water and some city water] Medium to Hard Water (7-12 grains per U.S. gallon) [well water and some city water] ■ Depending on your water hardness, fill the Main Wash section of the dispenser as shown. Fill the Pre-Wash section to the level shown, if needed. NOTE: Fill amounts shown are for standard powdered detergent. Follow instructions on the package when using other dishwasher detergent. Harder Water Softer Water Main Wash Pre-Wash Hard Water/ Heavy Soil Softer Water/ Lighter Soil 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 heat dry option will not perform as well without rinse aid. ■ Rinse aid keeps water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. They also improve drying by allowing water to drain off of the dishes during the final rinse. ■ Rinse aid helps to reduce excess moisture on the dish racks and interior of your dishwasher. ■ Check the center of the fill indicator cap. Clear means it needs filling. Pots and Pans - Use for heavily soiled, hard-to-clean items. Heavy Wash - Use for heavy food soil. Normal - Use for normal food soil. The energy usage label is based on this cycle. Light - Use for prerinsed or lightly soiled loads. Rinse Only - (no options apply to this cycle) Do not use detergent. A rinse keeps food from drying on your dishes and reduces odor buildup in your dishwasher until you are ready to wash a full load. Select Options (options vary by model) ■ A high temperature option boosts the water temperature high enough to enhance cleaning. ■ A delayed start option offers the choice to start the dishwasher automatically at a later time. ■ A heated dry option should be used for best drying of dishes. ■ A no heat dry option can be used to save energy. ■ A locked option can be used to avoid unintended use of your dishwasher. Press and hold Heated Dry for 5 seconds. Locked glows. If you press any pad while your dishwasher is locked, the light flashes 3 times. STEP 4 Start, Resume or Cancel a Cycle ■ Run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the water is hot. Turn off water. ■ Push door firmly closed. The door latches automatically. Select the wash cycle and options desired OR press START/RESUME to repeat the same cycle and options as in the previous wash cycle. ■ You can add an item anytime before the main wash starts. Open the door slowly and add the item. Close the door firmly. Press START/RESUME. ■ You may cancel a cycle anytime by pressing Cancel/Drain. 3
