START-UP

Before using your dishwasher, remove all packaging materials. Read this entire Consumer Reference Guide, as well as the User Instructions. You will find important safety information and useful operating tips.

Using Your Dishwasher

For all models:

1. Rinse aid is essential for good drying. Be sure to fill the dispenser before you use your new dishwasher. Each filling will last about 1 to 3 months depending on your usage.

1. Scrape large food soil and hard items (toothpicks or bones) from dishes. You do not need to prerinse your dishes.

2. Properly load the dishwasher. (See "Loading.") Load dishes with space in between so water will reach the soiled surfaces. Make sure nothing keeps the spray arm(s) from spinning freely.

1. Add detergent. Always use a high-quality brand detergent. (See "Dishwasher Use" in the User Instructions.)

1. Run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the water is hot. Turn off water.

1. Press the desired cycle and option selections on the control panel. (See "Cycles and Options.")
2. Press START/RESUME. Or press START/RESUME to repeat the same cycle and options as in the previous cycle. The selected cycle and option lights will glow.

IMPORTANT (For model KUDU03ST):

■ When the cycle starts, you will see a rotating pattern of lights in the display window indicating that the dishwasher is operating. This pattern will continue for up to 6 minutes while the multiple sensors check the incoming water temperature, rinse aid usage and soil level on dishes and cookware. The sensors then determine the ideal wash for your dish load.

After sensing is complete, the display will show the number of minutes left in the cycle and the cycle countdown will begin.

■ The cycle countdown pauses while the dishwasher heats the water to a set temperature. (See "Cycle Selections.")
8. Push door firmly closed within 3 seconds of pressing Start/Resume.

You can customize your cycles by pressing the options desired. If you change your mind, press the option again to turn off the option. Select a different option if desired.

You can change an option anytime before the selected option begins. For example, you can press HEAT DRY anytime before drying begins.

Press START/RESUME to repeat the same cycle and options as in the previous wash cycle.

NOTE: If the last cycle you completed was a rinse cycle, when you press Start/Resume, the dishwasher runs the last full wash cycle and options.

PROSCRUB® wash option

Select this option to activate the PROSCRUB ^® spray jets and provide intensified water spray to the back of the lower level rack. The PROSCRUB ^® wash option provides a concentrated wash action to pans, casseroles, etc. with tough food soil.

This option may add heat and wash time to the cycle.

NOTE: PROSCRUB® is an option with the Heavy Duty and Normal wash cycles.

IMPORTANT:

• Load pans, casserole dishes, etc. facing the PROSCRUB ^ spray jets in the back of the lower level rack. Tip items toward the rear of the dish rack to maximize coverage. Only one row of items may face the PROSCRUB ^ spray jets. Stacking, overlapping, or nesting items will keep the PROSCRUB ^ spray jets from reaching all of the surfaces.
  ■ Turn the PROSCRUB ^® wash option off if not loading items for this option.

Hi-Temp Scrub

Select this option to heat the water during parts of the cycle, and add a rinse. Higher water temperatures and an extra rinse help clean tough soils. Hi-Temp Scrub, with the Heavy Duty cycle, heats the water in the main wash and the prewash. Hi-Temp Scrub, with the Normal cycle, raises the water temperature in the main wash.

This option adds heat, water, and wash time to a cycle.

NOTE: Hi-Temp Scrub is an option with the Heavy Duty and Normal cycles.

Sani Rinse

Select this option to raise the water temperature in the final rinse to approximately 155°F (68°C). The Sani Rinse option adds heat and time to the cycle. This high temperature rinse sanitizes your dishes and glassware in accordance with NSF/ANSI Standard 184 for Residential Dishwashers. Certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments.

NOTE: The Heavy Duty cycle automatically uses this option. Sani Rinse is an option with the Normal cycle. Only these sanitization cycles have been designed to meet the NSF/ANSI requirements.

Heat Dry

The Heat Dry option in combination with rinse aid will give you excellent drying results. The energy to use Heat Dry costs pennies per cycle. Heat Dry is on when the light is lit on the Heat Dry button. Be sure to load plastic items in the upper rack to avoid damage.

You may turn off the Heat Dry option by pressing HEAT DRY so that the light goes off. However, you will have items in your dish load that will not be dry at the end of the cycle.

NOTE: The Heat Dry option is used in all cycles except Rinse Only.
