USING THE DISHWASHER

Check the Water Temperature The entering water should be at least 120°F (49°C) and not more than 150°F (66°C) for effective cleaning and to prevent dish damage. Check the water temperature with a candy or meat thermometer. Turn on the hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher, place the thermometer in a glass and let the water run continuously into the glass until the temperature stops rising. Use a Rinse Agent Rinse agents, such as Finish

Rinse Aid are designed for great drying action and to protect against spots and film build-up on your dishes, glasses, flatware, cookware, and plastic. Filling the Rinse Agent Dispenser The rinse agent dispenser holds 3.5 oz. (104 ml) of rinse agent. Under normal conditions, this will last approximately one month.

Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.

Open the rinse agent dispenser door.

Slowly add rinse agent until the cup is full. You may need to pause several times to allow rinse aid to settle. NOTE: Indicator window does not light up.

Clean up any spilled rinse agent with a damp cloth to prevent foam from forming inside the dishwasher.

Close the rinse agent dispenser door. Rinse Aid Setting The amount of rinse agent released into the final wash can be adjusted. If water drops or hard water spots remain on dishes after the dry cycle, increase the setting. To adjust the setting Open the Rinse Agent dispenser door; then turn the adjuster clockwise to increase the amount of rinse agent, counterclockwise to reduce the amount of rinse agent.

USING THE DISHWASHER

Detergent Dispenser The detergent dispenser is located in the center of the dishwasher door. It has two compartments. The main wash compartment is found inside the detergent dispenser. To open, press the button on the side of the dispenser. The pre-wash compartment is on the lid of the detergent dispenser. Use the pre-wash compartment only when your water is extremely hard or when you have a heavy soiled load. The pre-wash compartment is not used when tablet or packet detergents are used. NOTE: Do not load large items in the lower rack where they may block the wash jets from rinsing out the detergent dispenser. You may use tablet, packet, powder, liquid or gel automatic dishwasher detergent. Make sure you use only detergents specifically labeled for use in automatic dishwashers. Never use liquid hand dish detergent in an automatic dishwasher. Sudsing and poor wash performance will result with the use of improper detergents. Detergents should be stored in a dry location and in their original container to prevent loss of effectiveness. Place detergent in the cup just prior to starting the dishwasher and then close the cover. The cover will open during the wash cycle. Filling the Detergent Dispenser Café recommends using detergent in tablet or packet form. Independent testing has shown this form of detergent is very effective in the dishwasher. Finish

is an example of this type of detergent. Simply put a tablet or packet into the main wash compartment and close the detergent cup cover. Please notice that the tablet or packet must be placed in the main wash compartment of the detergent cup. If the tablet or packet is placed in the prewash compartment or tossed in the bottom of the dishwasher, the detergent will be flushed down the drain in a very short period of time and will thus be wasted. Wash performance will be very poor as a result. If you choose to use detergent in powder, liquid or gel form, the amount of detergent you use will be determined by the hardness of your water, the temperature of your water, and the food soil load inside the dishwasher. Contact your water company to get information about the hardness of the water in your area. Water hardness is measured in grains per gallon. Use this information and the table above to determine the amount of detergent to use. You may purchase a hard water test strip from Café. Visit cafeappliances.com/parts for WD01X10295. In Canada, visit cafeappliances.ca/parts. Use the table as a starting point and then adjust the amount of detergent you use. Use just enough to get good wash performance. Using just the right amount of detergent will provide great wash performance without wasting detergent or etching glassware. Using too much detergent with very soft and/or very hot water may cause a condition called etching on your glassware. Etching is a permanent cloudiness in your glassware. This condition is irreversible. However, using too little detergent will cause poor wash performance.

DO NOT USE HAND DISH DETERGENT

NOTE: Using a detergent that is not specifically designed for dishwashers will cause the dishwasher to fill with suds. During operation, these suds will spill out of the dishwasher vents, covering the kitchen floor and making the floor wet. Because so many detergent containers look alike, store the dishwasher detergent in a separate space from all other cleaners. Show anyone who may use the dishwasher the correct detergent and where it is stored. While there will be no lasting damage to the dishwasher, your dishes will not get clean using a dishwashing detergent that is not formulated for automatic dishwashers.

Loading For best dishwashing results, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of racks and silverware baskets may vary from your model. Sports bottle held in place over a Bottle Jets clipBaby bottle held in place under a Bottle Jets clip Clip NozzleBottle Jets Upper Rack The upper rack is primarily for glasses, cups, and saucers. For best wash performance, tilt cup and glass openings toward the center of the rack. Other items such as pots, pans, and plates may be placed in the upper rack. This is also a secure place for dishwasher-safe plastic items. The upper rack can be used for odd sized utensils. Sauce pans, mixing bowls, and other similarly shaped items should be placed face down for best wash performance. Ensure small plastic items are secure so that they cannot fall on the heater at the bottom of the dishwasher, potentially damaging the item. Some models are equipped with a hidden heater, so dishwasher safe plastic items can be placed in the lower rack. IMPORTANT: Ensure items in the upper rack do not interfere with the 3rd Rack (on some models) when loading and unloading. IMPORTANT: Ensure that items do not protrude through the bottom of the rack or silverware basket where they will block the rotation of the middle spray arm. This could result in noise during operation and/or poor wash performance. The Bottle Jets system (on some models) is the ideal location to position baby bottles, tall sports bottles, or other tall items with narrow openings. The Bottle Jets clips hold bottles with small openings in place so water jets are directed inside the bottles to clean hard to reach areas. Clips can be installed or removed by simply slipping the clip opening over the top of the nozzle.14 49-4000042 Rev 3

USING THE DISHWASHER

Loading The upper rack allows 2” of adjustment up or down to accommodate large items. The upper rack may be lowered by pushing the long flaps on each side of the rack. This will allow you to lower the rack (see fig. Upper Rack). To raise the rack, lift up on the rack until the rack locks in place. Push Upper Rack A loaded upper rack may be heavier than anticipated. To prevent minor injury or damage to the contents, do not raise or lower the upper rack after the rack is loaded. CAUTION For best dishwashing results, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of racks and silverware baskets may vary from your model. 8 Place Settings - Upper Rack Models - CDT706, CDT800, CDT805, CDT845, CDT855, CDT866 and CDT875 Series To add flexibility in loading, the stem safe shelf (on some models) may be placed in the up or down position or unfolded and placed in the lower unfolded position. The shelf may also be used to secure stemware such as wine glasses. Because these stemware items come in various sizes, slowly push the rack in to ensure the items do not bump into the edges of the dishwasher, which may cause damage to the items. Place the slots in the utility shelf clips over the vertical rack wires and push down to attach utility shelf onto second wire of rack The fold down tines (on some models) provide flexibility for extra-large and hard-to-fit items. The tine rows can be adjusted to a vertical or lay-down position. Model - CDT836 Series49-4000042 Rev 3 15

Loading Lower Rack The lower rack is best used for plates, saucers and cookware items. Large items, such as broiler pans and baking racks should be placed along the sides of the rack. If necessary, oversized glasses and mugs can be placed in the lower rack to maximize loading flexibility. Plates, saucers and similar items should be placed between the tines in the direction that allows the item to remain secure in the rack. NOTE: Do not load large items in the lower rack where they may block the wash jets from rinsing out the detergent dispenser. The lower rack fold down tines (on some models) can be adjusted to different upright angles or placed flat to provide flexibility for hard-to-fit or extra-large items. The reversible tine blocks (on some models) are designed to allow greater flexibility in loading dishes. The direction of the tine blocks can be changed to match your preferred loading direction as shown in Figure A or Figure B: To adjust the tine block direction, remove the clips securing the tine blocks to the racks by pulling up on the tab, then gently flex the retaining wire from the center to unseat the tine block from the lower rack. The tine block may be turned in the opposite direction to reverse loading direction. Secure the tine block to the rack using the same process and be sure to snap the clips back in place. To change the direction of the fold down tines, lower the tines, then pull away from the bar clips that secure the tines to the rack and remove. Reverse the direction of the tines, orienting the handle on the opposite side of the rack. Reattach the tines to the bar clips by pushing the tines back until they click in place. The indexer will also need to be switched to the opposite side of the dishwasher. To remove the indexer, simply slide it the in the direction labeled “unlock.” Then, align the indexer with the rack on the other side and slide in the direction that says “lock” in order to reattach the indexer to the rack. IMPORTANT: It is important to ensure that items do not protrude through the bottom of the rack or the silverware basket where they will block the rotation of the lower spray arm. Also, ensure that large plates, pots, or tall items don’t hit the mid spray arm. This could result in noise during operation and/or poor wash performance. For best dishwashing results, follow these loading guidelines.

When loading, distribute items evenly in the basket. The silverware baskets may also be used for small items, such as measuring spoons, baby bottle nipples, plastic lids, or corn cob holders. The silverware basket covers can be closed to contain small items. IMPORTANT: Do not load large or tall utensils where they may block the detergent dispenser, mid spray arm, or become trapped between the door and the gasket when the door is closed. Deep Clean Silverware Jets (on some models) Deep Clean Silverware Jets target stubborn, stuck-on food and help separate nested spoons and forks to keep your silverware spotless no matter how you load the silverware. For optimal silverware cleaning, the use of silverware basket lids is always recommended. For models with the third rack, the Deep Clean Silverware Jets can also be used to clean mixing bowls and other cookware. Do not remove Deep Clean Silverware Jet spray assembly from the dishwasher rack. Silverware/flatware is loaded using the silverware basket lids. This ensures great wash performance of the silverware. Loading in this manner prevents nesting and makes sure all items are washed uniformly.

Stainless Steel Inner Door and Tub The stainless steel used to make the dishwasher tub and inner door provides the highest reliability available in a Café dishwasher. If the dishwasher tub or inner door should be scratched or dented during normal use, they will not rust or corrode. These surface blemishes will not affect their function or durability. Exterior Door Panel Before cleaning the front panel, make sure you know what type of panel you have. Refer to the last two letters of your model number. You can locate your model number on the left-hand tub wall just inside the door. If your model number ends with D1 or W2 then you have a painted door panel. If your model number ends with S1 or SS, then you have a stainless steel door panel. Follow the instructions below for cleaning the door panel for your specific model. Painted Door Panel (model numbers ending in D1–Matte Black or W2–Matte White) Use a clean, soft, lightly dampened cloth, then dry thoroughly. Stainless Steel Door Panel (model numbers ending in S1 or SS) For cleaning rust and tarnish, cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers Friend Soft Cleanser™ will remove rust, tarnish and small blemishes. Use only a liquid cleanser free of grit and rub in the direction of the brush lines with a damp soft sponge. Do not use appliance wax or polish on the stainless steel. Glass Door Panel - Use window cleaner for cleaning, then let dry thoroughly. For other blemishes and marks, use Stainless Steel Magic or a similar product using a clean soft cloth.

USING THE DISHWASHER

Protect Against Freezing If your dishwasher is left in an unheated place during the winter, ask a service technician to:

Turn off electrical power to the dishwasher. Remove fuses or trip circuit breaker.

Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet line from the water valve.

Drain water from the water inlet line and water valve. (Use a pan to catch the water.)

Reconnect the water inlet line to the water valve. Does Your Dishwasher Have an Air Gap? An air gap protects your dishwasher against water backing up into it if a drain clogs. The air gap is not a part of the dishwasher. It is not covered by your warranty. Not all plumbing codes require air gaps, so you may not have one. The air gap is easy to clean.

Turn off the dishwasher and lift off the air gap cover.

Remove the plastic cap under the cover and clean with a toothpick.

Replace the cap and cover when the air gap is clean. Check the air gap any time your dishwasher isn’t draining well.Air gap Filters Inspect and clean the filters periodically. This should be done every other month or more depending on usage. If there is a decrease in wash performance or dishes feel gritty, this is also an indication the filters need to be cleaned. Ultra-Fine Filter To clean the Ultra-Fine Filter, remove the bottom rack. Twist the Ultra-Fine Filter counterclockwise and lift to remove. Rinse filter with warm soapy water and use a sponge to carefully remove any stubborn particles. Scrubbing with scouring pads or brushes can dama ge the filter. Once cleaned, replace the Ultra-Fine Filter, and twist it clockwise to lock in place. Fine Filter To clean the Fine Filter (mesh plate), remove the bottom rack. Remove the Ultra-Fine Filter. Lift the Fine Filter up and out from under the two rear retaining tabs. Rinse filter with warm soapy water. Scouring pads or brushes can scratch the filter surface but a soft brush or sponge may be needed to remove stubborn soils or calcium deposits caused by hard water. Once cleaned, replace the Fine Filter making sure it goes under the two rear retaining tabs. Replace the Ultra-Fine Filter.

Dishwasher Cleaner found at your local grocery store. Pour the citric acid in the detergent cup and close the cover. Place the filmed but otherwise clean glassware and dishware in the dishwasher. Leave silverware and other metal items out of the dishwasher. Turn the dishwasher on and let it run through a complete cycle without detergent. The glassware, dishware, and dishwasher should come out film free. Alternatively, a vinegar rinse may be used. Pour 1 cup of vinegar into dishwasher just after the detergent cup opens and let the dishwasher complete its cycle. This may be repeated several times a year as needed. The use of a rinse agent such as Finish

Rinse Aid may help minimize a repeat build up of film. Also, the use of a highly rated detergent such as Finish

Automatic Dishwashing Detergent will help prevent film build-up. Feel air on your legs when standing in front of the dishwasher in cycle. This is normal Do not interrupt the cycle.
