NOTE
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 effcient motors for the wash and drain portions of the cycle you select. Each cycle has a series of water fi Ils 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
- Load Dishwasher (See Preparing and Loading Dishes).
- Add detergent (See Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents).
- Add Rinse Aid, if needed (See Rinse Aid).
- Close door to latch.
- Select desired CYCLE (See Cycle Chart). The indicator light above the pad will glow when selected.
- Select desired OPTION (See Energy Options). The indicator light above the pad will glow when selected.
- Run hot water faucet nearest dishwasher until water is hot. Turn water off.
- To start, press START/CANCEL pad.
FEATURES AT A GLANCE
Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot water and detergent through the spray arms against soiled surfaces. First, the dishwasher fills with water covering the filter area. Water is then pumped through the spray arms. Soil particles go through and across the filter and down the drain as the water is pumped out. This series of steps are repeated as needed. The number of water fi IIs vary with the cycle being used. Features may vary according to model

Features may vary according to model

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.
Recommended Cycle for typical use:
The Normal cycle along with the heated dry option together provide the best all around performance. This cycle selection is recommended for everyday use and is suitable for a large range of both dish load size and food quantities remaining on those dishes.
Wash Cycle Selections
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 cycle will be lengthend for automatic water heating in the main wash and fi nal rinse of all cycles. This happens even when HI-TEMP WASH option has not be selected. When HI-TEMP WASH is selected, an even higher temperature will be reached to handle heavier soil loads.
Option Selections (\*available on select Models)
* Sanitize Option
To sanitize your dishes and glassware, select SANITIZE option. When selected, the light above the pad will come on and remain on until the end of the cycle. The water temperature in the final rinse will be raised to 155F (68^) . This option is available in Heavy and Normal Cycles. Only these sanitization cycles have been designed to meet NSF requirements.
The cycle time will be extended until the proper water temperature is reached. Washing action will continue during the water heating delay. For best results, the incoming water temperature should be at least 120^ (49^)
The sanitize criteria may not be satisfi ed if there is an interruption of the cycle, power failure or if the incoming water temperature is below 120^ (49^)
To turn off the SANITIZE option, press the pad a second time. The light above the pad will turn off.
* Hi-Temp Wash Option
When HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, the dishwasher heats water in the main wash to approximately 140^ (60^)
This increase in water temperature helps the dishwasher detergent remove food grease and soil from dishes more effectively and aids in drying. HI-TEMP WASH option can be used with all cycles except RINSE ONLY. HI-TEMP WASH is automatically provided when the HEAVY WASH cycle is selected.
When HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, the light above the pad will come on and remain on until end of cycle. To turn off the HI-TEMP WASH option, press the pad a second time. The light above the pad will turn off.
Heat Dry
The HEAT DRY option in combination with rinse aid will enhance drying performance. The energy required to use the HEAT DRY option costs pennies per cycle; however you will have items in your dish load that will not be completely dry at the end of the cycle.
To Cancel a Cycle
You can cancel a cycle anytime during the cycle. Press START/CANCEL pad and the dishwasher will start a 90 second drain. At the end of the drain, select the next desired cycle.
* Delay Start
The DELAY START option allows you to automatically delay starting your dishwasher from 2-4-6 hours.
Press the pad once for a 2 hour delay, twice for 4 hours and three times for 6 hours. A light will come on indicating the delay start hours and will remain on until cycle starts.
To cancel the DELAY START option and begin the cycle before the delay period is over, press the START/CANCEL pad.
Child Lock Controls
To prevent children from accidentally changing the dishwasher cycle or starting the dishwasher, lock the dishwasher controls by pressing and releasing the AIR DRY pad for 3 seconds while the door is latched. An indicator light on the lock graphic pad will illuminate when the controls are locked and no new selections can be made until the lock is released. To unlock the controls, press the same pad AIR DRY, until the indicator light goes out.
* Status Indicator Lights
The WASHING light comes on at the beginning of the cycle and remains on until the end of the main wash.
Whether heated or unheated dry is selected the DRYING light will come on during the drying portion of the cycle.
When the SANITIZE option is selected, the SANITIZED light will glow when the SANITIZE cycle is fi nished. If the dishwasher did not properly sanitize the dishes, the light will not come on. This can happen if the cycle is interrupted. The light will remain on until the door is opened.
The CLEAN light will come on at the end of cycle and remain on until the door is opened.

NOTE
Not all cycles and options available on all models.

Dish Preparation
Scrape away large pieces of food, bones, pits, toothpicks, etc. The continuously fi itered wash fl uid will remove remaining food particles. Burned-on foods should be loosened before loading. Empty liquids from glasses and cups.
Foods such as mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice and tomato based products may cause discoloration of stainless steel and plastics if allowed to sit for a long period of time. Unless the dishwasher is to be operated at once, it is best to pre-rinse or use the rinse only cycle to rinse off these food soils.
- Load racks so that large items do not prevent the detergent dispenser from opening.
- Check manufacturer's recommendations before washing items in question.
- If the dishwasher drains into a Food Disposer, be sure the dispenser is completely empty before starting the dishwasher.

Loading the Top Rack
Features and appearance of racks and silverware basket as shown may vary from your model.
The upper rack is designed for fl exibility in loading a wide variety of items including cups, glasses,stemware,small plates,bowls,etc.
Load glasses in top rack only. Damage may occur if placed in bottom rack.
Load plastic items in top rack only. Melting may occur if placed in bottom rack.
Load items with open end facing down for better cleaning and draining.
Damage may occur if delicate items touch each other during dishwasher operation.
Long-handled knives and utensils can be placed in top rack.

Some models have a fold-down cup shelf or a cup shelf/stemware holder. They can be used to load two levels of cups, juice glasses, and other short items. Stagger items on upper level so that water can reach all inside surfaces. Fold cupshelf up to load tall glasses.
PREPARING AND LOADING DISHES
Loading the Bottom Rack
Features and appearance of racks and silverware basket as shown may vary from your model.
The lower rack is best for plates, saucers, bowls, and cookware. Large items should be placed along the edge so they do not block the spray arm rotation. For best results, place bowls, casseroles, and sauce pans with soiled surface facing down or toward the center. Tilt slightly for better drainage.
Make sure tall items do not block spray arm rotation.
Be sure pan handles do not protrude through the bottom of the rack and block the spray arm rotation.

Loading the Silverware Basket

CAUTION
Load sharp items (knives, skewers, etc.) pointing down.
Failure to do so may result in injury.
Features and appearance of racks and silverware basket as shown may vary from your model.
Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom rack or take the basket out for loading on a counter or table.
For baskets with lids small items like baby bottle caps, jar lids, corn cob holders, etc., can be placed in a covered section. Close the cover to hold small items in place.

Use suggested loading patterns, as shown, to increase washability of the silverware.
Be sure nothing protrudes through bottom of basket or rack to block the spray arm.
Do not mix silver and stainless to avoid damaging the silver finish.
When covers are up, mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing up and some down to avoid nesting. Water spray cannot reach nested items.

Adding a Dish
To add or remove items after wash cycle starts:
- Unlatch door and wait a few seconds until wash action stops before opening.
- Add the item, place the door in an almost closed position, and wait a few seconds to allow cold air to slowly expand inside dishwasher.
- Close door fi rmly to latch and resume cycle.
DISHWASHER DISPENSER & DETERGENTS

CAUTION
The use of industrial grade detergent can damage the heating coil and other parts of the dishwasher leading to damage to the unit and surrounding property. Use only household grade automatic dishwasher detergents.
Filing the Detergent Dispenser
The detergent dispenser has two detergent cups. The smaller one is for addition to the pre-wash and the larger is for release to the main wash.
Use only fresh automatic dishwashing detergent. Other detergents may cause oversudsing.
- When using automatic dishwashing detergent tabs, place one tab in main wash cup and close.
- Add detergent just before starting cycle.
- Store detergent in a cool, dry location. Moist or caked detergent may not dissolve properly.

If the cover is closed on the Main Wash Cup open by pressing the Cover Latch.
How much Detergent to use
The amount of detergent to use depends on the water hardness. Water hardness is measured in grains per gallon. Using too little detergent can result in poor cleaning and hard water fi lming or spotting. Using too much detergent in soft water can cause etching to some glassware which is surface damage that appears like a fi lm but cannot be wiped off. Your local water company, water softener company or county extension agent can tell you the water hardness in your area.

NOTE
To achieve the best results from your dishwasher, visit www.dishwashingexpert.com for general tips regarding the performance and operation of your dishwasher.
| Detergent Usage Chart | ||||
| Cycle Soft Water | Water(0-3 grains) | Medium Hard Water(4-8 grains) | Hard Water(9-12 grains) | Very Hard Water(Over 12 grains) |
| Heavy Wash or Normal Wash | 2 teaspoons(each cup-1/4 full) | 5 teaspoons(each cup- fi II to line above“Regular”) | 8 teaspoons(each cup-completely full) | Each Cup- Completely Full (water softener recommended) |
| Light Wash or Energy Saver | 2 teaspoons(Main Wash cup-1/4 full) | 5 teaspoons(each cup- fi II to line above“Regular”) | 8 teaspoons(Main Wash cup- completely full) | Main Wash Cup- Completely Full (water softener recommended) |
| Rinse Only | No Detergent | No Detergent No Detergent | No Detergent(water softener recommended) | |
As a rule, use 1 teaspoon for each grain above 12. For very hard water, detergent alone may not be enough and then a water softener is recommended to improve water quality and dishwashing performance.
Rinse Aid
Rinse aid greatly improves drying, reduces water spots, fī lming, and lubricates wash arm bearing for proper rotation. With it water "sheets" off dishes rather than forming water droplets that cling and leave spots.
A dispenser, located next to the detergent cup, automatically releases a measured amount of rinse aid during the last rinse. If spotting and poor drying are problems, increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed by rotating the dial to a higher number. The dial is located under the dispenser cap. The indicator will be dark when full and will show clear when it is time to refill.
To add liquid rinse aid, turn dispense cap 1/4 turn counterclockwise and lift out. Pour in rinse aid until liquid touches the indicated fi II level. Replace cap.
Do not overfi II since this can cause oversudsing. Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth.
The dispenser holds enough for 35 to 140 washes, depending on the setting selected.
Dispenser Opening Indicator

Dispenser Cap
Water Pressure
The hot water line to the dishwasher must provide water pressure between 20 and 120 psi.
Low Water pressure may occur when laundry or showers are in operation. If you experience poor wash performance you may need to wait until water use is reduced before starting dishwasher.
Water Temperature
Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and drying results. Water entering the dishwasher should be at least 120^ (49^) to give satisfactory results.
To check the temperature of the water entering the dishwasher:
- Turn on the hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher for several minutes to clear cool water from pipes.
- Hold a candy or meat thermometer in the water stream to check the temperature.
If temperature is below 120 ^ F (49^) have a qualifi ed person raise the hot water heater thermostat setting.

IMPORTANT
Before starting a cycle, run hot water to clear cool water from pipe.
The HEAT DRY option in combination with rinse aid will enhance drying performance. The energy required to use the HEAT DRY option costs pennies per cycle. You may choose not to select the HEAT DRY option; however you will have items in your dish load that will not be completely dry at the end of the cycle.

Food Soils Left on Dishes
- Choose another cycle for longer washing time.
- Check rack loading section for proper loading-avoid nesting items.
- Do not overload the dishwasher (See Preparing and Loading Dishes).
- Home water pressure may be too low-should be 20 to 120 pounds per square inch (psi).
- Check incoming water temperature. It should be about 120^ (49^) . (See Factors Affection Performance.)
- Check water hardness. For extremely hard water, it may be necessary to install a water softener. (See Detergent Chart).
Use Fresh Detergent. - Make sure items are not blocking the spray arms, preventing them from rotating.
- Check to verify that the glass trap is maintained and installed properly (See Care and Cleaning).
Dishes not Dry
- Select heat dry option.
Make sure the rinse aid dispenser is filled. - Increase the discharge setting of rinse aid. (See Rinse Aid).
- Check the incoming water temperature. Be sure it is at least 120^ (49^) .
- Check for proper loading-avoid nesting items.
Cups with a concave bottom will collect water. Load them at the far left and right of the upper rack so they will be held in a tilted position.
- Containers, bowls, pots/pans, and any dishware with concave surfaces that can collect water should be placed in the rack facing or angled down so that water is able to drain even from the lowest point.
- Plastic items may need to be towel dried. Glassware/ Flatware Spotted or Cloudy
- Check water hardness. For extremely hard water, it may be necessary to install a water softener. (See Detergent Chart).
Water temperature may be low. Avoid extremely low or high temperatures. (See Factors Affecting Performance.
- Avoid overloading and improper loading. (See Preparing and Loading Dishes).
- Use fresh detergent. Old detergent is ineffective.
- Make sure rinse aid dispenser is fi lled.
- Check to see that proper amount of detergent is being used for cycle selected. (See Detergent Dispenser).
Home water pressure may be too low-it should be 20 to 120 pounds per square inch (psi).
Dishware Chipped
- Load with care and do not overload. (See Preparing and Loading Dishes).
- Place delicate items in top rack.
- Place glasses securely against pins and not over pins.
- Load items so they are secure and don't jar loose when moving racks in and out. Move racks in and out slowly.
- Make sure tall glasses and stemware will clear top of tub when rack is pushed in.
- Fine antique china and crystal should be hand-washed.
Dishware Stained or Discolored
- Tea and coffee can stain cups. Remove the stains by hand washing in a solution of 1/2 cup (120ml) bleach and one quart (1L) of warm water. Rinse thoroughly.
-
Iron deposits in water can cause a yellow or brown film. A special filter installed in the water supply line will correct this problem. (See Removing Spots and Film).
-
Aluminum utensils can leave gray/black marks when they rub against other items. Load Properly.
- Certain high acid foods can cause discoloration of stainless steel and plastics if allowed to sit for a long period. Use the Rinse Only cycle or rinse by hand if not operating dishwasher at once.
- Mixing stainless steel and silver utensils in silverware basket can cause pitting of the stainless steel blades. Avoid mixing stainless steel and silver.
Water in Bottom of Tub
- Water left in the tub bottom after the cycle is complete is not normal. If water remains in the bottom of the tub, the dishwasher may not be draining properly. (See Dishwasher Does not Drain Properly).
Cycle Takes a Long Time
The cycle may have been automatically lengthened to reach key temperatures due to some factor such as a cool water supply or a large load of dishes.
- Delay Start option may have been selected.
- Choose lower temperature options to shorten the cycle.
- Cycles that are soil-sensing adjust automatically to assure a good wash - heavier soils will elicit a longer cycle response.
Etching
- Using too much detergent especially in soft or softened water causes damage that looks like a fi lm but cannot be removed.
- Adjust the amount of detergent based on the water hardness. (Check Detergent Chart).
- Lower the water temperature by selecting one of the lower temperature options.
Detergent Left in Cups
- Detergent may be old. Discard and use fresh detergent.
- Be sure the dish load doesn't block spray from entering the detergent cup.
- Check to see if cycle has been completed.
- Make sure items do not prevent the detergent dispenser from opening.
Dishwasher Leaks
- Check that the door gasket is pressed into its mounting channel, reaches to the bottom of the tub and does not extend beyond the end rib so as to interfere with door closure.
- Spilled rinse aide can cause foam and lead to overfl owing. Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth.
- Check to see that the dishwasher is level. (See Installation Instructions).
- Avoid oversudsing by using the correct amount of detergent designed for automatic dishwashers.
- Check to see that dishwasher is level. (See Installation Instructions).
Normal Sounds You Will Hear
- Normal sounds include water fi II, water spray, draining and motor sounds.
- There is a noticeable change in sound when the wash action switches between the lower and middle spray arm. This is normal since each spray arm has its own sound.
- It is normal for the dishwasher to pause (no sound) when the wash action is switching between the lower and middle spray arms.
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.
Dishwasher Won't Fill
Assure the water supply is turned on.
- Check that the overfi II protector moves up and down freely. (See Overfi II Protector section).
Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly
- If unit is hooked up to a food waste dispenser, make sure the dispenser is empty.
Assure the knockout plug has been removed from inside the food waste dispenser 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. Pre-rinsing or using the Rinse Only cycle will reduce the chance of staining. Using no heat dry option will lessen staining.
Removing Spots and Film
Hard water can cause lime deposit buildup on the interior of the dishwasher. Dishes and glasses may also get spots and fi lm for a number of reasons. (See Glassware/ Flatware Spotted or Cloudy section). To remove buildup, and fi lm, clean using the following instructions:
- Load clean dishes and glasses in normal manner. Do not load any metal utensils or silverware.
