POWER CLEAN”’ Washing System

Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot, clean water and detergent against soiled surfaces of dishes, When a cycle is started, the dishwasher fills with water to about the level of the heating element. This water is pumped through the rotating spray arms, through the POWER CLEAN* Module which removes food particles, and back through the rotating spray arms. Soiled water is pumped out and replaced with clean water during a cycle-the number of times depends on the cycle being used.

The POWER CLEAN* Module removes food particles from the water, stores them, then washes them down the drain.

Load dishes so soiled surfaces face pow- erful spray from rotating arms.

Step-saving preparation for washing

It Is not necessary to rinse dishes betore putting them Into the dishwasher. Just remove large pieces, bones, and other hard items. The

POWER CLEAN’ Module will remove food parti- cles from the water. It contains a chopping de- vice which wil! reduce the size of food items.

If hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts and egg shells enter the POWER CLEAN’ Module, you might hear chopping, grinding, crunching or buzzing sounds. Those sounds are normal when hard items enter the module. DO NOT LET

METALLIC ITEMS (I.E. POT HANDLE SCREWS)

GET INTO THE POWER CLEAN’ MODULE. THIS

COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE POWER

CLEAN’ MODULE.

Hot water is a must

Hot water dissolves and activates the dish- washing detergent. Hot water dissolves grease on dishes and helps dry glasses spot-free. Make certain loads are washed in hot water [at least

140°F - 60°C). Two ways to have a reliable hot water supply...

I. Maintain 140°F water supply at central water heater. To check water temperature, turn on hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher. Let water run until it is as hot as possible, then check with a candy or meat thermometer. If the temperature is too low, have a qualified person raise the water heater thermostat setting.

2. Use HI-TEMP WASHING Option. If water heating is needed, a thermostat will delay the cycle until temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). If water is hot enough, the cycle will proceed with no delay. This lets you turn down your water heater, if you choose, without cutting back on hot water needed for good dish- washing.

Quiet operating tips

l l

To avoid thumping and clattering noises during operation:

Make sure lightweight load items are secured in the rack.

Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets, etc.

do

not touch interior walls l or interfere with either of the spray arms rotation.

Load dishes so they don’t touch one another.

NOTE: Keep slnk drain plugs Inserted during dlshwasher operatlon to prevent noise trans- fer through drains.

‘Tmk

Proper loading

Always load dishes so soiled surfaces are reached by spray from rotating spray arms.

Water must be able to drain off completely for best drying results. Be careful to separate items so spray can reach all surfaces.

Top rack loading

CUP AND GLASS LOAD l

The top rack is designed for cups, glasses and smaller items.

Place so open ends face down for clean- ing and draining.

8 Load glasses in top rack only. Bottom rack is not designed for glasses. Damage may occur. l l

Place items in the rows between prongs.

Placing them over the prongs can lead to breakage.

Be sure lightweight items are held firmly in place l

China, crystal and other delicate items must not touch each other during dish- washer operation. Damage may occur.

ADJUSTABLE TOP RACK

The top rack does not have to be level

LOWER l l l

Load plastic items in the top rack only.

Only plastic items marked “dishwasher safe” are recommended.

Plastic items can be melted in the bottom rack.

Small bowls, pans and other utensils can be placed in the top rack. l l

. Raise or lower one or both sides to help fit tall items in the top or bottom rack.

Turn knob clockwise to raise a side.

Turn knob counterclockwise to lower a side l

Items with cooked-on or dried-on foods should be loaded in the bottom rock with soiled surfaces facing the spray.

5

Bottom rack loading

Silverware basket loading

Load forks and spoons so they don’t nest together. Spray can’t reach nested items.

NO YES l l

Make sure pot handles and other items do not stop rotation of either the upper or lower spray arm. Spray arms must move freely.

Securely place heavily soiled cookware face down in rack.

Mix items in each section of the bas- ket. Small items - baby bottle caps, jar lids, etc.-can be put in any section.

Make sure sharp items (knives, forks, skewers, etc.) are put in point down. l

Place plates, soup bowls, etc., between prongs and facing the spray.

The silverware basket can be loaded while it’s in place on the door, or it can be taken out for loading on the counter or table.

It can also be removed for easy un- loading. Always unload or remove the basket before unloading the racks to avoid spilling water droplets on the l

Load cookie sheets, cake-pans and other large items at sides or back. Loading such items in front may keep water spray from reaching detergent dispenser and silverware basket. l l

NOTE:

Do not load glasses, cups or plastic items in the bottom rack.

When lower rack is removed, replace with bumpers in front.

6

To remove the basket, slide it towarc the top of the door - by the handle. Lifi it off the holding buttons. Replace it in reverse order.

To open the basket, unhook the latch as shown. Be sure the cover is completely latched before pulling out the bottom rack and before closing the dishwasher door.

Adding detergent

The kind and amount of dishwasher detergent you use is an important part of getting your dishes clean. Read this section carefully.

Use automatic dlsh- washer detergent only.

Other detergents are too mild and much too sudsy to work in the dishwasher.

Different dishwasher brands of detergent have different amounts of phosphorus. Phospho- rus softens water and helps prevent water spots on dishes.

If water is hard and phosphorus content is low (8.7% or less), you may need to use more detergent or use a brand with a higher phosphorus

(12% or higher). content

Do not add detergeni until you are ready to wash. Fresh automatic dishwasher is necessary detergent for best washing results. Store detergent tightly closed in a cool dry place.

The detergent dispenser

l l

The detergent dispenser has one section with l a cover and one without.

Put detergent in both sections for cycles with two washes.

Put detergent in the covered section only for cycles with one wash.

Push the cover down 1, until it is latched

How much detergent to use

The amount of detergent to use depends on the hardness of your water. If too little is used, dishes won’t be clean. However, if too much is used in soft water, glassware will begin to etch.

Find out your water’s hardness by asking your local water depart- ment, water softener company or county extension agent, l HARD

- Fill 1 or both sections to top line if water is 8 or more grains of hardness. l

MEDIUM - Fill 1 or both sections to middle line if water is 5 to 7 grains of hardness. l

SOFT - Fill 1 or both sections to bottom line if water is 0 to 4 grains of hardness.

Rinse aid dispenser

A rinse aid helps keep water from forming droplets and dry- ing as spots. Keep the dispenser filled with a rinse aid such as

Jet-Dry.’ A small amount is released automatically during the final rinse of each cycle. Check the dispenser periodically to see if it needs refilling.

The Fill Indicator Cap shows when it’s time to fill the rinse aid dispenser. When the fill level is low, the center of the cap will appear to be clear.

Keep the dispenser fill cap tightly closed.

3. Open the door and add the dish,

4. Close the door. Do not latch it. Wait 30 sec- onds for air in the dishwasher to warm up.

This helps reduce the amount of moisture that can come from the vent when restati- ing the cycle.

5. Latch the door. The dishwasher will start from where it stopped.

Energy saving tips

You can help save energy if you:

1. Wash full loads. Running a half-filled disn- washer uses the same amount of electricity and hot water as a fully loaded machine.

2. Use the LOW ENERGY WASH Cycle whenever possible. It uses less hot water and energy than otherwash cycles.

3. Air dry dishes when you don’t need a rapid drying cycle. Allow longer drying times

[overnight].

4. load correctly for best washing results. In- correct loadrng may cause poor washing and the need to rewash all or part of the load.

5. Don’t pre-rinse normally soiled dishes. Se- lect the correct cycle for the load and use the recommended amount of detergent for good washing results without hand rinsing.

6. Use your dishwasher during off-peak hours.

Local utilities recommend this to avoid heavy usage of energy at CertCIin timEi of day.

7. Kitchen cleanup can be done quickly and efficiently through the use of your dishwasher.

Most appliance parts that can fit in the dish- washer can be cleaned by it. Burned-on soil, however, should be cleaned by hand.

Special tips on dishwasher use

Remember, use your dishwasher only for the job it was designed to do.

Some items are not dishwasher safe or may require special care.

Read these special tips for the following items:

&MIk’UllU: Aluminum loses its bright, shiny appearance and darkens in color due to minerals in the water and the alkalinity of the dishwasher detergent. Colored aluminum may fade.

TIPS: If washed in the dishwasher avoid placing directly in front of detergent dispenser where it could be sprinkled with undissolved detergent, causing spotting, pitting, and discoloration.

Follow utensil manufacturers’ cleaning instructions.

China:

Hand-painted, metal-trimmed, and antique china fade due to high water temperatures and alkaline detergent solution in the dishwasher. NOTE: Delicate, antique items should not be washed in the dishwasher.

TIPS: Load china carefully. Do not allow pieces to touch each other. Test one piece by washing it daily in the dishwasher for several weeks. Then compare it with the rest of the set to see if colors have changed. cQ3tal

and decorative

glasses: Crystal can break from sudden exposure to high water temperature. Metal trim and colorful decoration on glass will fade in time when washed in the dishwasher. NOTE: Delicate, antique items should not be washed in the dishwasher.

TIPS: Load crystal carefully in top rack only. Be sure to load a few larger items in the bottom rack to reduce amount of force of water spray reaching glassware from lower spray arm. Use the shortest cycle.

Flatware:

Salt-y and acidic foods may tarnish silver and stainless flatware if allowed to remain on the utensils. A film may form on sterling silver and silver plate items washed in a dishwasher. This film is caused by reaction of silver with chlorine in the detergent. Gold flatware is not dishwasher safe.

TIPS: Rinse flatware as soon as possible, especially if it is not to be washed right away. Dishwasher detergent may remove antique finishes. Wash by hand.Tarnish and film build-up can be removed with silver polish.

Cast irOIl UtCUSilS: The seasoned finish will be removed in the dishwasher. Rusting will result.

TIPS: Wash by hand. To re-season, coat with unsalted fat and heat in a slow oven for an hour ortwo.

PhStiCS: Many plastics will have “Dishwasher Safe” written on them. Some plastics are heat sensitive and may melt or warp.

TIPS: If in doubt, try one piece. Place in upper rack only. AIR DRY option provides additional protection.

Non-stick finish utensils:

Most can be washed in the dishwasher.

TIPS: Follow manufacturers’ suggestions.

Wood:

M any wooden items will crack and warp or lose their finish.

TIPS: Do not wash cutting boards, wooden salad bowls or knives with wooden handles in the dishwasher.

Pewter

Or

pewter-like materials:

May streak, discolor, and pit.

TIPS: To keep pewter at its very best, hand wash with mild detergent.

Dishwasher care & cleaning:

Exterior - Regular use of a SOI? damp cloth or sponge and a mild detergent is all that is necessary, in most cases, to keep the outside of your dishwasher nice looking and clean. Interior - Hard water minerals may cause a white film to build-up on the inside surfaces, especially just beneath the door area.

Wear rubber gloves when cleaning the dishwasher interior. Do not use any rype or cleanser omer man dishwasher detergent because it may cause foaming or sudsing.

Some plumbing codes require use of a drain air gap be- tween an undercounter dishwasher and the drain system of the house. The air gap is usually located above the sink or on the top of the counter near the dishwasher to prevent the possibility of water backing up from the drain into the dishwasher due to a plugged drain. The drain air gap is

NOT a part of the dishwasher and is NOT covered by the dishwasher warranty. The drain air gap should be kept clean to insure proper draining of the dishwasher.
