OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS



NOTE

Your dishwasher uses a DishSense TM then adjusts the cycle accordingly.

Technology to understand how much food is on the dishes and

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 lengthened for automatic water heating in the main wash and final 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.

Recommended Cycle for typical use:

The Normal cycle with its factory default options of normal temperature and heated dry 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 sizes and food quantities remaining on those dishes.

Option Selections

Wash Pressure

The programmed cycles default to the “surge” pressure option which varies the pressure optimally for the cycle’s intended normal use.

If, for some special circumstance, either a very low

“spray” or very high “scour” pressure is desired that may be selected by pressing the WASH

PRESSURE pad.

Due to wash cycle optimization, some pressure options are not selectable in all wash cycle.

Wash Temp

The programmed cycles default to the “normal” temperature option, to choose HI-TEMP or

SANITIZE press WASH TEMP pad again.



NOTE

Hi-temp wash with dry heat and rinse, will improve drying performance.

Hi-Temp Wash Option

HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, by pressing the

WASH TEMP pad.

The dishwasher heats water in the main wash to approximately 140°F (60°C) and increases the temperature higher in the final rinse to help with the drying stage.

This helps dishwasher detergent remove food grease and soil from dishes more effectively and aids in drying performance by adding additional rinse aid and increasing the water temperature.

Sanitize Option

To sanitize your dishes and glassware, select

SANITIZE option, by pressing WASH TEMP pad.

When selected, the light will come on and remain on until end of cycle.

The water temperature in the final rinse will be raised to 155°F (68°C) and will maintain that temperature for 9 minutes.

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°F (49°C).

The sanitize criteria may not be satisfied if there is an interruption of the cycle, power failure or if the incoming water temperature is below 120°F

(49°C).

To turn off the SANITIZE option, press the Wash

Temp pad.

The SANITIZE light will turn off.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Heat Dry

The HEAT DRY option in combination with rinse aid will enhance drying performance.

HEAT DRY option is available on all cycles.

The AIR DRY option will reduce temperature in the hot rinse of the selected wash cycle.

This option will slightly decrease energy usage but will increase the likelihood that dishware will not be dry.

My Favorite Cycle

The MY FAVORITE CYCLE option allows you to program your preferred cycle and options into one button.

Once Programmed, simply press the MY FAVORITE CYCLE button will select the programmed cycle and options. Pressing the

START/CANCEL pad and close the dishwasher door immediately will start the cycle.

To Program the MY FAVORITE CYCLE button:

1. Select your preferred cycle and options

2. Hold the MY FAVORITE CYCLE button for 3 seconds.

The LED over the MY FAVORITE pad turns on indicating the MY FAVORITE CYCLE option has been programmed.

To change the MY FAVORITE

CYCLE option simply repeat steps one and two above.

Child Lock Controls

START pad until the status window displays “loc”.

To unlock the controls, press the DELAY START pad until “loc” is no longer displayed in the status window.

To Cancel a Cycle and Delay Start

Both running cycle and delay countdown can be cancelled at any time.

Open the dishwasher door and press the START/

CANCEL pad until you hear a tone.

The running cycle or delay countdown is cancelled.

If desired, a new cycle can now be selected, by pressing START/CANCEL pad and closing the door immediately, the new cycle will begin.

To Cancel a Setting

If you have selected your cycle and options and decide to cancel, by pressing the START/CANCEL pad, the unit will go into a stand-by mode, which all LEDs will go out.

Delay Start

The DELAY START option allows you to automatically delay starting your dishwasher from

1-24 hours.

Select your desired cycle and options, then press the DELAY START pad until the desired delay time displays in the status window.

The LEDs of selected cycle and options are illuminated. The status window displays the delay time and then displays

‘Press Start’.

To start the delay countdown, press START/CANCEL pad and close door immediately.

The status window displays ‘Close’ after the START/

CANCEL pad is pressed.

A tone will sound indicating that the countdown has started after the door is closed. The selected cycle starts when the countdown is completed.

Opening the door during cycle

If you open the door while a cycle is running or delay is counting down, the dishwasher will stop running.

The LEDs of selected cycle and options are illuminated, the status window displays the remaining cycle time or delay time and displays

‘Press Start’.

To resume, press START/CANCEL pad and close the dishwasher door immediately.

The status window displays ‘Close’ after the START/

CANCEL pad is pressed.

A tone will sound indicating that the dishwasher will begin running from the point of interruption after the door is closed.

If the dishwasher door is kept open for too long, or the door is closed without pressing START/CANCEL pad, the running cycle or delay countdown will be cancelled.

Status Indicator Lights

The CLEAN light will remain on after the door is opened.

When the SANITIZE option is selected and the criteria is met, the Sanitized indicator will display and remain on after the door is opened.

If the sanitization criteria is not achieved, the indicator will not display.

This can happen if the cycle is interrupted or if the sanitization temperature could not be reached due to incoming water temperature significantly below 120 0 F.

Green Light

When the GREEN LIGHT illuminates on the floor this indicates that the wash cycle is complete.

Blue Light

When the BLUE LIGHT illuminates on the floor this indicates that the wash cycle is operating.
