For Best Results

Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mix-

ture of hot, clean water and detergent against

soiled surfaces of dishes. When a cycle is

started, the dishwasher fills with water to a bout

the level of the heating element. This water is

pumped through the rotating spray arms,

drained through the filter system which re-

moves food and soil, and pumped 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.

If-cleaning filtering system and

removable pump guard help eliminate pre-

rinsing by removing food particles from the

The filtering system

It is not necessary to rinse dishes before

putting them into the dishwasher. Just remove

large pieces and quantities of food and bones.

The filtering system helps keep food particles

out of the wash water. Small particles are flushed

away as water is pumped out. Larger particles

are trapped in the pump guard.

To remove the pump guard for cleaning...

I. Walt at least 20 minutes after a cycle for

the heating element to cool down.

2. Unload and remove the bottom rack.

3. Press the outside wall of the pump guard at

the centerto release the latch.

A. Lift out and rinse clean.

To replace the pump guard...

Insert pump guard legs [on inside wall) into

matching openings in filter screen.

Press down on outside wall until latch snaps

into place.

Replace bottom rack with rack bumpers in

Load dishes so soiled surfaces face pow-

erful spray from rotating arms.

Check Water

A Temperature

For best cleaning and drying results, water should be at least

140°F (60°C).

1. Turn on hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher. Let water run

until it is as hot as possible.

2. Hold a candy or meat thermometer in the stream of hot water

to measure the temperature.

3. If the temperature is too low, have a qualified person raise

the water heater thermostat setting.

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

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 brands of

dishwasher 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 content

(12% or higher).

Do not add detergent

until you are ready to

wash. Fresh, dry deter-

gent is necessary for

best washing results.

Store detergent tightly in

a cool, dry place.

The detergent dispenser

The detergent dispenser has one section with

a cover and one without.

Put detergent in both sections for cycles with

two washes.

Put deteraent in the covered section only for

cycles w’ih one wash.

Push the cover down

until it is latched.

The cover opens auto-

matically when the main

wash starts. Detergent in

How much detergent to use

The amount of detergent to use

depends on the hardness of your

water. Iftoo 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 waters hardness by

asking your local water depart-

ment, water softener company or

county extension agent.

HARD - Fill 1 or both sections to top

line if water is 8 or more grains of

hardness.

MEDIUM - Fill both sections to

middle line if water is 5 to 7

SOFT - Fill both sections to bottom

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.

Keep the dispenser fill cap tightly closed.

Energy saving tips

You can help save energy if You:

1. Wash full loads. Running a half-filled dish-

washer uses the same amount of electricity

and hot water as a fully loaded machine.

3. Air dry dishes when you don’t need a rapid

drying cycle. Allow longer drying times

(overnight).

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.

2. Use ENERGY SAVING WASH Cycle for nor-

mally soiled loads. It uses less hot water and

energy than HEAVY WASH.

load correctly for best washing results. ln-

correct loading may cause poor washing

and the need to rewash all or part of the

load.

Use your dlshwasher during off-peak hours.

Local utilities recommend this to avoid

heavy usage of energy at certain times of

day.
