Maytag 6919559A - Manual (Page 4)

Before You Start
• Don’t prerinse. Simply scrape off any bones or
large food particles.
• If connected to a food waste disposer, make certain
the disposer is empty before starting the
dishwasher.
• Scrape off tomato-based food soils (see page 8).
• Remove certain foods such as mustard,
mayonnaise, lemon juice, vinegar, salt or dressings
from stainless steel flatware as soon as possible.
These foods may cause rusting and pitting if allowed
to remain in contact with the surface for an extended
period of time.
Starting the Dishwasher
1. After loading the dishwasher and adding detergent,
select the desired cycle by pressing the Cycle
Select
pad until the light next to the desired cycle
is illuminated. Choose the desired options by
pressing the pads. The indicator lights for the
selected cycle and options will illuminate. To cancel
an option press the pad again.
2. To start a cycle, close the door until it latches then
press the START/CANCEL pad once. After a
pause, the fill will begin. The display countdown
(select models) will flash until START/CANCEL is
pressed.
Note: If START/CANCEL is not pressed within 30
seconds of choosing your cycle, the dishwasher will
turn off.
The dishwasher remembers your last cycle so you
do not have to reset the cycle each time. To start
the dishwasher using the same cycle and options
selected on the previous wash, just press the
START/CANCEL pad.
3. To cancel a running cycle, press the
START/CANCEL pad once. The dishwasher will
drain, then shut off. To turn the dishwasher off
without draining, press the START/CANCEL pad
twice. To prevent unplanned cycle or option
changes, these selections are “locked in” after 1
minute.
Note: If the cycle select pad is pressed after the
controls have been “locked in”, the light beside the
selected cycle will flash three times.
Adding a Forgotten Item
For best cleaning, the forgotten item should be added
early in the cycle.
1. Grasp door handle and unlatch door without
opening completely. All lights will flash to indicate
that the cycle is suspended.
2. Wait for the water circulation to stop.
3. Open the door and add the item.
4. Close and latch the door. Lights will stop flashing
when the door is properly shut. After a slight delay,
the cycle resumes automatically at the point of
interruption.
Notes:
• If the door is opened during a running cycle,
there may be up to a 30 second delay before the
dishwasher restarts after closing the door.
• Extended interruption of the wash cycle is not
recommended.
General Recommendations
(Rack features vary by model)
• Items can be centered behind a single tine or loaded
at an angle to maximize space.
• Avoid blocking or preventing the spray arms from
spinning freely. Do not allow items to extend beyond
the racks.
• Face soiled surfaces toward the center of the
dishwasher.
For best dishwashing results follow these guidelines to
determine the best arrangement for your items.
