Starting Your Dishwasher
IMPORTANT: See the Getting to Know Your Dishwasher section
for a description of the various wash settings.
To wash or rinse the dishes:
Make sure you have loaded the dishwasher and that the
detergent and rinse aid dispensers are filled according to the
previous pages.
For best operation, clear the house pipes of cold water by
running a nearby faucet until the water is hot.

completely shut. After a brief pause, the dishwasher will start.
When the wash or rinse cycle is completed, the chime will
sound.
While the dishwasher is operating:
The dishwasher starts each cycle by draining any water at the
bottom of the wash tub.
You may hear the bottom of the tub fill with clean water and the
pulsating sound of water spraying on the dishes and the tub
walls.
The number of tub drains and fills and the amount of spraying
depends on the wash or rinse cycle selected. The dishwasher
may appear to pause from time to time while it is heating water
to a higher temperature.
During the wash/rinse cycle, the control panel buttons are not
lit.
If you open the door during the wash cycle, the dishwasher will
stop operating. When you close the door, it will continue with
the current cycle until it is done.
Adding a Dish After You Start
You can add a dish, if needed, after starting your dishwasher.
Dacor recommends that you only add items during the first 5
minutes of operation to make sure they get clean.
To add a dish:
Open the door. The dishwasher will stop operating.
Wait a moment for the steam to clear.
Without touching any of the hot surfaces or racks, insert
the item into one of the racks, following normal loading
instructions.
Close the door.

completely shut. After a short pause, operation will resume.
