■ Depending on your water hardness, fill the Main Wash section
of the dispenser as shown. Fill the Pre-Wash section to the
level shown, if needed.
NOTE: Fill amounts shown
are for standard powdered
detergent. Follow instructions
on the package when using
other dishwasher detergent.
Add Rinse Aid (Dispenser varies by model)
■ Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid for good drying
performance. Without rinse aid your dishes and dishwasher
interior will have excessive moisture. The heat dry option will
not perform as well without rinse aid.
■ Rinse aid keeps water from forming droplets that can dry as
spots or streaks. They also improve drying by allowing water to
drain off of the dishes after the final rinse.
■ Rinse aid helps to reduce excess moisture on the dish racks
and interior of your dishwasher.
NOTE: For most water conditions, the factory setting will give good
results. If you have hard water or notice rings or spots, try a higher
setting. Turn the arrow adjuster inside the dispenser by either using
your fingers or inserting a flat-blade screwdriver into the center of
the arrow and turning.
Select a Cycle (cycles vary by model)
Press the Select Cycles button until the light below the desired
cycle is on.
NOTE: Heavier cycles and options affect cycle length. Some
cycles and options will take up to 3
¹⁄₂ hours to complete.
Select Options (options vary by model)
You can customize your cycles by pressing the options desired.
Repeatedly press the button until the desired combination of
options is selected.
Start or Resume a Cycle
■ Run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the
water is hot. Turn off water.
■ Push door firmly closed. The door latches
automatically. Select the wash cycle and options
desired OR press START/RESUME to repeat the
same cycle and options as in the previous wash
cycle. For top controls, select cycle and options
first, and then close the door.
■ You can add an item anytime before the main
wash starts. Open the door slowly and add the
item. Close the door firmly. Press START/
RESUME.
■ The Clean/Complete indicator glows when the cycle is finished.
If you select the Sani Rinse option, the Sanitized indicator
glows when the cycle is finished.
■ Check the rinse aid indicator.
(varies by model) Add rinse aid
when indicator drops to “Refill”
level.
■ To add rinse aid, turn the
dispenser cap to “Open” and
lift off. Pour rinse aid into the
opening until the indicator
level is at “Full.” Replace the
dispenser cap and turn to
“Lock.” Make sure cap is fully
locked
■ On some models, add rinse
aid by opening the rinse
dispenser lid by gently
pushing in the center of the lid
with your thumb and pulling
up on the edge. Pour rinse aid
into the opening until the
dispenser is full. Then, close
the dispenser by pushing
