l To save water and energy, do not rinse diis before putting them into the dishwasher.
l Remove large pieces of food, bones, and other hard items.
l Foods like eggs, rice, pasta, and cooked cereals may be hard to remove if left to dry over a period of time. Run a RINSE 8 HOLD cyde to keep dishes moist if you do not plan to wash them scwx.
l Load dishes so soiled surfaces face the rotating spray arm.
l Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping. lt is important for the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces for best washing. For best drying, water must be able to drain from all surfaces.
dishwasher
Loading for quiet operation
l Secure lightweight load items in the racks.
l Pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets, etc., should not touch interior walls, interfere with the spray arm???s rotation, or cover the spray tower.
l Load dishes so they do not touch one another.
NOTE: Keep sink drain plugs inserted during dishwasher operation to prevent noise transfer through drains.
Loading the silverware basket
Personal Injury Hazard
Load sharp items (knives, forks, skewers, etc.) with the point down.
Failure to do so could cause personal injury.
l Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom rack or take the basket out for loading on a counter or table.
NOTE: The loaded basket must be placed in the center front (over the spray tower) of the bottom rack for proper washing.
l Mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing up and some down to avoid nesting. Spray cannot reach nested items. However, always load sharp items (knives, skewers, forks, etc.) pointing down.
l Put small items (baby bottle caps, jar lids, etc.) in any section.
l You can also remove the basket for easy unloading. Always unfoad or remove the basket before unloading the racks to avoid
spilling water on the silverware.

Using the Dispensers
For best washing results, review the information below. It is important to use detergents and rinse agents properly.
Using the detergent dispenser
l Uss automatic dishwashing detergent only. Other detergents are too mild and much too sudsy.
l Add detergent just before starting cycle.
l Store detergent tightlycbsed in a cool, dry place. Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning.
Filling the detergent dispenser
The detergent dispenser has one section with a cover and one without. Push cover down fim until it latches. Detergent in the open section falls into the dishwasher when closing the door. The covered section opens automatically for the main wash.
NOTE: It is normal for the cover to open partially when dispensing detergent.
lCycb on soma models only.
How much detergent to use
l The amount of detergent to use depends on the hardness of your water and the type of detergent. If you use too little, dishes won???t be clean. If you use too much in soft water, glassware will etch.
l Different brands of dishwasher detergent have different amounts of phosphorus for softening water. lf you have hard water and use bw phosphorus content detergent (6.0% or less), you may need to use more detergent or use a detergent with a higher phosphorus content (8.7%).
l Find out your water???s hardness by asking your local water department, water soft- ener company, or county extension agent.
Fill amounts shown are for standard powdered detergent. Amounts may vary if you use liquid or concentrated powdered detergent. Follow manufacturer???s directions when using liquid dishwasher detergent or concentrated powdered detergent.
10
Using the rinse agent dispenser
Keep the rinse agent dispenser filled with a liquid rinse agent. A rinse agent greatly Improves dish drying by helping water fIow off them during the last rinse. A rinse agent also keeps water from forming
droplets and drying as spots or streaks. A small amount of rinse agent automati-
cally releases into the rinse water during the final rinse of each cycle. For best drying results, check dispenser periodically to see if It needs filling.
To check dispenser:
l Check center of Fill Indicator Cap. Clear means it needs filling.
OR
l Remove Fill Indicator Cap. An ???F is visible when dispenser is empty.
To fill dispenser:
The rinse agent dispenser holds 6 ounces (175 mL). Under normal conditions, this lasts about 3 months.
1.Open dishwasher door completely.
2.Remove Fill Indicator Cap.
3.Add rinse agent. Fill to smallest opening in lower part of dispenser only. Overfilling may cause rinse agent to leak out. This will not harm the dishwasher, but could cause oversudsing.
4.Clean up any spilled rinse agent with a damp cloth.
5.Replace Fill lndiitor Cap. Keep it closed tightly.
NOTE: You do not have to wait until the diinser is empty before refilling, but do not overfill it. Your dishwasher is designed to use a liquid rinse agent. You do not need to use a solid or

The simulated wood top can be used as a utility work surface for most kitchen jobs. It is stronger and more easily cleaned than gen- uine wood. The top can be used as a cutting board. Knife marks will be visible, but will not seriously damage top. Rot items from the oven can be placed on the top. Clean top with warm, soapy water. For
Cleaning the exterior
In most cases, regular use of a soft, damp cloth or sponge and a miM detergent is all that is necessary to keep the outside of your dishwasher nice looking and clean.
Cleaning the interior
Hard water minerals may cause a white film to build up on the inside surfaces, especially just beneath the door area. To clean interior: l Apply powdered dishwasher detergent to a
damp sponge to make a paste.
OR
l Use liquid automatic dishwasher detergent and clean with damp sponge.
Wear rubber gloves. Do not use any type of cleanser other than dishwasher detergent because it can cause foaming or sudsing.
NOTE: Follow the ???Removing spots and film??? procedure on page 23 to clean your dishwasher with white vinegar. Remember, this procedure is intended for occasional use only. Vinegar is an acid. Excessive use can damage your dishwasher.

interior
SOLUTION
Remove by washing dishes (after food soil has been removed) with 1 teaspoon to 1 table- spoon of citric acid crystals added to covered section of detergent dispenser. Do not use detergent. Follow with a LIGHT WASH cycle and detergent. If treatment is needed more often than every other month, we recommend installation of an iron removal unit.
Stains will not affect dishwasher performance and can gradually fade over time. Reguhr use of RINSE 81HOLD reduces the chance of staining. lf air in the dishwasher is heated dur- ing the ???dry???portion of the cycle, stains may fade slower than if the AIR DRY option is selected.
Run a RINSE 8 HOLD cycle at least once or twice a day until a full load is accumubted.
Load dishes and glasses so they are stable and do not strike together from washing action. Moving racks in and out slowly will also minimize chipping.
NOTE: Some types of china and glassware are too delicate for automatic diihwashing and should bs hand washed; for example: antiques,
Removing spots and film
