Select a cycle and option.

Start dishwasher.
NOTE: If the Start/Resume button
is located on the top of door, push
door firmly closed within
3 seconds of pressing START/
RESUME.
Items should be loaded with soiled surfaces facing down and
inward to the spray as shown. This will improve cleaning and
drying results.
Avoid overlapping items like bowls or plates that may trap food.
Place plastics, small plates and glasses in the upper rack.
Wash only plastic items marked "dishwasher safe."
To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation, load
dishes so they do not touch one another. Make sure lightweight
load items are secured in the racks.
Improper loading can cause dishes to be chipped or damaged.
When loading glasses or mugs, it is best to load these items in
between rows of tines instead of loading them over tines.
When loading silverware, always place sharp
items pointing down. Mix items in each
section of the basket with some pointing up
and some down to avoid nesting. Spray
cannot reach nested items.
Add Detergent
NOTE: If you do not plan to run a wash cycle soon, run a rinse
cycle. Do not use detergent.
Use automatic dishwasher detergent only. Add powder, liquid
or tablet detergent just before starting a cycle.
Fresh automatic
dishwasher detergent
results in better
cleaning. Store tightly
closed detergent
container in a cool, dry
place.
