Periodically check the bottom of the dishwasher tub to see if
any large particles have not gone through the strainer por-
tion of the module.
Wipe the edge of the inner door liner to remove any food soil
splashes which occurred during loading.
The color from some tomato-based food soils has been
known to occasionally adhere to today's dishwasher tubs,
causing temporary discoloration. To help prevent this, when
washing a load of dishes soiled with tomato sauce:
• Scrape excess tomato-based food soils off of dishes, prior
to loading. Do not prewash the dishes, however.
• Run the Heavy Wash cycle.
Exterior
The front of the dishwasher can be cleaned with a soft damp
cloth and liquid spray cleaner. Do not use abrasive powders
or cleaning pads.
Storage/Moving
Fill both detergent cups with a fresh-scented dishwasher
detergent or baking soda and select the Normal Wash cycle.
Allow the dishwasher to complete the cycle. Then turn the
water supply off and drain the dishwasher. To drain, start any

Select Temp Boost to ensure proper water temperature for
activating detergent and dissolving greasy food soils.
Extended Wash (select models) provides a water tempera-
ture check early in the main wash and also in the final rinse
of the cycle. If necessary, the heating element turns on and
the cycle extends until the water is heated to the proper tem-
perature. Select Extended Wash for best results when wash-
ing loads with tough food soils.
Heated Dry turns the heating element on to improve drying
results. Selecting Heated Dry Off (select models) or Energy
Saver (select models) turns the element off to save energy.
Towel drying may be needed with these selections. In mod-
els with plastic interiors, it is normal to notice vapor escap-
ing from the door vents as the heat dries your dishes. Vapor
will escape even if Heated Dry is not selected.
CAUTION: In models with plastic interiors, it is
normal to notice vapor escaping from the door vents in
the upper left corner of the door as the heat dries your
dishes. The vapor is hot and may cause minor burns.
Delay Hours (select models) can be used to delay the start
of the cycle for up to 6 hours. The Delay Start indicator light
glows when the dishwasher is set for a delay start.
The Water Heating indicator light (select models) illumi-
nates when the cycle is being extended to heat the water to
the proper temperature.
