CONSUMERS
We’d like to thank you and congratulate you for making the right decision in purchasing your dishwasher.
This User Guide is designed to be kept near your dishwasher at all times for quick and easy reference.
Features may vary on some dishwasher models. Please read the following tips to insure your dishwasher
is operating at its best performance.
We care about you and your appliance and we want your dishwasher
to do its job for you.
•
HOT WATER –
Your dishwasher
needs hot water for best results.
Water entering the dishwasher
should be at least 120°F
, but your
dishwasher performs
BETTER
with
HIGHER
water temperatures not to
exceed 150°F.
•
WATER HARDNESS –
The
hardness of the water plays an
important part in how well your
dishwasher cleans. In areas where
water is very hard (12 grains or
more), it may be necessary to install
a water softener. If you do not know
the hardness of your water supply,
contact your local water department.
• DETERGENTS –
Only use
detergents labeled for use in
automatic dishwashers.
Never use laundry detergents or
liquid soaps… that will cause
oversudsing and leaks. The amount
of detergent you use depends on the
water hardness and the amount of
soil on your dishes. In most cases,
detergent amounts should be
increased for hard water and heavy
soil.
•
RINSE AGENT –
should always be
used :
– to reduce water spotting.
– to improve drying.
Always check and refill the rinse
agent when necessary. Do not overfill
the rinse agent reservoir.
•
FOR BEST RESULTS –
The cycles
and the options you choose have an
effect on the results you get. Please,
see the Operating Instructions and
Tips for more information.
