WHAT TO DO
• Press the START pad once and close the door within
4 seconds to start the dishwasher.
• Press the START pad a second time when the
dishwasher is running only if you wish to cancel the cycle.
• Press START and close the door.
• Some models are equipped with leak detection and
the cycle will be cancelled if a leak is detected. The
display will show "LEAK DETECTED". Contact us for
service.
• To turn off the double beep indicator (or re-activate it if
it was previously turned off), press the DRY OPTIONS
pad 5 times within 3 seconds. A triple beep will sound
to indicate the end-of-cycle beep option has been
turned on or off.
• See the Care and cleaning section.
• Make sure inlet water temperature is correct (see the
Using the dishwasher section). Turn on the hot water
faucet nearest the dishwasher, let run until the water
temperature stops rising. Then start the dishwasher
and turn off the faucet. This ensures the entering
water is hot. Select Boost Temp.
• Turn on a faucet. Is water coming out more slowly than usual?
If so, wait until pressure is normal before using your dishwasher.
Normal water pressure to the dishwasher should be 20-120 psi.
• Clean the air gap or flush the disposer.
• Make sure large dishware does not block the
detergent dispenser or the wash arms. See the
Loading the dishwasher section.
• Use high quality detergents such as
Platinum™ ActionPacs™ or
Automatic Dishwashing
• Some models are equipped with leak detection and the cycle
will be cancelled if a leak is detected. The display will
show "LEAK DETECTED". Contact us for service.

Platinum™ Power Dry™ Rinse Aid or

to prevent spots and prevent new film build-up.
• If water is extremely hard, a softener may be required.
• Make sure water temperature is at least 120°F (49°C).
• Load dishwasher as shown in the Loading Place
Settings section.
• Make sure detergent is fresh.
