Facilité d'utilisation
(See Preparing and Loading Dishes.) • Use fresh detergent. Old detergent is ineffective. • Make sure rinse aid dispenser is filled. • Check to see that proper amount of detergent is being used for cycle selected. Also, check phosphate level. (See Detergent Dispenser.) • Home water pressure may be too low—it should be 20 to 120 pounds per square inch (psi). SOLUTIONS TO COMMON DISHWASHING PROBLEMS Dishwasher Leaks • Use only fresh detergent designed for automatic dishwashers. Measure detergent carefully. Try a different brand. • Spilled rinse aid can cause foam and lead to overflowing. Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth. • Check to see that dishwasher is level. (See Installation Instructions.) Normal Sounds You Will Hear • Normal sounds include water fill, water circulation and motor sounds. • There is a noticeable change in sound when the wash action switches between the lower and middle spray arm. This is normal since each spray arm has its own sound. • It is normal for dishwasher to pause (no sound) when the wash action is switching between the lower and middle spray arms. Etching • Using too much detergent in soft or softened water causes this film that cannot be removed. • Adjust the amount of detergent based on the water hardness. (Check Detergent Chart.) • Lower the water temperature. • Use no heat dry option. Detergent Left in Cups • Detergent may be old. Discard and use fresh detergent. • Be sure water action can reach the dispenser. • Check to see if cycle has been completed. • Make sure items do not prevent the detergent dispenser from opening. Water in Bottom of Tub • Water left in bottom of tub after cycle is complete is not normal. If water remains in the bottom of the tub, dishwasher may not be draining properly. (See Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly.) Dishware Chipped • Load with care and do not overload. (See Preparing and Loading Dishes.) • Place delicate items in top rack. • Place glasses securely against pins and not over pins. • Load items so they are secure and don’t jar loose when moving racks in and out. Move racks in and out slowly. • Make sure tall glasses and stemware will clear top of tub when rack is pushed in. • Fine antique china and crystal should be hand-washed. Vapor at Vent • Water vapor escapes from the vent during the drying part of cycle. This is normal. Dishwasher Won’t Run • Check to see if circuit breaker is tripped or if a fuse is blown. • Make sure water supply is turned on. • Check to see if cycle is set correctly. (See Operating Instructions.) • Is dishwasher set for delay start option? • Make sure door is closed and latched. SOLUTIONS TO COMMON DISHWASHING PROBLEMS Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly • If unit is hooked up to a food waste disposer, make sure the disposer is empty. • Check to see if the knockout plug has been removed from inside the food waste disposer inlet. • Check to see if drain hose is kinked. • Make sure cycle is complete, not in a pause. Dishwasher Won’t Fill • Is water supply turned on? • Does overfill protector move up and down freely? (See Overfill Protector section.) Dishwasher Has an Odor • Soiled dishes left in dishwasher too long can create an odor. Use Rinse & Hold cycle. • There will be a “new” smell when first installed. This is normal. • Check to see if unit is draining properly. (See Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly.) Cycle Takes a Long Time • Is cycle in a water heating delay? • Has the delay start option been selected? • Has the sanitize option been selected? Stains on Tub Interior • Washing large amounts of dishware with tomato based soil can cause a pink/orange apperance. This will not affect performance and will gradually fade over time. Pre-rinsing or using the Rinse & Hold cycle will reduce the chance of staining. Using no heat dry option will lessen staining. Removing Spots and Film Hard water can cause lime deposit buildup on the interior of the dishwasher. Dishes and glasses may also get spots and film for a number of reasons. (See Glassware/Flatware Spotted or Cloudy section.) To remove buildup, spots and film, clean using the following instructions: 1. Load clean dishes and glasses in normal manner. Do not load any metal utensils or silverware. 2. Do not add detergent. 3. Select the NORMAL WASH cycle. Close and latch door. Press START/CANCEL pad. 4. Allow dishwasher to run until it starts the second water fill (approximately 10 minutes). The SENSING light will be off. 5. Unlatch and open door and pour 2 cups of white vinegar into the bottom of dishwasher. 6. Close and latch door and allow cycle to finish. NOTE If these conditions persist, a home water softener should be considered. WARRANTY Your appliance is covered by a one year limited warranty.
