Loading Your Dishwasher: Scrape food from dishes. Load soiled surfaces toward the wash arm. The upper rack is adjustable for different heights. Lightweight plastics and glassware should be secured. Silverware should be placed in the basket with handles up to prevent injury. Avoid nesting items.
Filling Detergent Dispenser: Use automatic dishwasher detergent. Add detergent just before starting. Choose the appropriate fill level (Single, Double, or Triple) based on the cycle and soil level.
Operating Your Dishwasher: Load dishes, add detergent, close and latch the door. Select the desired wash cycle and start. The dishwasher will run automatically.
Cycle Monitor Lights: Indicate the current phase of the cycle (Heating, Wash, Rinse, Dry). All lights out means the cycle is complete.
