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.
Dishwasher BEEPS

This is a reminder that your
dishwasher door has been left

continue beeping until you
press Start and close the door.

seconds. A triple beep will sound to indicate the end-of-cycle
beep option has been turned on or off.
Dishes and flatware
not clean

Low inlet water temperature 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 Temp.
Water pressure is temporarily
low
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.

installed
Refer to the Installation Instructions for proper drain line
installation.

dispenser or the wash arms. See the LOADING section.
