Warranty Information
One-year limited warranty covering defective parts and workmanship when installed and used correctly.
Getting Started: Load dishes, add detergent and rinse aid if needed. Select desired CYCLE and OPTION. Run hot water faucet until it reaches 120°F (49°C), then turn off. Press START/CANCEL and close door firmly within 4 seconds. The dishwasher is quieter than most and features a Direct Feed Wash System. Energy-efficient units may have longer cycles. The dishwasher remembers the last cycle used. Console lights stay on during operation. Options like Hi-Temp Wash, MaxBoost Dry, and Sanitize offer enhanced cleaning and drying. Delay Start allows you to schedule a cycle up to 24 hours in advance. Child Lock prevents accidental changes. Status indicators and window provide cycle information.
