Basic Operation of Your Dishwasher

Loading Dishes: Properly load dishes into the upper and lower racks, ensuring items do not obstruct the spray arms. Utilize designated areas like the Storm Wash+ zone for optimal cleaning. The 3rd rack and cutlery rack are for smaller items and flatware.

Selecting a Cycle: Choose from various wash cycles (e.g., Auto, Normal, Heavy, Delicate, Express 60', Plastic, PotsPans, BabyCare, Night, SelfClean) based on your load. Available options like Lower Rack, Storm Wash+, Hi-Temp Wash, Sanitize, SmartDry, and Delay Start can be selected to customize the wash.

Starting the Dishwasher: After loading and selecting a cycle, close the door and press the start button. The dishwasher will begin its cycle, which may include pre-wash, main wash, rinses, and drying phases.
