IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING
When using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:

For your Safety

• Use your dishwasher only as instructed in this Use and Care Manual.
• This Manual does not cover every possible condition and situation that may occur. Use common sense and caution when installing, operating, and maintaining any appliance.
• NSF-certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments.
• DISHWASHER MUST BE ELECTRICALLY GROUNDED. This appliance must be connected to a grounded, metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on this appliance. Read the Installation Instructions for details.
• This dishwasher is designed to operate on regular household current (120V, 60Hz). Use a circuit equipped with a 15-ampere fuse or circuit breaker. Use a 20-ampere fuse if the dishwasher is connected to a food disposer.
• Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are in their proper place.
• Keep young children and infants away from the dishwasher when it is operating.
• Do not let children abuse, sit, stand, or play on the door or racks of a dishwasher.
• To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher.
• Use only detergents and rinse agents recommended for use in a dishwasher.
• Store dishwasher detergent and rinse agents out of the reach of children.
• If the dishwasher drains into a food disposer, make sure the disposer is empty before running the dishwasher.
• Do not wash plastic items unless marked: “Dishwasher Safe” or equivalent. Check with the manufacturer for recommendations if not marked. Items that are not marked dishwasher safe may melt and create a potential fire hazard.
• When loading items to be washed:
  • Locate sharp items and knives so that they are not likely to damage the door seal or tub.
  • Load sharp items and knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Use care when unloading the dishware when the SANITIZE option has been selected. Contents may be hot to the touch immediately after the end of the cycle.
• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using the dishwasher, turn on all hot water faucets and let water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. HYDROGEN GAS IS FLAMMABLE. Do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
• Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline, or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• Disconnect the electrical power to the dishwasher before servicing.
• Repairs should be done by a qualified technician.
• To avoid entrapment and/or suffocation, remove the door or door latch mechanism from any dishwasher that is discarded or not in use.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

FEATURES AT A GLANCE

Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot water and detergent through the spray arms against soiled surfaces. First, the dishwasher drains for a few seconds to remove soils dropped while loading, then fills with water covering the filter area. Water is then pumped through the spray arms. Soil particles go through and across the filter and down the drain as the water is pumped out. This series of steps is repeated as needed. The number of water fills varies with the cycle being used.

Features may vary according to model..

Operating Instructions

Getting Started

1. Load Dishwasher (See Preparing and Loading Dishes).
2. Add detergent (See Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents).
3. Add Rinse Aid, if needed (See Rinse Aid).
4. Select desired CYCLE (See Cycle Chart).
5. Select desired OPTION (See Energy Options).
6. Run the hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher until the water is hot. Turn the water off.
7. To start, press the START/CANCEL pad and close the door.

NOTE

Your dishwasher uses DishSenseTM Technology to understand how much food is on the dishes and then adjusts the cycle accordingly.

CAUTION

Property Damage Hazard

Before starting the dishwasher, be sure that the water is connected and turned on. Failure to do so may cause damage to the pump seal and result in water leakage.

Wash Cycle Selections

Cycle times are approximate and will vary with options selected. Hot water is necessary to activate dishwasher detergent and melt fatty food soils. An automatic sensor will check the incoming water temperature and, if it is not hot enough, the cycle will be lengthened for automatic water heating in the main wash and final rinse of all cycles. This happens even when the HI-TEMP WASH option has not been selected. When HI-TEMP WASH is selected, an even higher temperature will be reached to handle heavier soil loads.

Recommended Cycle for typical use

The Normal cycle with its factory default options of normal temperature and heated dry together provides the bestall-aroundd performance. This cycle selection is recommended for everyday use and is suitable for a large range of both dish load sizes and food quantities remaining on those dishes.

Option Selections

Wash Pressure

The programmed cycles default to the “surpressure on, which varies the pressure optimally for the cycle’s intended normal use. If, for some special circumstance, either a very low “spray” or very high “scour” pressure is desired, that may be selected. Due to wash cycle optimization, some pressure options are not selectable in all wash cycles.

Wash Temp

The programmed cycles default to the “normal” temperature option; to choose HI-TEMP or SANITIZE, press the WASH TEMP pad again.

Hi-Temp Wash Option

HI-TEMP WASH option is selected by pressing the WASH TEMP pad; the dishwasher heats water in the main wash to approximately 140°F (60°C). This increase in water temperature helps dishwasher detergent remove food grease and soil from dishes more effectively and aids in the Recommended Cycle for typical drying.

Sanitize Option

To sanitize your dishes and glassware, select the SANITIZE option by pressing the WASH TEMP pad. When selected, the light will come on and remain on until the end of the cycle. The water temperature in the final rinse will be raised to 155°F (68°C) and will be maintained at that temperature for 9 minutes. This option is available in Heavy and Normal Cycles. Only these sanitization cycles have been designed to meet NSF requirements.

The cycle time will be extended until the proper water temperature is reached. Washing action will continue during the water heating delay. For best results, the incoming water temperature should be at least 120°F (49 °CC).

The sanitization criteria may not be satisfied if there is an interruption of the cycle, power failure, or if the incoming water temperature is below 120°F (49 °CC). To turn off the SANITIZE option, press the Wash Temp pad. The SANITIZE light will turn off.

Heat Dry

The HEATED DRY option,, in combination with rinse a,,id will enhance drying performanTHE ce. THE HEATED DRY option is available on all cycles.

Air Dry

The AIR DRY option will reduce the temperature in the hot rinse of the selected wash cycle. This option will slightly decrease energy usage but will increase the likelihood that the dishware will not be dry.

My Favorite Cycle

The MY FAVORITE CYCLE option allows you to program your preferred cycle and options into one button. Once programmed, simply pressing the MY FAVORITE CYCLE button followed by the START/CANCEL pad will select the programmed cycle and options.
To Program the MY FAVORITE CYCLE button:

1. Select your preferred cycle and options
2. Hold the MY FAVORITE CYCLE button for 3 seconds.

The LED over the MY FAVORITE pad turns on, indicating the MY FAVORITE CYCLE option has been programmed. To change the MY FAVORITECYCLE option, simply repeat steps one and two above.

Delay Start

The DELAY START option allows you to automatically delay starting your dishwasher from 1-24 hours.
To activate the DELAY START pad until the desired delay time shows in the STSTATUS windowand press START.

To cancel the DELAY START option and begin the cycle before the delay period is over, press the START/CANCEL pad until the status window shows cycle duration. Press START/CANCEL again and close the door.

Child Lock Controls

To prevent children from accidentally changing the dishwasher cycle or starting the dishwasher, lock the dishwasher controls by pressing the DELAY START pad for 3 seconds and releasing. The status window will display “loc”. To unlock the controls, press the DELAY START pad until “loc” goes out.

To Cancel a Cycle

To cancel a cycle at any time, open the door and press the START/CANCEL pad until the 1-minute drain feature is initiated. Close the door, and the drain cycle will begin. You will hear a tone for the start and completion of the drain cycle. When the door is opened, the last cycle selected will be displayed. If desired, a new cycle can now be selected by pressing the START/CANCEL pad, and upon closing the door, the cycle will begin.

Status Window

The STATUS window, available on some models, indicates the following activity:

• 1-24…………. Number of delayed start hours. The last hour will count down in minutes.
• CL……………….. Close dishwasher door. The status indicator lights will also flash to indicate the current cycle status.
• MINUTES………. Number of minutes left in cycle (1-199).
• L0—-L6……………. Level of Rinse Aid dosage.

In the unlikely event the dishwasher malfunctions, the STATUS window may display one of the following codes: “i10” – refethe the r to the dishwasher won’t run or fill, and try to solve the problem.   Emi20” – replace the r to dishwasher does not drain properly and try to solve the problem. If, after the check, the problem remains, or if the status window shows other error codes, contact the Frigidaire Customer Care Center at 1-800-944-9044. They will be able to assist in troubleshooting the problem and/or locating an authorized service technician, if needed.

Status Indicator Lights

The CLEAN light will remain on until the door is opened.

When the SANITIZE option is selected and the criterion is met, the Sanitized indicator will display and remain on until the door is opened. If the sanitization criterion is not achieved, the indicator will not display. This can happen if the cycle is interrupted or if the sanitization temperature cannot be reached due to incoming water temperature significantly be1200°FF200F.

Green Light

When the GREEN LIGHT illuminates on the f, this indicates that the wash cycle is complete.

Cycle Chart

NOTE*

The time remaining may suddenly increase or drop several minutes. This means that the dishwasher received input from the Smart Sensor concerning the soil load and has automatically adjusted the cycle length.

PREPARING AND LOADING DISHES

Dish Preparation

Scrape away large pieces of food, bones, pits, toothpicks, etc. The continuously filtered wash fluid will remove remaining food particles. Burned-on foods should be loosened before loading. Empty liquids from glasses and cups. Foods such as mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice, and tomato-based products may cause discoloration of stainless steel and plastics if allowed to sit for a long period. Unless the dishwasher is to be operated at once, it is best to pre-rinse or use the rinse only cycle to rinse off these food soils.

• Load racks so that large items do not prevent the detergent dispenser from opening.
• Check the manufacturer’s recommendations before washing the items in question.
• If the dishwasher drains into a Food Disposer, be sure the ure disposetely empty before starting the dishwasher.

Loading the Upper Rack

Features and appearance of racks and the silverware basket may vary from your model.

The upper rack is designed for flexibility in loading a wide variety of items, including cups, glasses, stemware, small plates, bowls, etc.

Load glasses and plastic items in the upper rack only. Load items with odsends end facing down for better cleaning and draining. Damage may occur if delicate items touch each other during dishwasher operation.

Long-handled knives and utensils can be placed in the upper rack. Be sure nothing protrudes through the bottom of the rack to block the ock rotation of the middle spray arm.

Adjustable Upper Rack

The top rack height can be easily adjusted to accommodate loading taller dishes in either rack. To raise the rack to the upper position, lift the rack until both sides are at the same height, and the rack will secure in place. Ensure that the rack remains level from front to back with both sides at the same height. To the owner, rack lift the rack slightly, then push down and release.

Fold-down Tines Upper Rack

The fold-down tines in the upper racks make it easy to load those extra-large and hard-to-fit items. The tines may be left up for normal use or folded down for more flexible loading.

Loading the Bottom Rack

Features and appearance of racks and the silverware basket may vary from your model.

The bottom rack is best for plates, saucers, bowls, and cookware. Large items should be placed along the edge so they do not block the spray arm rotation. For best results, place bowls, casseroles, and sauce pans with surfaces facing down or toward the center. Tilt slightly for better drainage. Make sure tall items do not block spray arm rotation.

Be sure pan handles do not protrude through the bottom of the rack and block the spray arm rotation.

Fold-down Tines Bottom Rack

The fold-down tines in the lower and upper racks make it easy to load those extra-large ha hard-to-fit items. The tines may be left up for normal use or folded down for more flexible loading.

Cup Shelf/Stemware Holders

The Cupshelf holder can be folded down to be used to load two levels of cups, juice glasses, and other short items, or fold down both and use for long items such as utensils and spatulas. Fold up to load tall glasses.

The Stemware holder is used to securely hold your wine glasses in place for the best wash. To properly secure your glass,, simply press the stem of the glass into the center of the Cupshelf..Thee rubber pieces will secure around the stem to hold the glass in place.

Soft Grip Rack

The Soft Grip Rack is used to secure in place glassware and those plastic items that may move around with the water from the spray arm.

Loading the Silverware Basket

  CAUTION

Load sharp items (knives, skewers, etc.) pointing down. Failure to do so may result in injury.

Features and appearance of racks and the silverware basket may vary from your model. Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom rack or take the basket out for loading on a counter or table.

In some modesty baby bottles, corn cob holders, etc., can be placed in a covered section. Close the cover to hold small items in plaUse the he suggested loading patterns, as shown,  to increase the washability of the silverware. Be sure nothing protruthroughgthehe the bottom of the basket or rack to block the spray arm. Do not mix stainless steel to avoid damaging the silver finish.

When covers are up, mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing up and some down to avoid nesting. Water spray cannot reach nested items.

To add or remove items after the wash cycle starts, unlatch the door and wait a few seconds untilhe the wash action stops before opening.

• Add the item and wait a few seconds to allow cold air to slowly expand inside the dishwasher.
• Close the door firmly to latch resume thehe e cycle.

DISHWASHER DISPENSER & DETERGENTS

Filling the Detergent Dispenser

The detergent dispenser has a main wash cup where you will add your detergent or detergent tab.

• Use only fresh automatic dishwashing detergent. Other detergents may cause oversudsing.
• When using an automatic dishwashing detergent tablet, place one tablet in the wash cup and close.
• Add detergent just before starting the cycle.
• Store detergent in a cool, dry location. Moist or caked detergent may not dissolve properly.

  CAUTION

The use of industrial-grade detergent can damage parts of the dishwasher, leading to damage to the unit and surrounding property. Use only household-grade automatic dishwasher detergents.

NOTE

Hard water may cause lime deposit buildup on the interior of the dishwasher. For cleaninstructionsnss, see sethe ethe  “Removing Spots and Filming” section.

How much Detergent to use

The amount of detergent to use depends on the water hardness. Water hardness is measured in grains per gallon. Using too little detergent can result in poor cleaning and hard water filming or spotting. Using too much detergent in soft water can cause etching to some glassware, which is surface damage that appears like a film but cannot be wiped off. Your local water company, water softening company, or your county extension agent can tell you the water hardness in your area.

NOTE

Detergent tablets and All-In-One packs may not dissolve completely if used with the QUICK WASH cycles. If one of the products is used, place the tab or pack directly on the bottom of the tub in a corner before starting the dishwasher, rather than placing these products in the dispenser.

NOTE

To achieve the best results from your dishwasher, visit www.dishwashingexpert.com for general tips regarding the performance and operation of your dishwasher.

Dosage of detergent

Place a single detergent tablet or packet into the detergent dispenser compartment.

Detergent Usage Chart

NOTE

For very hard water, detergent alone may not be enough. A water softener is recommended to improve water quality and dishwashing performance. Try adding more detergent at the beginning of the main wash portion of the cycle. As a rule, use 1 teaspoon for each grain above 12. Unlatch the door, open slowly, and add detergent to the bottom of the tub. Close the door to the laundry center, and the dishwasher will continue through the cycle.

FACTORS AFFECTING PERFORMANCE

Rinse Aid

Rinse aid greatly improves drying, reduces water spots, filming. With it water “sheets” off dishes rather than forming water droplets that cling and leave spots.

A dispenser, located next to the detergent cup, automatically releases a measured amount of rinse aid during the last rinse. If spotting and poor drying are problems, increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed. The indicator will be dark when full and will show clear when it is time to refill.

To add liquid rinse aid, open the cover. Pour in rinse aid until liquid touches the indicated fill level. Close the cover.

Do not overfill since this can causeover-sudsinggg. Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth. The dispenser holds enough for 11 to 66 washes, depending onthe  setting.

IMPORTANT

Before starting a cycle, run hot water to clear cool water from the pipe.

The HEAT DRYoptiono,n in combination with rinse a,, id will enhance drying performance. The energy required to use the HEAT DRY option costs pennies per cycle. You may choose not to select the HEAT DRY option; however, you will have items in your dish load that will not be completely dry at the end of the cycle.

How to adjust the rinse aid dosage

Press and hold the RINSE ONLY and DELAY START pad for 5 seconds until the display shows rinse aid level. Pressing the DELAY START pad increases the increment level (L0-L6).

Once the rinse-aid level reaches L6, the display will start back at level L0. Pressing the START button or just pausing for a few seconds confirms the rinse aid level setting: the display shows the duration of the cycle.

Water Pressure

The hot water line tothe  dishwasher must provide water pressure between 20 and 120 psi. Low water pressure may occur when laundry or showers are in operation. If you experience poor wash performance,e you may need to wait until water use is reduced before starting the dishwasher.

Water Temperature

Hot water is needed for the best dishwashing and drying results. Water entering the dishwasher should be at least120°FF 49 °CC) to give satisfactory results.
To check the water temperature entering the dishwasher:

• Turn on the hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher for several minutes to clear cool water from the system.
• Hold a candy or meat thermometer in the water stream to check the temperature.If thee temperature is below 120°FF (49 °C), have a qualified person raise the water heater thermostat setting.

CARE AND CLEANING

Outside – Occasionally wipe with a mild nonabrasive detergent and water. Rinse and dry.

Care of Drain Air Gap

If a drain air gap was installed for your built-in dishwasher, check to make sure it is clean so the dishwasher will drain properly. A drain air gap is usually mounted on the countertop and can be inspected by removing the cover. This is not part of your dishwasher and is not covered by warranty.

Clean the Cylinder Fine Filter

The Cylinder Fine Filter is designed to collect some big items such as broken glass, bone,,s and pits. The Cylinder Fine Filter needs to be cleaned to maximize wash performance.

Remove the Cylinder Fine Filter as shown, rotate it counterclockwise, lift it out, empty and clean it by rinsing under running water,,r and replace it. Use of a sponge or bottle brush may be necessary to remove all food residue.

Clean the Coarse Filter

Take out the Cylinder Fine Filter and remove the Coarse Filter from the dishwasher tub bottom. Flush the Coarse Filter by holding it under running water and replace it.

• Check to see that the proper amount of detergent is being used for fforthe cycle selected. Also, check the phosphate level. (See Detergent Dispenser.)
• Home water pressure may be too low – it should be 20 to 120 pounds per square inch (psi).

Dishware Chipped

• Load with care and do not overload. (See Preparing and Loading Dishes).
• Place delicate items in the 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 the top of the tub when the rack is pushed in.
• Fine antique china and crystal should be hand-washed.

Water at the Bottom of the Tub

• Water left in the tub bottom after the cycle is complete is not normal. If water remains at the bottom of the tub, the dishwasher may not be draining properly. (See Dishwasher Does not Drain Properly).

Dishware Stained or Discolored

• Tea and coffee can stain cups. Remove the stains by hand washing in a solution of 1/2 cup (120 ml) bleach and one quart (1 L) of warm water. Rinse thoroughly.
• Iron deposits in water can cause a yellow or brown film. A special filter installed in the water supply line will correct this problem. (See Removing Spots and Film).
• Aluminum utensils can leave gray/black marks when they rub against other items. Load Properly.
• Certaihighly acidicid foods can cause discoloration of stainless steel and plastics if allowed to sit for a long period. Use the Rinse Only cycle or rinse by hand if not operating the dishwasher at once.
• Mixing stainless steel and silver utensils in a silverware basket can cause pitting of the stainless steel blades. Avoid mixing stainless steel and silver.

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?

Normal Sounds You Will Hear

• Normal sounds include water flow, water circulation, and motor sounds.

Dishwasher Leaks

• Use only fresh detergent designed for automatic dishwashers. Measure detergent carefully. Try a different brand.

Etching

• Using too much detergent, especially in soft or softened water, causes damage that looks like a film but cannot be removed.
• Adjust the amount of detergent based on the water hardness. (Check Detergent Chart).
• Lower the water temperature.

Detergent Left in Dispenser Cup

• Detergent may be old. Discard and use fresh detergent.
• Be sure the dish load doesn’t block spray from entering the detergent cup.
• Check to see if the cycle has been completed.
• Make sure items do not prevent the detergent dispenser from opening.

Vapor at Vent

• Spilled rinse aid can cause foam and lead to overflowing. Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth.
• Check to see that the dishwasher is level. (See Installation Instructions).

Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly

• If the 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 the drain hose is kinked.
• Make sure the cycle is complete, not in a pause.

The dishwasher has an Odor.

• Soiled dishes left in the dishwasher too long can create an odor. Use Rinse Only cycle.
• There will be a “new” smell when first installed. This is normal.
• Check to see if the unit is draining properly. (See Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly).

Stains on Tub Interior

• Washing large amounts of dishware with tomato-based soil can cause a pink/orange appearance. This will not affect performance and will gradually fade over time. Pre-rinsing or using the Rinse Only cycle will reduce the chance of staining. Using the air 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 removebuild-upp useethe the  following: clean dishes and glasses in a normal manner. Do not load any metal utensils or silverware.
