This document is a user and care manual for a Frigidaire dishwasher, providing comprehensive information on its operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
The dishwasher is designed to clean dishes by spraying a mixture of hot water and detergent against soiled surfaces. The process involves an initial drain to remove loose soils, followed by filling with water that covers the filter area. Water is then pumped through spray arms, and soil particles are filtered and drained out. This series of steps repeats as needed, with the number of water fills varying based on the selected cycle. The dishwasher incorporates DishSense™ Technology, which assesses the food soil level on dishes and adjusts the cycle accordingly for optimal cleaning.
The dishwasher offers a variety of wash cycles and options to accommodate different cleaning needs:
