Getting Started
Your Kenmore dishwasher filters 1OO% of the
water for optimum cleaning. The wash system
uses alternating arms to save water and energy
and includes a heavy-duty stainless steel food
disposer that grinds up large food particles.
How the wash system works
1. Load the dishwasher (See Preparing and Loading
Dishes).
2. Hot water enters the dishwasher, covers the filter, and
rises to the bottom of the heater clips.
3. Detergent is dispensed at the appropriate time and
mixed with the hot water. This mixture is pumped
through the lower spray arm and sprays against the
soiled surfaces of the dishes to remove food particles.
4. Water passes through the fine mesh primary filter
where food soil is removed and the clean water is then
recirculated.
5. Ports under the lower wash arm direct the food soil
through a secondary filter into a collection chamber.
6. Food soil is held in the collection chamber until it is
flushed away during the drain cycle.
7. Clean, hot water enters the dishwasher and the
sequence is repeated.
8. Beginning with the third water fill, the wash action
switches between the lower spray arm and middle
spray arm in 90 second intervals. You may notice a
change in sound as the wash action pauses and
switches to the other arm.
9. The dishwasher may pause during the cycle while
water is being heated. Wash action will continue
during this time.
10. Rinse aid is automatically dispensed in the final rinse
to aid in drying.
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). The indicator
will glow when selected.
5. Select desired OPTIONS (See Option Selections). The
indicator will glow when selected.
6. If using WASH DELAY, follow Delay Start instructions
on page 8.
7. Run hot water faucet nearest dishwasher until water is
hot. Turn water off.
8. To start, press START/CANCEL pad.
Status Indicator Lights
The WASHING light comes on at the beginning of cycle
and remains on until the end of the final rinse.
The DRYING light indicates the drying portion of the cycle.
The light will come on when either drying option is se-
lected.
When the SANITIZE option is selected, the SANITIZED light
will glow when the SANITIZE cycle is finished. If the
dishwasher did not properly sanitize the dishes, the light
will not come on. This can happen if the cycle is inter-
rupted. The light will remain on until the door is opened.
The CLEAN light will come on at end of cycle and remain
on until door is opened.
