Why won't my dishwasher start?

The most common causes include the door not being properly latched, the dishwasher not being turned on, a delay start being engaged, an interruption of electrical power, or the water supply not being turned on. Check that the door clicks shut, the water supply valve is open, and verify the circuit breaker has not tripped. (Page 38)

How often should I clean the dishwasher filters?

Cleaning frequency depends on your usage habits: 3 times a year if you rinse before loading, 4 times a year if you only scrape before loading, 6 times a year if you do not rinse or scrape, and 12 times a year if you have hard water. You should also clean the filter after washing loads with large amounts of food soils or heavy starch content like potatoes and pasta. (Page 35)

How do I clean the dishwasher filters?

Unscrew the Large Object Trap as illustrated and remove the entire filter system. Remove any residue and clean filters by rinsing under running water — do not use abrasive brushes or steel wool as they may damage the filter. Reinstall the filter system in reverse sequence and lock into place by screwing the Large Object Trap until the marking arrows align. (Page 35)

Do I need to use rinse aid even if my detergent already contains it?

Yes, to achieve proper drying, always use a liquid rinse aid even if your detergent contains a rinse aid or drying additive. Using no rinse aid or setting the dispenser to 0 may result in longer cycle times consuming more energy and water, and the higher temperatures and longer cycle times can damage fine china or glassware.

What is the correct way to load knives and sharp utensils in the dishwasher?

Load knives and other sharp utensils with edges down to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries. Place forks and spoons with their handles down, and knives with their handles up in the silverware basket. Do not allow children to handle or play near knives and sharp utensils. (Pages 7, 16)
