USING YOUR DISHWASHER Hot Water is Essential
For proper performance of your dishwasher, hot water is necessary to activate the dishwasher detergent and melt fatty food soils, Set your water heater to deliver 140°F water to the dishwasher. If, for any reason, the temperature of the water being delivered by the water heater should be below 140°F, the AccuTemp Option on your dishwasher will heat the water until the proper temperature is reached.

LoadingYour Dishwasher
Seldom will households have identical dishes; the number and type of articles used will vary daily. Your dishwasher is designed to be flexible and accommodate a wide variety of dishes and utensils. The following instructions and pictures will help you become familiar with your dishwasher. With experience, you will learn the best arrangement for your particular needs. General Recommendations � Place all items on racks so they are separated and face the center to insure the water spray will reach the soiled surfaces. Do not allow items to extend out of the racks. � Make sure the movement of the upper and lower spray arms is not blocked by items hanging below the lower rack or tall articles in the upper rack. � Insure the free flow of water to the detergent cup by not blocking it with large items. � Larger, flat, lightweight items (such as plastic covers) may be wedged next to the silverware basket or along the sides and back of the racks. � The wash tower rises through the center of the lower rack during the cycle. For the best cleaning results, avoid blocking it or loading tall articles next to it.

To check water temperature, turn on the hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher. Let water run into a glass until it is as hot as possible, then check with a candy or meat thermometer, If the temperature at the faucet is below 140°F (60°C), have a qualified person raise the water heater thermostat setting, For more information, see page 11.

Preparing Dishes
� It is not necessary to rinse dishes before placing them in your Jenn-Air dishwasher. Simply scrape off bones and large pieces of food. � Foods that have been burned onto cooking utensils will need to be scraped or soaked. � Certain foods, such as mustard, mayonnaise, lemon juice, vinegar, salt or dressings may cause stainless steel flatware to rust and pit if allowed to remain in contact with the surface for a period of time. Therefore, it is best to rinse these food soils off stainless steel flatware unless the dishwasher is to be operated soon after loading. � If your dishwasher drains into a food waste disposer, make certain the disposer is completely empty before starting the dishwasher to provide for proper draining.
