KitchenAid Quiet Scrub TM System

Your KitchenAid dishwasher is equipped with

a unique sound reduction system. The Quiet

ScrubTM System isdesigned to help eliminate

the common sounds heard while a dish-

washer is operating.

Important: MAKE SURE your dishwasher is

properly installed for quiet operation.

Automatic Water

Heating

Your KitchenAid dishwasher offers automatic

water heating. For best dishwashing results,

water should be at least 120°F (49°C) as it

enters the dishwasher. To check the

temperature, use the faucet closest to your

dishwasher.

1. Set the faucet control for the hottest

water possible. Run water into a glass set

in the sink for at least one minute,

allowing it to overflow.

2. Place a candy or meat thermometer in the

glass and read it at the maximum setting.

3. If the temperature is too low, raise the

setting on your water heater.

Energy Saving

Tips

•Usethe ENERGYSAVERDRY (no heat)

option whenever possible. If your

incoming water temperature is 140°F

(60°C) and you don't need your dishes

right away, it pays to air dry them.

•Flash dry dishes. After final rinse, unlatch

door and advance Cycle Selection Dial to

Pots/Pans Cycle; open door and pull out

racks. Because of the heat buildup in

dishware during the wash cycle, water

evaporates quickly from the dishware.

Important: In hard water areas, flash drying

can increase the likelihood of spotting and

filming.

• Run the dishwasher only with a full load.

• Do not rinse dishware before loading.

• Use only the cycle and options that you

need.

• Run the dishwasher at night during the

summer to avoid daytime heat load.

Energy Saver Dry (no heat) can be used

with any Wash Selection to eliminate the

heat during the drying portion of a cycle. The

fan of the drying system will continue to

operate, helping the dishes to air dry

naturally. Under certain conditions, you may

find a few drops of water on the dishware

and silverware at the end of this cycle.

To Cancel A Cycle

The Cycle Selection Dial may be used to

cancel any cycle in progress. If water is

present in the dishwasher, turn the dial

slowly to the drain portion of the wash or

washer anytime before the main detergent

wash portion of the cycle. Tostop the cycle,
