Your Precision Direct Wash System® dishwasher uses
energy efficient motors for the wash and drain
portions of the cycle you select. Each cycle has a
series of water fills and drains for washing and rinsing
dishes. As each cycle begins, you may–or may not–
hear the drain motor.
Registering your product with Frigidaire enhances our ability
to serve you. You can register online at
www.frigidaire.com or by dropping your Product
Registration Card in the mail.
The next sound you will hear is the splashing water as
it enters the tub. Then the lower arm rotates and
circulates water. This is followed by a pause and a
slightly different sound as the upper arms spray water.
If you listen closely, you will hear the change in sound
as the wash action switches from one arm to the
other.

DISHWASHER FEATURES
Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot water and detergent through the spray arms against soiled surfaces.
First, the dishwasher fills with water covering the filter area. Water is then pumped through the filter and spray arms. Soil
particles go down the drain as the water is pumped out and replaced with clean water. The number of water fills will vary
with the cycle being used.

Getting Started
NOTE
1. Load dishwasher (See Preparing and Loading Dishes).
2. Add detergent (See Dishwasher Dispenser &
Detergents).
The dishwasher is programmed to remember your last
cycle so you do not have to reset each time. To start the
dishwasher using the same cycle and options selected on
the previous wash, just press the START/CANCEL pad.
3. Add rinse aid, if needed (See Rinse Aid).
4. Close door to latch.
5. Select desired CYCLE (See Cycle Chart). The indicator
light above the pad will glow when selected.
6. Select desired OPTIONS (See Energy Options). The
indicator light above the pad will glow when selected.
7. Run hot water faucet nearest dishwasher until water
is hot. Turn water off.
Wash Cycle Selections
Cycle times are approximate and will vary with options
selected. Hot water is necessary to activate dishwasher
detergent and melt fatty food soils. An automatic sensor will
check the incoming water temperature and, if it is not hot
enough, the timer will be delayed for automatic water
heating in the main wash of all cycles. This happens even
when HI-TEMP WASH option has not been selected. When
HI-TEMP WASH is selected, an even higher temperature will
be guaranteed to handle heavier soil loads.
8. To start, press START/CANCEL pad.

PREPARING AND LOADING DISHES
Dish Preparation
Scrape away large pieces of food, bones, pits,
toothpicks, etc. The continuous filtered wash system will
remove remaining food particles. Burned-on foods
should be loosened before loading. Empty liquids from
glasses and cups.
Foods such as mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon
juice and tomato based products may cause
discoloration of stainless steel and plastics if allowed to
sit for a long period of time. Unless the dishwasher is to
be operated at once, it is best to rinse off these food
soils.

DISHWASHER DISPENSER & DETERGENTS
Filling the Detergent Dispenser
How much Detergent to use
The detergent dispenser has one covered and one
uncovered cup. Detergent in the uncovered cup falls into
the dishwasher when the door is closed. The covered
cup opens automatically to release detergent.
The amount of detergent to use depends on the water
hardness. Water hardness is measured in grains per gallon.
Using too little detergent can result in poor cleaning and
hard water filming or spotting. Using too much detergent in
soft water can cause a permanent film called etching. Your
local water company, water softener company or county
extension agent can tell you the water hardness in your
area.
•
Use only fresh automatic dishwashing detergent.
Other detergents will cause oversudsing.
•
When using automatic dishwashing detergent tabs,
place one tab in main wash cup and close.
•
•
Add detergent just before starting cycle.
Cover
Store detergent in a cool, dry location. Moist
or caked detergent will not dissolve properly.
Main Wash Cup
Cover Latch
CAUTION
The use of industrial grade detergent can damage the
heating coil and other parts of the dishwasher leading
to damage to the unit and surrounding property. Use
only household grade automatic dishwasher detergents.

If the cover is closed on the Main Wash Cup,
open by pressing the cover latch.

NOTE
For very hard water, detergent alone may not be enough. A water softener is recommended
to improve water quality and dishwashing performance. Try adding more detergent at the beginning of the main wash
portion of the cycle. As a rule, use 1 teaspoon for each grain above 12. Unlatch the door, open slowly and add detergent to
the bottom of the tub. Close the door to latch and the dishwasher will continue through the cycle.

FACTORS AFFECTING PERFORMANCE
Rinse Aid
Water Pressure
Rinse aid greatly improves drying and reduces
water spots and filming. Water "sheets" off dishes
rather than forming water droplets that cling and leave
spots.
The hot water line to dishwasher must provide water
pressure between 20 and 120 psi.
Low water pressure may occur when laundry or showers
are in operation. Wait until water use is reduced before
starting dishwasher.
A dispenser, located next to the detergent cup,
automatically releases a measured amount of rinse aid
during the last rinse. If spotting and poor drying are
problems, increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed by
rotating the dial to a higher number. The dial is located
under the dispenser cap. The indicator will be dark when
full and will show clear when it is time to refill.
Water Temperature
Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and drying results.
Water entering dishwasher should be at least 120°F (49°C)
to give satisfactory results.
To add liquid rinse aid, turn dispenser cap 1/4 turn
counterclockwise and lift out. Pour in rinse aid until liquid
touches the indicated fill level. Replace cap.
To check water temperature entering dishwasher:
• Turn on hot water faucet nearest dishwasher for several
minutes to clear cool water from pipes.
• Hold a candy or meat thermometer in stream of water to
check the temperature.
Do not overfill since this can cause oversudsing.
Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth.
• If temperature is below 120°F (49°C), have a qualified

and motor sounds.
• Check to see if unit is draining properly. (See
Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly.)
• There is a noticeable change in sound when the wash
action switches between the lower and middle spray
arm. This is normal since each spray arm has its own
sound.
Stains on Tub Interior
• Washing large amounts of dishware with tomato based
soil can cause a pink/orange appearance. This will not
affect performance and will gradually fade over time.
