Operating Your Dishwasher; Sure-Temp* Water Heating - Kitchenaid Superba 4Kuds220T Guide D'utilisation Et D'entretien

Operating Your Sure-Temp* Water
Dishwasher Heating
Step 1 Load dishes into racks according to
instructions on pages 12-J6.
Do not operate dishwasher without
racks in place. Water leakage and
flooding may result.
Step 2 Add detergent to detergent
dispenser. See page 16-17.
Step 3 Firmly close the door and latch it by
pushing the door handle down.
Step 4 Push button for desired cycle. See
page 8 for description of cycles. The
rest is automatic. The dishwasher
will wash and dry dishware
according to the cycle selected.
Kitchen Aid Whisper Quiet* System
Your KitchenAid dishwasher is equipped
with a unique sound reduction system. The
Whisper Quiet* System is designed to elimi¬
nate the common sounds heard while a
dishwasher is operating. A triple layer of
high density insulation brings you such an
unusually quiet operation, you may wonder
if your dishwasher is actually on.
The first wash portion of the cycle selected
(excluding Rinse and Hold, Light/China and
Quick/Glass cycles} is delayed until the water
is heated to approximately 140°F (60°C). This
means that you can turn your home water
heater down to provide a minimum of 120°F
(49 °C) incoming water to the dishwasher
rather than 140°F (60°C) — saving you
approximately 10% of your total household
water heating energy.
If the water temperature inside the
dishwasher is I20°F (49°C), it will take
about 7 minutes to heat the first water fill
to 140°F (60°C). Higher water temperatures
will shorten the cycle time.
The WATER HEATING LIGHT will glow while
water is being heated in the dishwasher,
prior to the wash portion of the selected
cycle. If the SANI RINSE option is selected, the
WATER HEATING light will come on again
while water is being heated, just prior to the
last rinse of the cycle. No water circulation
takes place during these water heating
periods. The wash and/or rinse portion of the
cycle is delayed until the water reaches the
correct temperature.
For best dishwashing results, water should
be at least 120°F (49°CJ as it enters the
dishwasher. To check the temperature, test it
at the faucet closest to your dishwasher.
1. Setting 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.
