Getting started with your dishwasher
Before You Start
Set up your dishwasher
Make sure the top rack, bottom rack and silverware basket are in place prior to operating the dishwasher. See OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS in the Use & Care Manual.
Fill Rinse Aid dispenser
Rinse aid greatly improves drying and reduces water spots. Twist off the rinse aid dispenser cap and fill until the indicator reaches full, then replace the cap.
If installed with a garbage disposal
Ensure the knock-out plug is removed so the dishwasher can properly drain. See the Installation Instructions for further details.
You're In Control
Your dishwasher controls
To begin using your dishwasher, open the door and select one of the cycle options from the control panel. The Wash and Dry settings can be adjusted based on the cycle chosen. Indicator lights illuminate as each cycle or option is selected.
WASH
DRY
1. The Favorite program saves preferred cycle and options to a one-touch control. See Use & Care Manual for more information.
2. Select Normal for light to heavily soiled loads.
3. Select Quick (30 minutes) for lightly soiled loads only.
4. Eco uses less energy by washing lightly soiled loads with less water and the air dry setting.
5. Select Delicate for lightly soiled China, Crystal or other delicate items.
6. Select Heavy+ for heavily soiled loads of pots, pans, casserole dishes and dinnerware.
7. Select Sanitize to sanitize your dishes and glassware.
+ Cycle uses a soil sensing feature to determine the best wash performance. The soil sensing feature automatically engages when selecting the Heavy, Normal, or Eco wash cycles.
8. DRY provides the choice of MaxBoost™ (extended dry time), Heat (normal dry time) or Air (air dry only). Touch and slide to select a dry setting based on the touch release point. Updates to the cycle time display in the status window. Releasing the slide input between dry programs will select the Medium Dry program.
9. Delay sets a delayed starting time to begin the wash cycle from 1-12 hours.
10. The Status Window displays remaining time in cycle, delay time setting or "close door" reminder.
11. Press START and close the dishwasher door immediately (within 4 seconds) to start the cycle.
12. Press CANCEL to stop a cycle. The unit will go into a stand-by mode and all LED lights will turn off.
13. Control Lock locks the controls to avoid accidental button presses.
The indicator lights provide cycle status information showing Delayed (delay start) ?, and Sanitize (clean with sanitized option) ✔️.
Quick Care
A little love goes a long way
Your Dishwasher has a glass trap filter to catch excess food particles. Clean the trap monthly to keep your dishwasher working as expected. See Emptying the glass trap below.
Be gentle
Clean the interior with warm water and mild soap using a dishcloth or sponge. Use Frigidaire ReadyClean™ Stainless Steel cleaner, available on Frigidaire.com, and wipe with the grain to keep the exterior clean and shiny.
Emptying the glass trap
- Press down on the center of the wash arm and rotate the glass trap handle clockwise to disengage.
- Lift the spray arm and glass trap out of the dishwasher.
- Empty the glass trap.
- Place the assembly back into position, press down on the arm at the center and rotate the glass trap handle counterclockwise back into place.
- Avoid damage and verify that the glass trap and wash arm are snapped in place. See the Use & Care Manual for more information.
FAQS
Why won't my dishwasher start?
To start a new wash cycle or resume a cycle after adding a dish, press the START button immediately before closing the dishwasher door. If the door remains opened after pressing the button, the unit will not start. Open the door, press the START button again and immediately close the door.
What do I do if my dishes are not as dry as expected?
Try using a rinse aid if your dishes are not as dry as you like. These products help eliminate spots and residue and help with drying and cleaning performance. You can also select the MaxBoost™ setting which extends drying cycle time while improving drying performance.
Why aren't my dishes clean?
Avoid nesting dishes and silverware or overcrowding the dishwasher. Proper loading of racks and silverware baskets improves cleaning and drying performance. See the Use & Care manual for proper loading procedures.
