dw_oper_long	   DISHWASHER DETAILED OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
			(by David S. Lawyer, May 1995 )

START UP PROCEDURE:
0. If it hasn't been used for over a month:  Inspect the solution
   in the yellow EL detergent tank.  Clean it out if slime has formed.
1. If the door is closed (down):  Open it (see "Opening the Door").
2. If garbage is visible inside it: Remove and clean the filter trays.
3. Close (lower) the door all the way down by pushing down on the
   round bar (door handle).
4. If the knob switch on the control panel was in "auto" you should
   hear rinse water being sprayed.  If not, turn the switch to "auto".
5. Wait about 45 seconds for the spray water to warm up (feel the pipe
   on the right rear of the dish washer).
6. Close the drain valve at the bottom.  If its already closed then
   it's likely that the last person using the machine neglected to
   drain out the used wash water.  Turn off the machine by turning the
   switch to "manual", open the drain valve, wait for the water to
   drain, and go to step 4.
7. Immediately Stir up the white undissolved detergent in the bottom
   of the yellow EL tank on the wall.  If no white detergent is
   visible add about a cup and stir. 
8. When it's been a minute after you closed the drain valve (step 6.)
   you may turn on the electric water heater:  Turn red knob to say
   160 deg.  If the small white pilot light above the red knob fails
   to light (indicates heat is on) press the small red reset button.
9. After a few minutes you will hear an initial wash cycle begin.  
   Add about 1/2 cup of detergent (or stir up undissolved detergent).
10.At the end of this wash cycle the door will suddenly pop up.
11.Look at the temperature gauge on top for wash water.  You may want 
   to wait for the wash water to heat up to 160 deg before continuing.

WASH PROCEDURE:
1. When a rack of dishes is ready to be washed, push it inside the
   washer and lower the door.  It will wash for 50 seconds and then 
   rinse for 10 seconds.  After a few more seconds the door pops up.
2. If this is the first rack:  During the rinse, the ball in the tube 
   next to the green rinse liquid should rise up.  If it doesn't turn
   the adjusting screw until it does.
3. If this is about the 7th rack washed since last adding (or stirring
   up) detergent: Add 1/4 cup or more of detergent to yellow tank
   and stir (or simply stir up undissolved detergent if it's there).
4. Remove rack of cleaned dishes.
5. If there are more dishes to wash go to step 1.  If you are done
   washing dishes go to the "Shutdown Procedure" below.

SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE:
1. Turn red heater dial to "off".  Otherwise the heater may burn out.
2. Open the drain valve and turn switch from "auto" to "hand" 
3. If the filter trays contain garbage: Lift them out and clean them
   using the sprayer over the garbage disposal.
4. Clean machine as needed.  The wash water tank (below the filter
   trays) should be cleaned every few months.
4. Leave the door open so that the internal components may dry out.

OPENING the DOOR:  The door pops up by itself when washing is
complete.  It should be left open when the machine is not in use so
there should be no need to ever manually open the door.  However it
only takes a few seconds to manually open it: Hold the door down with
the handle (a round horizontal metal bar) while pushing on a white
plastic roller on the top of the washer to the right rear.  Then while
still holding the white roller let the door up by releasing pressure 
you are putting on the handle to hold the door down.  Once the door
starts up, you may let go of the white roller.	A split second later
you may let go of the handle too and watch the door pop up by itself.
