Operating Instructions
Getting Started with the FGID2466QF7A
- Load Dishwasher (See Preparing and Loading Dishes).
- Add detergent (See Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents).
- Add Rinse Aid, if needed (See Rinse Aid).
- Run hot water faucet nearest dishwasher until water is hot. Turn water off.
- Select desired CYCLE (See Cycle Chart).
- Select desired OPTION (See Option Selections).
- To start, press START/CANCEL pad and close door immediately
To Start a Cycle
When cycle and options are selected, LEDs of selected cycle and options are illuminated. The status window displays the cycle time and then displays ‘Press Start’.
To start the cycle, press START/CANCEL pad and close the dishwasher door immediately.
The status window displays ‘Close door’ after the START/CANCEL pad is pressed.
A tone will sound indicating the cycle is successfully started after door is closed.
Your dishwasher uses a DishSense TM Technology to understand how much food is on the dishes and then adjusts the cycle accordingly.
Property Damage Hazard
Before starting dishwasher be sure that the water is connected and turned on. Failure to do so may cause damage to the pump seal and result in water leakage.
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 cycle will be lengthened for automatic water heating in the main wash and final rinse of all cycles. This happens even when HI-TEMP WASH option has not be selected. When HI-TEMP WASH is selected, an even higher temperature will be reached to handle heavier soil loads.
Recommended Cycle for typical use:
The Normal cycle with its factory default options of normal temperature and heated dry together provide the best all-around performance. This cycle selection is recommended for everyday use and is suitable for a large range of both dish load sizes and food quantities remaining on those dishes.
Option Selections
Wash Pressure
The programmed cycles default to the “surge” pressure option which varies the pressure optimally for the cycle’s intended normal use. If, for some special circumstance, either a very low “spray” or very high “scour” pressure is desired that may be selected by pressing the WASH PRESSURE pad. Due to wash cycle optimization, some pressure options are not selectable in all wash cycle.
Wash Temp
The programmed cycles default to the “normal” temperature option, to choose HI-TEMP or SANITIZE press WASH TEMP pad again.
Hi-Temp Wash Option
HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, by pressing the WASH TEMP pad. The dishwasher heats water in the main wash to approximately 140oF (60oC) and increases the temperature higher in the final rinse to help with the drying stage.
This helps dishwasher detergent remove food grease and soil from dishes more effectively and aids in drying performance by adding additional rinse aid and increasing the water temperature.
Sanitize Option
To sanitize your dishes and glassware, select SANITIZE option, by pressing WASH TEMP pad. When selected, the light will come on and remain on until end of cycle. The water temperature in the final rinse will be raised to 155oF (68oC) and will maintain that temperature for 9 minutes. This option is available in Heavy and Normal Cycles.
Only these sanitization cycles have been designed to meet NSF requirements.
The cycle time will be extended until the proper water temperature is reached. Washing action will continue during the water heating delay. For best results, the incoming water temperature should be at least 120oF (49oC).
The sanitize criteria may not be satisfied if there is an interruption of the cycle, power failure or if the incoming water temperature is below 120oF (49oC).
To turn off the SANITIZE option, press the Wash Temp pad. The SANITIZE light will turn off.
Heat Dry
The HEAT DRY option in combination with rinse aid will enhance drying performance. HEAT DRY option is available on all cycles.
Air Dry
The AIR DRY option will reduce temperature in the hot rinse of the selected wash cycle. This option will slightly decrease energy usage but will increase the likelihood that dishware will not be dry.
My Favorite Cycle
The MY FAVORITE CYCLE option allows you to program your preferred cycle and options into one button. Once Programmed, simply press the MY FAVORITE CYCLE button will select the programmed cycle and options. Pressing the START/CANCEL pad and close the dishwasher door immediately will start the cycle.
To Program the MY FAVORITE CYCLE button:
- Select your preferred cycle and options
- Hold the MY FAVORITE CYCLE button for 3 seconds.
The LED over the MY FAVORITE pad turns on indicating the MY FAVORITE CYCLE option has been programmed. To change the MY FAVORITE CYCLE option simply repeat steps one and two above.
