Operating Instructions
Model FDB679
Latch
Vent
Getting Started
1.  Load dishwashers (See Preparing and
Loading Dishes).
2.  Add detergent (See Dishwasher Dispenser
& Detergents).
3.  Add rinse aid, if needed (See Rinse Aid).
Wash Cycle Selections
4.  Turn dial clockwise to select cycle (See Cycle
Chart) or number of hours for delay start.
5.  Select desired OPTIONS (See Energy
Options).
6.  If using DELAY START, go to step number 8.
7.  Run hot water faucet nearest dishwasher
until water is hot. Turn water off.
8.  To start, close door to latch.
Note: 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 ON option has not been selected. When
HI-TEMP WASH ON is selected, an even higher
temperature will be guaranteed to handle
heavier soil loads.
Very Important Information-
Read Before Operating Your
Dishwasher!
Normal Operating
Sounds
This dishwasher does not sound like most
dishwashers—IT’S QUIETER.
The new Precision Wash System™ 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.
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 middle arm sprays water. If you
listen closely, you will hear the change in
sound as the wash action switches from one
arm to the other.
PLEASE BE ADVISED: If you compare
this dishwasher to previous models, you
may be surprised at what you DON’T
hear!
Delay Start

cycle up to 6 hours.
