Dacor DDW24S Manual

Operating Your Dishwasher

Starting Your Dishwasher

important

If the dishwasher drain line is connected to

a garbage disposal, run the disposal before

operating the dishwasher for proper drainage.

1. Open the door and push in on the

main power switch on the top of the

door so that it is in the on position.

The control panel on the front of the

dishwasher is lit when the switch is on.

2. Close the door. Push in gently on the top of the

door until it clicks shut.

3. Touch the

PROGRAM touch key repeatedly until

the indicator light for the desired wash cycle is lit.

See the facing page for a description of the wash

cycles.

4. If you want to change the wash

temperature setting, touch the

Wash

Temperature key repeatedly to toggle

between the “normal” setting and the “high”

setting. The light on the

Wash Temperature

key is lit when the temperature is set to “high.”

See the facing page for a description of the

temperature settings.

5. If you want to change the dish drying

time, touch

Dry repeatedly to toggle

between the “normal” and “high” setting.

The light on the

Dry cycle key is lit when the

dry time is set to “high.”

NOTE: When set to

“normal”, the rinse water temperature is lower,

causing the dishes to take longer to dry. Change

the setting to “high” if the dishes do not dry

properly.

6. Touch the

START/STOP touch key for 3

seconds. The display will flash three times to

indicate that the dishwasher is starting. If only

horizontal lines appear on the

display, the door is ajar. Push

in gently on the top of the door

until it clicks shut.

During Operation

• Once you have selected a program and options,

the display indicates how long the cycle took

the last time it was used. Once you start the

dishwasher, the display shows the estimated

time until the end of the new cycle. The display

changes periodically as the dishwasher

recalculates the cycle time based on water

temperature and the amount of soil remaining on

the dishes.

• If power to the dishwasher is turned off at the

main power switch or if there is a power outage

before the wash cycle completes, the selected

cycle will continue when the power is restored.

However, if power is interrupted or the door is

open more than two minutes during drying, the

cycle will end.

Adding a Dish After You Start

You can add a dish, if needed, after starting your

dishwasher. Dacor recommends that you only add

items during the first five minutes of operation to

make sure they get clean.

To add a dish:

1. Slowly open the door. The dishwasher will stop

operating. Wait a moment for the steam to clear.

2. Without touching any hot surfaces, dishes or

racks, insert the item into one of the racks,

following the normal loading instructions.

3. Close the door. Push in on the top of the door to

make sure that it is completely shut. Operation

will resume.

Standby Mode

Once the cycle is finished, the dishwasher will beep

and

End will appear on the display. When the cycle

completes, the dishwasher draws a very small

amount of power. Open the door and push the main

power switch to turn power off completely.

Stopping Your Dishwasher During

Operation

Touch the

START/STOP touch key for five seconds.

The dishwasher will stop operating.

Changing the Wash Cycle After You

Start

You can change the cycle, the wash temperature or

the dry setting after you start your dishwasher.
1. Open the door, then touch the

START/STOP

key for five seconds. The dishwasher will stop

operating.

2. If the detergent dispenser door has opened, add

more detergent.

3. Touch the

PROGRAM key repeatedly to select

the new wash cycle (the indicator for the desired

wash cycle will light).

4. If you want to change the wash temperature

or dry setting, touch the key for that function

repeatedly to toggle between settings.

5. Touch

START/STOP for 3 seconds, wait for the

display to flash three times, then close the door.
