Frigidaire FDPC4314AW Getting Started

Getting started

with your

dishwasher

BEFORE YOU START

Set up your dishwasher

Make sure your top rack, bottom rack and silverware basket are in place and all packing materials and

ties are removed 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 cap.

If installed with a garbage disposal

Ensure the knock-out plug has been removed so the dishwasher can properly drain.

See 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

illuminate as each cycle or option is selected.

and dinnerware having light to heavily soiled loads.

2. Select NORMAL WASH* for light to heavily soiled loads.

4. Select CHINA CRYSTAL* for lightly soiled China, Crystal or other

delicate items.

5. Select TOP RACK* for light to heavily soiled small loads in the

upper rack.

loads with less water and the air dry setting.

cycle and options to a one touch control. See Use & Care
