Frigidaire Drain Series Dishwasher

How do I load the silverware basket correctly?

Load utensils with handles up to prevent nesting and reduce the risk of cut-type injuries. Mix spoons, knives, and forks together to prevent them from sticking together during the wash cycle.

Can I wash plastic items in this dishwasher?

You can only wash plastic items if they are marked 'Dishwasher Safe.' Washing unmarked plastic items may damage them.

How do I use the detergent dispenser?

Use only fresh automatic dishwasher detergent and add it just before starting the cycle. Store detergent in a cool, dry location away from children's reach.

Is it safe to operate the dishwasher if panels are missing?

No, do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are in their proper place. This is a safety requirement to prevent electrical hazards.

What are the electrical requirements for the Frigidaire Drain Series Dishwasher?

The dishwasher operates on 120V, 60Hz current. You should use a 15-ampere fuse or circuit breaker; however, a 20-ampere fuse is required if the dishwasher is connected with a food disposer. Additionally, ensure the dishwasher is properly grounded to prevent electrical shock.

My dishes have food soils left on them after washing. What should I do?

Try using a longer cycle, select the Hi-Temp Wash option for better cleaning performance, and check that your water pressure is between 20 to 120 psi. Also ensure you are loading dishes properly with items facing downward, especially in the lower rack.
