Enjoy the fingerprint-free PrintShield finish on this KitchenAid dishwasher. Its pocket handle makes it simple to open and adds a stylish look, and the Clean Water Wash system means you won't have to change the filter. This KitchenAid dishwasher has a ProWash cycle that chooses the best wash cycle for each load.
Q: Does this dishwasher have a food grinder/disposer?
A: Our previous 19 year old KitchenAid had a hard food disposer built into it. From what I could find on the new models, none have the hard food grinder/disposer. So far the machine works very well and is very quiet. Many newer dishwashers have a reputation of not drying well, especially if no rinse/drying agent is used. This one dries very well just like our old one did. If it lasts 19 years, we will be really pleased. We will be even more pleased if we last 19 more years!
A: Yes, the height is adjustable by one inch. The minimum height is 33 1/2" and the maximum height is 34 1/2".
Q: Does the free installation include removing the dishwasher already there?
A: Yes, but if you want them to haul it off, there is an additional fee.
Q: Does this dishwasher have a third rack?
A: No it doesn't. Awesome features very quiet.
Q: Does this require a Rinse Aid to work?
A: We don't use a rinse aid in ours, and it works just fine. We don't like the chemical taste it leaves on the dishes and we feel it's unnecessary to spend money on that as well.
A: The Kitchenaid machine we purchased has a heated dry option an option they call Pro Dry which utilizes a fan to circulate the heated air in the machine during drying. We've found that by using this option it dries far better than our prior machine which had only a heated dry capability. Yes, there will be a bit of moisture in the concave bottoms of inverted glassware, but that's it. It even completely dries the plastic fridge containers which never got dry in our old machine. We do use a rinse aid product as recommended in the user guide. This product causes the water to sheet and drain off the dishes helping to eliminate droplets of water on the dish surfaces. Such droplets will tend to dry more slowly.
Q: Can you run Kitchenaid Dishwasher on cold water
A: The water entering the Dishwasher needs to be at least 120° F. We would not recommend running the Dishwasher on cold water.
A: Yes, you can remove the tops from the sliver ware holder. You lift them up at the end a slide it off.
