I just bought a used Equator compact dishwasher, model PLS 602 S. I
downloaded the Owner's Manual and Installation Instructions from the
Equator web site, but found them unhelpful in terms of operating the
machine. Here are some questions I have---please e-mail me answers if
you know them!

1) Do you use hot, warm, or cold water when you hook the machine up to
the sink?

2) When I set the dial to number 2, which is the "normal" wash setting,
the machine fills and washes for about 60 seconds and then drains.
This doesn't seem right. Am I doing something wrong?

3) There is a rinse aid container and dispenser in the back of the
inside of the machine. Do I just get liquid Jet-Dry and pour a little
in the container? Do I do this every time I fill the machine?

4) What are some suggestions for loading the machine efficiently. In
particular, is there a good way to put glasses on the rack (as opposed
to the shelf? The dish-holding, angled prongs seem to get in the way.

Thanks in advance for your help!! It's much appreciated!!!
