The Frigidaire FFID2426TS4A is a 24-inch built-in dishwasher with stainless steel finish, featuring a Precision Direct Wash System that uses energy-efficient motors for washing and draining. It operates quietly compared to older models, with sounds including water splashing, spray arm rotation, and pauses between wash actions. The system cleans by spraying hot water and detergent through spray arms, followed by filtering and draining soil particles. Cycles involve multiple water fills and drains, varying by selection, and are designed to be longer for energy efficiency. The dishwasher includes DishSense Technology, which senses food soil levels and adjusts cycles automatically. It is NSF certified for residential use only and requires hot incoming water (at least 120°F/49°C) for optimal performance. Below are the key specifications and operation instructions.
