Imperial? Patrician? Superba?

I've not seen an Imperial without a timer dial!

Glenn, this was an upscale Imperial or could be a Patrician. Prents of friends of mine here, who are also in the area, have this exact dishwasher. I did a double take the first time I saw the unit. Then I drooled.

David,

The Patrician fit into the line between Imperial and Superba. Typically it had the hidden rapid-advance timer like a Superba (as compared to the Imperial which usually had an exposed normal-speed timer), but with fewer cycle choices and maybe didn't get the full-rack-feature treatment.

Somebody needs to research a full model history of KA! I imagine there were some interesting things through the years.

This is actually a KUDI21D, user manual on KA site.
