John, yes there is a "2nd" wash. The timer dial is divided into 4 main sections: Regular wash (which is the wash which happens after the initial purge). The next section is something like short wash, light wash, or china. That's anotehr "wash". The next section is Rinse & Dry. That consists of two more fills for rinising. The last section is dry/plate warmer. To use any of the otehr cycles, you turn the knob to the right until it stops (kinda like on a push-button Lady Kenmore). Then simple push the fig fat dial in and it starts with a drain. then the purge. Then the fill for the detergent wash. I don't rememember exactly, but there oculd be a 1-minute rinse inbetween the first wash andd the 2nd wash phase which begins at the short wash section. Rich & Chuck, I believe this version has a small power shower spinning from the top of the tub. This model was the first restyle of the initial Frigidaire dishwasher. And as pointed out,t he top rack is a little bit differently arranged, not quite as dep as Robert's 1956. Part of that is due to the row of bowl or small plate tines across the very middle of the top rack. Chuck my best suggestion is to keep angling the glasses, think of that spray as fimply fanning out from the center. The examples above are good. Also do not put larger things in front of smaller things. An example would be that large mixing bowl in the picture above. Think of one that's slightly smaller. The instruction manual says not to put something (like coffee cups) "behind" that bowl on the far outside of the rack. But, something like coffee cups or measuring cups could go on that far outside edge of the rack "behind" glasses. It's going to take some getting used to. Rich, you're pretty much repeating just exactly what I heard housewives complain about glases out of this machine in 1963-1967. Like I said above, I somehow had a "knack" for loading everything in the top rack such that that they told me glasses looked betterr after I'd loaded the machine. And it is fun to just sit in front of the machine while it's running, it's very soothing and peaceful. Wish y'all didn't have so much going on in your lives right now, would love to have y'all send me some pics of loading patterns. Hugs to ya both and y'all are in my thoughts & prayers, as are your families. Bob
The dishes, in the bottom, come out fantastic but the glasses on the top have been a problem. They don't seem to rinse thouroughly. I am trying different glasses at different angles so that the jets spray up into the glasses.
