I have a question regarding the temp of the first rinse. Do you run the water at the tap for the 1st rinse? The water in the line would have time to cool a bit since the main wash would have been 30+ minutes. I suppose the temp of the last rinse would be up to temp with the 1st rinse purging the line.

My father worked for Grants, so we had their appliances... The interior-design of the refrigerator we had, showed up on a Kelvinator that I saw years later, and a larger one with two lights in the refrigerator compartment, while the dials in both the main space and freezer were exact similar, and this also had upgraded shelving and additional drawers...
We probably had the cheap Sunray-made range--an electric with the knobs over the oven, but it had a tubular incandescent light bulb over the timer & clock which operated along with the windowed-oven light via three-way switch...
And the dishwasher was no more than the D&M design--a BOL white-only model, at that...
Lastly, I was curious about who made the washer and dryer, as they seemed to be counterparts to Norge-built and the WCI-family of brands, noting similar components and designs, though clearly Hamilton/Franklin while those companies were still in business were the true manufacturers...

Oh, as for BRADFORD:
Here are things a-plenty that wasn't just the name used for appliances/hard goods, Grants operated a likely-in store restaurant/eatery/cafe under that name as well...
So, lots to read from the company-history, onward, Online:

Grant's did indeed have an in store restaurant called Bradford House. The one in the town I grew up in served everything on real china and I remember the food being so good. I felt like I was eating in a fancy restaurant when Mom would take me there to go shopping and then eat lunch |
