DISHWASHERSAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all

safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or

"WARNING." These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

immediatelv follow instructions,

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you

what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:

• Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.

• Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.

• Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended

for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of the

reach of children.

• When loading items to be washed:

1) Locate sharp items so that they are net likely to

damage the door seal; and

2) Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce

the risk of cut-type injuries.

• Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked

"dishwasher safe" or the equivalent. For plastic

items not so marked, check the manufacturer's

recommendations.

• Do not touch the heating element during or

immediately after use.

• Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure

panels are properly in place.

• Do not tamper with controls.

• Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish

racks of the dishwasher.

• To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to

play in or on the dishwasher.

Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be

produced in a hot water system that has not been

used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS

EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been

used for such a period, before using the dishwasher

turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow

from each for several minutes. This will release any

accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable,

do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

• Remove the door to the washing compartment when

removing an old dishwasher from service or

discarding it.

Doingsocanresult in serious injury or cuts.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Electrically ground dishwasher.

Connect ground wire to green ground connector

in terminal box.

Do not use an extension cord,

Failure to follow these instructions can result in

death, fire, or electrical shock.

Install where dishwasher is protected from the elements.

Protect against freezing to avoid possible rupture of fill valve.

Such ruptures are not covered by the warranty. See "Storing

Your Dishwasher" in the "Dishwasher Care" section for winter

storage information.

Install and level dishwasher on a floor that will hold the

weight, and in an area suitable for its size and use.

Remove all shipping plugs from hoses and connectors (such

as the cap on the drain outlet) before installing. See

Installation Instructions for complete information.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

•For a grounded, cord-connected dishwasher:

The dishwasher must be grounded. In the event

of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will

reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a

path of least resistance for electric current. The

dishwasher is equipped with a cord having an

equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding

plug. The plug must be plugged into an appro-

priate outlet that is installed and grounded in

accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING: Improper connection of the

equipment-grounding conductor can result in a

risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified

electrician or service representative if you are in

doubt whether the dishwasher is properly

grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with

the dishwasher; if it will not fit the outlet, have a

proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

For a permanently connected dishwasher:

The dishwasher must be connected to a

grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an

equipment-grounding conductor must be run

with the circuit conductors and connected to the

equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the

dishwasher.

START-UPGUIDE

Before using your dishwasher, remove all packaging materials.

Read this entire Use and Care Guide. You will find important

safety information and useful operating tips.

1. Scrape large food soil and hard items (toothpicks or bones)

from dishes.

2. Properly load the dishwasher. (See "Loading Your

Dishwasher") Make sure nothing prevents the spray arm(s)

from spinning freely.

3. Add detergent and check the rinse aid dispenser. Add rinse

aid if needed. (See "Using Your Dishwasher.")

4. Push door firmly closed. The door latches automatically. Run

hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the water

is hot. (See "Dishwasher Efficiency Tips.") Turn off water.

// !!

5. Select the desired cycle. (See "Using Your Dishwasher.")

6. Select the desired option. (See"Option Selections.")

You can stop your dishwasher anytime during a cycle.

1. Open the door slightly.

2. Wait for the spraying action to stop. Then open the door all

the way, if needed.

3. Close the door to continue the cycle.

1. Turn the Cycle Control knob slowly clockwise until you hear

water draining. Let the dishwasher drain completely.

2. Open the door.

3. Turn the Cycle Control knob to OFE

DISHWASHERLOADING

Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard

items from the dishes. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes

before putting them in the dishwasher. The wash module

removes food particles from the water. The module contains a

chopping device which will reduce the size of food items.

NOTE: If hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts, and egg shells

enter the wash module, you might hear chopping, grinding,

crunching, or buzzing sounds. These sounds are normal

when hard items enter the module. Do not let metallic items

(such as pot handle screws) get into the wash module.

Damage can occur.

Load dishes so soiled surfaces face the spray (down or

inward). It is important for the water spray to reach all soiled

surfaces.

• Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping if

possible. For best drying, water must be able to drain from all

surfaces.

• Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets,

etc., do not interfere with the spray arm rotation.

Run a rinse cycle to keep dishes moist if you do not plan to

wash them soon. Foods like eggs, rice, pasta, spinach, and

cooked cereals may be hard to remove if they are left to dry

over a period of time.

Quiet operating tips

To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation:

• Make sure lightweight load items are secured in the racks.

• Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets,

etc., do not touch interior walls or interfere with the rotation of

the spray arm.

• Load dishes so they do not touch one another.

NOTE: For built-in models, keep sink drain plugs closed during

dishwasher operation to prevent noise transfer through drains.

The top rack is designed for cups, glasses, and smaller items.

(See recommended loading patterns shown.)

NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the

drawings shown.

Do not cover third level spray. See arrow.

Cup and glass load

Mixed load

The bottom rack is designed for plates, pens, casseroles, and

utensiSs. Items with cooked-on or dried-on food should be loaded

with soiled surfaces facing inward to the spray. (See

recommended loading patterns shown.)

NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the

drawings shown.

Do not cover spray tower. See arrow.

• Place items so open ends face down for cleaning and

drain{rig.

• Load glasses and cups in top rack only. The bottom rack is

not designed for glasses and cups. Damage can occur.

• Place cups and glasses in the rows between prongs. Placing

them over the prongs can lead to breakage.

• To avoid chipping, do not let stemware touch other items.

• China, crystal, and other delicate items must not touch each

other during dishwasher operation. Damage can occur.

• Wedge lightweight items against one another or overlap them

with heavier dishes.

• Load plastic items securely in the top rack only. Wash only

plastic items marked "dishwasher safe."

• Small bow(s, pens, and other utensils can be placed in the

top rack.

• Load bowls in the center section for best stability.

Mixed load

Do not load glasses, cups, or plastic items in the bottom

rack. Load small items in the bottom rack only if they are

secured in place.

Load plates, soup bowls, etc., between tines and facing

inward to the spray.

Overlap the edges of plates for large loads.

Load soup, cereal, and serving bowls in the rack in a variety

of ways depending upon their size and shape. Load bowls

securely between the rows of tines. Do not nest bowls

because the spray will not reach all surfaces.

Utensil load

Load cookie sheets, cake pans, and other largo items at the

sides end back. Loading such items in front can keep the

water spray from reaching the detergent dispenser and

silverware basket.

Secure heavily soiled cookware face down in the rack.

Make sure pot handles and other items do not stop rotation

of the spray arm(s). The spray arm(s) must move freely.

Do not load items between the bottom rack and the side of

the dishwasher tub. You can block the water inlet opening.

NOTE: If you have removed the bottom rack for unloading or

cleaning, replace it with the bumpers in front.

Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom rack or take

the basket out for loading on a counter or table.

NOTE: Unload or remove the basket before unloading the racks

to avoid spilling water droplets on the silverware.

Mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing up

and some down to avoid nesting. Spray cannot reach nested

items,

IMPORTANT: Always load sharp items (knives, skewers, forks,

etc,) pointing down.

NOTES:

•Do not load silver or silver-plated silverware with stainless

steel, These metals can be damaged by contact with each

other during washing.

•Some foods (such as salt, vinegar, milk products, fruit juices,

etc.) can pit or corrode silverware. Run a rinse cycle if you do

not have a full load to wash immediately.

DISHWASHERUSE

The detergent dispenser has 2 sections. The Pre-Wash section

empties detergent into the dishwasher when you close the door.

1 2 3 4

I. Cover

2. Main wash section

3. Cover latch

4, Pre-wash section

The Main Wash section automatically empties detergent into the

dishwasher during the main wash. (See the "Cycle Selection

Chart.")

• Use automatic dishwashing detergent only. Other detergents

can produce excessive suds that can overflow out of the

dishwasher and reduce washing performance.

• Add detergent just before starting cycle.

• Store tightly closed detergent in a cool, dry place. Fresh

automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning.

NOTE: Do not use detergent with a rinse cycle,

Filling the dispenser

1. If the dispenser cover is closed, open the cover by pushing

the Cover latch.

2. Fill the Main Wash section with detergent. See "How Much

Detergent to Use."

3. Close the Main Wash dispenser cover. Fill the Pre-Wash

section if needed.

NOTE: If you select the Normal cycle by turning the Cycle

Control knob before filling the dispenser, the detergent dispenser

cover will not stay latched. This is normal and will not affect

washing performance.

it is normal for the cover to open partially when dispensing

detergent.

NOTE: Use both sections for cycles with 2 washes. Use only the

covered section for cycles with 1 wash. See the "Cycle Selection

Chart" for more details.

How much detergent to use

• The amount of detergent to use depends on the hardness of

your water and the type of detergent. If you use too little,

dishes won't be clean. If you use too much in soft water,

glassware will etch.

• Water hardness can change over a period of time. Find out

your water's hardness by asking your local water department,

water softener company, or county extension agent.

Different brands of dishwasher detergent have different

amounts of phosphorous for softening water. If you have hard

water and use a detergent with a phosphorous content of less

than 8.7%, you might need to use more detergent, or use a

detergent with a phosphorous content higher than 8.7%.

NOTE: Fill amounts shown are for standard powdered detergent.

Amounts may vary if you use liquid or concentrated powdered

detergent. Follow instructions on the package when using liquid

dishwasher detergent or concentrated powdered detergent.

Rinse aids prevent water from forming droplets that can dry as

spots or streaks. They also improve drying by allowing water to

drain off of the dishes during the final rinse by releasing a small

amount of the rinse aid into the rinse water. Your dishwasher is

designed to use a liquid rinse aid. Do not use a solid or bar-type.

Checking the dispenser

Check the center of the Fill Indicator cap. Clear means it needs

filling.

_jJ

Or you can remove the Fill indicator cap. If an "E" is visible, the

dispenser is empty.

Filling the dispenser

The rinse aid dispenser holds 6 oz (175 mL) of rinse aid. Under

normal conditions, this will last for about three months. You do

not have to wait until the dispenser is empty to refill it. Try to keep

it full, but be careful not to overfill it.

1. Make sure the dishwasher door is completely open.

2. Remove the Fill Indicator cap.

3. Add rinse aid. Fill to the smallest opening in the lower part of

the dispenser. Overfilling can cause the rinse aid to leak out,

and could cause oversudsing.

4. Clean up any spilled rinse aid with a damp cloth.

5. Replace the Fill Indicator cap. Close tightly.

Hot water dissolves and activates the dishwashing detergent.

Hot water also dissolves grease on dishes and helps glasses dry

spot-free. For best dishwashing results, water must be at least

120°F (49°C) as itenters the dishwasher. Loads may not wash as

well if the water temperature is too low.

To check water temperature

1. Run hot water at the faucet closest to your dishwasher for at

least 1 minute.

2. Place a candy or meat thermometer in a glass measuring

cup.

3. Check the temperature on the thermometer as the water is

running into the cup.

4. If the water temperature at the faucet is below 120°F (49°C),

have a qualified person raise the water heater's thermostat

setting.

• To save water, energy and time, do not rinse dishes before

putting them into the dishwasher.

• Use a low energy, quick, or short cycle whenever possible.

These cycles use less hot water and energy than the Normal

cycle.

• Use a delay feature to run your dishwasher during off-peak

hours. Local utilities recommend avoiding heavy usage of

energy at certain times of day.

• During the summer, run your dishwasher at night. This

reduces daytime heat buildup in the kitchen.

• Use an air dry, or an energy-saving dry option whenever

possible. Allow longer drying times (overnight) when using

these options. Use a rinse aid to improve drying.

• Use cycles or options that add extra heat to the wash or rinse

portion of the cycle only when needed.

• Run your dishwasher with full loads. Run a rinse cycle after

meals until the dishwasher is full.

Press the desired cycle. Turn the Cycle Control knob to the

desired cycle. If the door is latched, you will hear the cycles start

and stop as the Cycle Control knob passes each cycle mark. This

is normal and does not hurt the dishwasher. If you prefer, you can

set the Cycle Control knob with the door unlatched.

To use Rinse Only, press any cycle and turn the Cycle Control

knob to Rinse Only.

NOTE: Use the Air Dry option with the Rinse Only cycle.
